i dont mean the subs, i mean the component speakers. plus thats all greek to me, im a noob here when it comes to audio equipment. i wanted to see if someone could tell me the difference in plain english

i have the x, the biggest diffrence is the adjustible crossovers. they will allow you to get everything perfect. but if your not that paticular the the the r will work just fine

As far as a speaker being better for a certain style a music, it's nonsense. A stereo is designed to produce the signal. how well it does this determines the quality of the speaker. i own the type-x components and they're not bad, i wouldnt buy them again though. I find them to be a little thin on the midbass but that could be the fault of my kick panels.

A friend of mine has a set of type R's for sale. Never heard them , but I think he wanted $75 for them. They look nice , and in good condition. I believe they are the 5 1/4" components.

But a fair amount of work to install in the doors, and sound good, def. not on the oem plastic speaker mounts, and cheesy MDF rings are no better, a custom MDF speaker mount to replace the oem plastic ones and a lot of "rattle" control and Dynamating, [or the like]. 94

Everything about the alpine Type X is better than the Type R.

The Vifa ring radiator tweeter on the Type X is awesome. Midrange isn't the best for the price, but it gets the job done. Take the Type X over the Type R unless you're on a budget.

have you ever heard of rainbow speakers? Not all speakers are made the same. you compare sony speakers to rainbow speakers. then you can tell me speakers are just speakers.

what the expletive are you talking about? yes i've heard of rainbow, yes i've heard of sony. I know rainbow speakers are "better" than sony speakers. now what does this have to do with what i said?

you saying that certain speakers can't be for certain types of music, which is not true. Rainbow speakers, for example, are made for high end listening with the tweeters tuned and midbass and all the crossovers set right, will make it sound like your in a concert hall. You try and get sony speakers to sound like that. don't tell people all speakers are the same. because there not.

is english your second language? did you actually read what i wrote.
I dont have rainbow speakers but i do have speakers which would be considered high end. Whether or not it "sounds like i'm at a concert hall" is mostly determined by the cd i chose to listen to. An amazing stereo wont make a **** recording sound wonderful, it will only reproduce what is on the cd.

Engineer's dont sit down and say "today we're going to design some speakers to play hip hop or to sound like a concert hall." A good speaker is designed to have the flatest frequency response no matter what type of music you listen to. Sure all speakers sound different, some are designed to have more midbass, some are designed to have amazing midrange response (think B&W FST mid's. they can't go below 400hz but they sound very smooth up to 4.5Khz). I can listen to anything from Bach to Foo Fighters on my stereo and it all sounds great. My whole point was a better speaker will sound better not matter what type of music you listen to.

As for rainbow speakers making it sound like you're at a concert hall. sure...if the cd was recorded to sound like it was at a concert hall or you've seriously altered the acoustics of your car to have certain properties. just out of curiousity where did you pull this information about rainbow speakers from? your ***?

and do you have any idea what speakers i have?

I wouldn't doubt EBP_SI's knowledge on audio at all. He got some stuff that are pretty much high-end. I doubt even the audiophiles out there would call his stuff crap or whatever. He definitely knows what he's talking about.

sony224422

yup my *** is smarter than you. anyways, yeah no your wrong. speakers are designed for different listening stages. lets think about that. are 3 or 4 ways the same as 2 ways. and componets. oh i guess they are according to you. and yeah you don't need rear speakers as i have seen you don't like because when the front are tuned right, they make the sound reproduced to make it sound like its all around you. now, about rainbows, im sure they better than what you have.. what do you have, why don't you enlighten us
