SPX-177r

I can get the old x's for 200 new and at an authorized dealer hear in town my questions are:

1. Should i buy them? Are there other brands that would fit into my system plans?

(See sig for what i have and i am planning to do away with my type r 12 and replace with 2 id8v3d4)

2. Can the type x mid play down to 80hz or will they only effectively pick up 100hz on up? I know many say the mid bass is lacking ( i did search).

I am shooting for sq and laid back tweets so if you know of any others please feel free.

i only have experience with the type r comps but i think the consensus is that alpine tweets arent very laid back.....some are quite harsh..... like i said dont know anything bout the x's but thats my experience and what ive read about the alpines....

I am here! LOL

$200 authorized is a great price, imo. If you want utmost SQ and don't mind a bit of a laid-back mid on 75w rms, go for it. The tweeters won't be harsh by any means, but not really laid back either. Accuracy is the name of the game here.

I have read some comments of the mids being sent a good clean 175-200w rms and the midbass becomes a bit more aggressive, but I can not confirm or deny this, as I've only sent my mids a max of 100w rms.

Just be sure to have sealed and deadened doors if they are to be mounted there. I have a half-*** deadening job right now and they perform well, so I can only imagine the results would get even better with an adequate job.

Passive biamped. Had plans to go active, but never got around to installing the XO I bought.
