[QUOTE="DejaWiz, post: 2291772, member: 569941"] Again, this is subject to what each of us want out of our speakers. I was fortunate enough to audition many component sets before settling on the Type X. I never found a local dealer with the X's on demo, but I did run across a guy with a set in his Accord that I got to listen to. I wasn't looking for a necessarily loud speaker (although the Type X's with 100w rms per side can get loud), I was looking for good presence of midbass, smooth and nonharsh tweets, and a very natural sound emittance. Not to forget that the passive xovers included are some of the most versatile on the market regardless of price range. For a budget up to about $200, it's my opinion that there is no greater comp set than the Type X's for fulfilling the desire for superb SQ. This is going to depend and vary on the intall, however. Now, if one can extend that budget by around $100 and is looking for profoundly sweet midbass, then I'd be so inclined to say the SLC 265 Kick's would be the better option, IMO. [/QUOTE]
