Get the one's that sound good to you. Then worry about installing them so that they are aimed in a better way than stock.

I tell you the truth, my uncle has Kappas in his truck and they sound pretty good. I'd go with Infinity because Ive always liked there speakers. On the other hand if you got money to spend get a pair of Focals like I did. They will blow all those othe brands awayy!

My vote: Infinity KAPPA 62.5I 6-1/2"

go to www.thezeb.com and buy the CDT components on special for $150. You will never think any brands you listed are decent again.

I think Richard Pruor said it best in Brewster's Millions, "Vote for none of the above." There are so many good speakers out there. And the bottom line is the more you spend on speakers the better off everything is. There is 10 times as much difference in a $150 pair of speakers and a $250 pair as compare to $150 amp or $250 amp. Put a little more in the speakers, and it will go a long way.

And with all the differences in how speakers sound even more performance can be had by droperly aiming and crossover adjustment. Not to mention that you can taylor even bad speakers to sound good with careful EQ settings. But the easiest thing to improve speaker performance is the installation.

Tapout speaks the truth. Those CDT's are $300 discounted because of a bad paint job. Take a look please!
