System is basically going to comprise of.....

Alpine CDA-7969R deck
Alpine MRV-F345 V12 Amp 2x75 for splits and 1x300 for Sub.

What Im after is opinions on which speakers and sub I should run, for now the sub will be fed 300rms and later given a monobloc of about 500-600rms. The splits 75x2rms for now, 110rmsx2 when I get the monobloc.

Splits, I am running Focal 165v2's at the moment and Im quite impressed with their quality, but find they can be a lil bright at times for me.
So I'm looking at four sets of splits-
*Focal Polyglass 165V2 Splits
*Morel Pulse 6.5"
*Hertz HSK165
*Alpine SPR-17LS

Sub - Im after SQ not SPL, I have two subs in mind.
*Xtant X104 10"
*Alpine TypeR 12"

Which would be best in this setup, in the interests of SQ? Will be installed in a sedan.
Any opinions greatly appreciated and welcomed.

Cheers
Luke

Ummm SQ, nice clean high's and vocals. Good tight bass with a decent thump. A balanced system which replays music how it should sound.

I listen to various types of music, some examples would be....
AC/DC
Guns 'N Roses
2Pac
The Police
Led Zepplin
50cent
Creed
Live
Black Eyed Peas
Infected Mushrooms
Ben Lee
Coldplay
U2
and some Top40 songs

Hope this gives you some indication.

I have just ordered the Hertz HSK 165s today, so wont receive them till sometime next week, but anywyas, once installed i will give you my feedback.. The hertz are perfect for rnb and dance type music-- i have been told.. But once installed and all, will give you my review..

For now the hertz will be installed only to a headunit (alpine 9835), till one day when i can afford a small 2 channel amp, so i dont think i will be gettin the most out of them just yet..

eclipse titanium subs ah very good and would suit your needs very nicely

i own an xtant 12" and my mate had a type r..

to be honest, the type r wasnt anything great. i listened to his sub and it was very sluggish. the type r went alot louder off 350wrms compared to my sub which was running 600wrms.

i would definately choose xtant over type r..

Thought about it Rob, but I can get the Xtant for $200.

Ordered it today.

Thanks all, now Im chasing opinions re splits to go for.

Any ideas guys?
