Pioneer vs JBL speakers!

[cikurellu]

So I'm going to buy one of these pairs of speakers for my car. They are going to be front speakers run off the headunit (for now) and complemented by a small subwoofer ( Clarion SRV202 ). Now I just widh to know which one of these you'd prefer...one is a Pioneer 3-way, the other a JBL 2-way. I can get them for the same price.

Pioneer: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v3/pg/product/details/0,,2076_310069904_375861766,00.html

JBL: http://www.jbl.com/car/products/product_detail.aspx?prod=GTO6527&Language=ENG&Country=GB&Region=EUROPE&cat=MEL&ser=GTS

Thanks a lot for your help!

I personally have those JBL 2ways for my rear speakers, amped. They get LOUD, I can easily make them loud enough to hurt my ears.

The last time I had Pioneer speakers was 5 years ago, they were decent but I didn't have them amped so I can't really compare.

All I can tell you is that the JBL are great speakers, they don't have excessively loud highs like Infinity Kappa, they are LOUD in the mid range and still have good highs, but not TOO high. They are like an all-around speaker, sound best when complemented by a seperate sub.
