Personally I wouldn't pay for the JL. The Kappas sound pretty good, but the higher frequencies seem a little harsh sometimes. Eh, I would pass on both the Polk and the Pioneers. Another you might want to look at are the boston Sl80s. I've had those for a year and a half. If you could find some DD CX6x8s or Critcal Mass 6x8s that would be badass. What I found out over a period of time is that I like a louder front stage with no speakers in the rear. This would allow you to spend more money on a nice set. IMO that would be better than buying 4 lesser ones.
peace

I agree but with both of these brands to get the sound quality that you want you must go with the top end speaker. I am running Kicker QS and SS components in my 06 f150

Haven't bought yet, took some peoples suggestions, and have been looking around a little, still looking to stay right around $120 per pair of 6x8...so i KNOW there has to be something that is very good quality at this price, i'm not trying to win competitinos here or anything, just enjoy my music tot he fullest.
here is what i have stumbled across lately, lets hear your opinions

Yeah, i think i will go with the JLs. I like silk dome tweets, as they are what is in my speakers at home. I hate shrill highs that hurt my ears, as they cause me listeners fatigue.
thanks for the responses all
