Like comparing a bucket of pus to a 2001 Grange Hermitage

1998 has proven to be the best year for red in the last 15 years.

Both will sound better than the factory speakers your probably upgrading from, and check the dollar difference, make your own mind up in the end.

thanks, good advice, i am sure a visit to the local man is a good idea.
Regardless of name brands as you guys say, if it sounds good and has clear sound within the different ranges, then the speakers have good sound. If you are unaccustomed to judging sounds in general, how do you distinguish between say 3 or 4 speakers that seem to all have good sound?
Sorry if i am frustrating to speak to due to not being experts like you guys... i am just trying to gather as much info as i can before speaking to a salesman who will just try to sell you speakers regardless of what stock they have.....

Well personally if i think if its got a hint of harshness in the board, it will almost sound worse in the car.
