component speakers are good from my point of view. i think they are better because they come with a mid and tweeter plus the crossover. they crossover makes the sound quality better and you can set the settings to how you like depending on how you set your main crossover for your amps for the subs or your mids and high speakers. I prefer if you like system get a crossover 3 input 3 output. they okay...audiobahn got one its okay not the best but affordable, you know? so yeah thats good system you starting with though. i like infinity component sets though. they bad man...
