[QUOTE="spentfromnz, post: 5722020, member: 607990"] Aside from it being way cheaper ($300 for a comp set vs $18 for the woofers off ebay), I just think setting the crossovers at 2k was a sketchy move on Pioneer's part. I have been looking at specs on a lot of passives, and the common mark seems to be 3 to 3.5k. My guess is Pioneer wanted to move the image further forward, in which case they should have packaged a wider range tweeter with their PRS set. If people want to weight in with actual solid facts to back up their opinions then of course I will listen to what they have to say. But to say "that's going to sound terrible because they weren't made to go together", well that's a pretty weak argument. Peanut butter and jelly wasn't designed to go together but people still like it. There's hundreds of other comparisons I could draw but you get what I'm driving at, just because they weren't designed for a specific purpose doesn't mean they can't be used that way. Also, why is a sealed 10" Alpine R-type no good for SQ? Again this comes down to actually explaining yourself instead of just making general statements. It is one of the few 10" subs available to me that can handle the 400W the amp is putting out. Other than that I would probably have to go with an overpriced Kicker CVR or a fugly JBL P1020e. So yeah in short I do want to hear what you have to say, as long as it's not baseless speculation. [/QUOTE]
