[QUOTE="Chuppster, post: 8468420, member: 668730"] I have an '02 Grand Prix with an aftermarket head unit and one of the door speakers is blown. I'm also a broke college kid. So I'm trying to find a decent component set that will replace the factory speakers, but in the future it'd be really nice to amplify the setup. My question is: what is the best bang-for-your-buck option in terms of component speakers? There's the big brands like RF, Alpine, and JL, and they offer somewhat affordable solutions, but what's the real difference in speakers? I'm sure they all have different frequency responses, but what makes Alpine Spr-50c's worth $50 more than a Rockford Fosgate P152-S? Is it all just brand name? Or is the crossover superior and the build quality better on the Alpine? I don't need tons of power handling (50 Watts RMS is plenty), as I'm not looking to blow my ears out just yet, but I would like quality, as I listen to a lot of Hardcore/Heavy Metal which can be difficult to accurately replicate at higher volumes. Thank you for any input you have to offer. [/QUOTE]
