but for the same money dont you think it would be beneficial to go with a better set of components for the front and skip the rears or at least leave them to the very end? i also dont think doing both is in the budget since its only a choise between the type S components and the type R coax's

Re: which alpine speaker? (EBP_SI)
He didn't ask about better components, just about the SPS-171A and the SPR-17LP, If he had I would have mentioned MB Quart or Eclipse or JL Audio, [all of whom I think make better components then Alpine, and I would have recommended he leave the stock speakers in the rear for rear fill for now.
But he didn't, so I won't.

assuming he's sticking with alpine...he could at least go type R components instead of the type S in the 4 corners like you suggested. after all...your front stage is the most important part.
