Which Component System to Choose

[AcidicDreams 10+ year member]

I am having a heck of a time choosing a component system for my car. I wanted to know what everyone has heard and liked. I am going to list all the systems that are in my price range. Let me know which you guys would buy.
MB Quart RCE 216

Focal 165 V1

Infinity Kappa 60.7 cs

JL Audio VR 650

Polk MMC6500

Alpine Type R

Right now I am leaning towards one of the top 3 systems. Let me know if you guys think otherwise and which one you like the best.

Thanks

Your installation is going to make a bigger difference than the speakers. If I couldn't hear each set, I'd narrow it down to hard/soft tweeter and take your preference first, and then as a tie breaker the set with better midbass extension via the rolloff on the frequency response. Again, installation I'd think about first. Are you installing these IB in the doors or kicks, in a sealed/ported enclosure, what are the mounting locations, and is your deadening budget as large as the budget for the drivers?

Hey 6spdcoupe, which set of focals did you listen to? I know at least the ones I have aren't harsh at all. The tweeters are designed to not be harsh at all with the phase plug, beryllium tweeter with a surround on it. I love the sound reproduction they give very natural sounding.

Thanks again for all the input. I think i am going to try and build kick plates for the speakers to go in. I have a freind that has worked with fiverglass before though he has never done kick panels. I was wondering if anyone has made kick panels. If so could you share some info on how to do it and what you need. thanks
