JL XR's vs Alpine Type X comps

[MisterGrubbs 5,000+ posts]

Which one for SQL, so to speak

Clarity is key on them

Sending 100x2 to the set, keep that in mind

All opinions welcomed

I've heard the VR's from JL and they sounded good, so I'm hoping the XR's will live up to what I expect. No clue what the Alpine's sound like.

Dont want horns...

Other opinions? I nkow it sounds stupid, but I believe these are the only options left, I was considering CDT but I just dont have any experience with them and I'm afraid of it

jls arent "loud" dont know about the zr's but i owned and messed extensively with the xr653 3 way set up. it sounds pretty at moderate volumes but definately not "jamming" speakers

I don't need them deafly loud, I just need them loud enough to be audible with a XXX15

And Clear

Clarity is key

How much on the X's?

 

[audiolife 5,000+ posts]

you can hear them with a xxx15 but imo would be not so good but some people like drowned out highs lol

How much on the X's?

I just bought them for the Subaru. It was between these and the Eclipse SC8365s, but I was able to get a set of the Type X for under $200. I will try them out after hearing good things about them.

That thread says that 8365's are the better set

When you get the Alpine's installed would you be willing to meet me?

I'm in Newnan, GA

Yes, but $310 vs $180, so I thought I would try out the Alpine. That and the Alpine were very close to the Eclipse in the author's opinion.

Sure, but it may be a week or two.

i have the cdt hd62 and love them. if i was you, i'd look again at cdt audio. great speakers for the price.

Once again - I'm biased towards CDT because I have never heard them and have no way of hearing them

That's fine, I'd be glad just let me know, where in Atlanta are you located?

CDT are deffinately great sounding speakers for the price. IMHO they are better sounding than the type-X components, but each has their own taste.

CDT also has great customer service. My brother had a tweet go out on him, called CDT, they asked for his address and shipped a new one out without sending the old one in, or any substantial questioning...got there in a week.
