Right now I have 2003 series(around there, maybe 2002) alpine type-r 6.5" component speakers powered by my Alpine mrv-t320 amp. I also have the Alpine CDA-9807 Will the SPX-177R type-x speakers make a big difference at all? For RCAs I have the Stinger Dream series interconnects so its a clean signal goin to the amp, i dont use any cheap parts in my car.

right now im making custom door pods(from waht i have allready, they are goin to turn out really nice) and im thinkin of upgrading to the SPX-177R. I would get them on ebay (for ~$185+shipping) or wait to get them at BestBuy at the employee price(if they can get them) when i work there soon.

is it worth it for the setup i have?

(my stuff currently)

Yes. 94

 

will there be any better sounding components out there?

 

there are numerous amounts of better component sets out there.

The Type X are a much better sounding speaker then the Type R, but there are better speakers then Type X also. 94

 

I work at Best Buy and I don't think you are going to be able to get the X's with your discount. It depends on what district your store is in, but I doubt it. You might be able to get them on employee accomodations but I doubt that too. You kinda just have to wait for a company to put their stuff on accomodations.

But yeah like they have said there are better components out there. I've heard good things about Crystal and CDT you might wanna check them out.

i've got the type x speakers and i can honestly say theres a million other speakers that sound better.

which ones? i dont want $1500 component speakers but waht other ones that are around the same MSRP as the type-x speakers?

 

im looking around and seeing that MB Quart and Boston Acoustics is typically the top choice. are these the best to get without spending tons of money? im thinking of getting them off of ebay.

i like my type-r speakers(worlds away from my stock speakers) but im kind of looking for a more better sound.

The MB Quart QSD216 cost about $250 which i would like to get later on.

what do you think?

 

I'd look into dynaudio. some of the best components and home speakers i've heard.

way out of my range. even on ebay its way too expensive for me. im keeping my type-rs till i find another, better pair of components. what do people think of the MB quart or Boston Acoustic?

 

i would honestly look into saving up for the dynaudio speaker set.. im in deep thought about saving my money and replacing my jl xr 3-way component set with the dynaudio system 360.. i think it may suit my needs better for my w6

true words right here ive actually owned a pair and the speakers in my opinion are good if your not running any woofers, the bass is good but the quality could be better. boston acoustics or mb quartz ftw

 

do realize that you have to work at best buy a minimum of 60 days (i believe thats the number, been a while since i worked there) before you can actually get the discount.

yea i know. ill be working there for a while. i wont be getting new speakers for a while.

i need components that work well with subs because ill be getting a pair also.

 

if you can get a job with the install shop or the geek squad, they get paid on average 2x more than the floor workers

def what im doing. i can apply to both probably. im going ot have 2 mecp certs so im first going to apply at the install bay...so far the door pods im making are turning out really well.

im also very good with computers, i always do my friends comps for free(to fix them) so its hard to comprehend how much they charge everyone
