I am after a good set of SQ orientated splits. They will be mounted in pods on the doors of my MightyBoy. I have listened to the Alpine Type X's and was more than impressed with the quality of these. What other models/makes should I check out before committing the the Type X's? My system is all Alpine but for the front stage i'm willing to check out other brands. Price range about $500-$600

Thanks heaps

Look at the rainbow range,especially the kicks...

Haven't heard them, but supposedly they are awesome speakers and great bang for buck.

do a search for brand names but diamond audio, dd, focal, boston, rainbow, DLS, hertz, morel are all very good brands...

take what you liked about the type x's and then see if any of these brands match up and or excel

dd w6.5, focal k2p, boston sl60 and morel elate6 would be on my audition list at that price point

The list I gave you on MSN is pretty much what you will get told here. Spyne got one I didnt though, the DDW6.5s. Ill talk to you about it tomorrow.

Hertz speakers have fantastic midbass punch and range, dont think they were mentioned
check out the link in my sig for heaps of names in car audio

edit : *looks up* oh, it was mentioned

I know two cars you've heard them in, ya dumb bastard

oops, slc kicks I mean.

Anyway, for the record, vandium kicks are bloody awesome

morel elate series. they are around 630-680. they play very good sound

PM andrewk (mate of brady's and mine also from traralgon) you might be able to talk him into selling the boston pro 6.5s
