SQ speaker debate: advice and experience needed!, ground zero, jbl or alpine? Options

[xkillerx]

in my previous topic i mentioned that i'm chaging my speaker setup. i already have a kenwood excelon head unit and a kenwood excelon subwoofer

and did i mention my unique kenwood excelon x650d digital 5-channel amplifier?

in the beginning i didnt want to spend much money (i'm kinda broke after spending allll the money on the celica... worth every penny!!!!! ) but in the end decided to get something good. and going broke


right now i'm thinking about Ground Zero hydrogen 165X components. pure aluminium woofer cones, pure titanium tweeters. could i ask for more?
yes. they cost a stunning 180 euros. that's like more than 250 american $$.

for the same amount of money i could get apline type-r's, although they have silk tweeters and pulp-mesh woofers.

for a lot less money i could get alpine type-s compos and actually save some money for a radar detector.

alpine also has some cheap and easy to install "custom fit" compos that DONT have a separate crossover?? should i stay away from things like this?

or, get JBL GTO6507C (my personal fave so far) that should be real cheap (about a 100 euros) and i believe they should be really, really good (for the money).


than again, i could spend a hundred euros more than on the Ground Zero's and spend it all on the ultimate alpine's: type x compos.


rear speakers aren't as important anyways, they will be a 2-way coaxial pair to anything i get (eg alpine 17c2 for type s or r compos, jbl 6527 if i get the 6507 compos etc...).

i'm looking for sound quality and vivid, realistic sound more than anything else, since i'm well aware all these monsters will sound moooore than loud in my car.


btw, i just remembered there's a slight chance that i can get monacor speakers. although i have no idea how good they sound or how expensive they would be.


that's it. sorry people, i live in a wasteland, i cant order stuff from the net, so please dont tell me to get mb quart, infinity, polk or boston acoustics. i cant even get kenwood excelon anymore for christ's sake!!!


thank you in advance for all your help!! celica rulllzzzz
