Of the 3 choices, which do you guys think is the better choice for me. I can only hear the speakers on display at the store and I know it doesnt accurately represent what it sounds like installed in my car. I have heard the Polks in the wall and so far am leaning toward those. However, my friend has the Kappas in his S and it sounds really good installed in the car.
Bascially I want to hear from people that have heard these speakers and only these speakers installed. I am using an Alpine 9857 HU and have an Audison LRx300.4 that I will install when I decide which speaker to buy. I also have the S-pods that will match whatever I put in the doors. I also have an Audison LRx400.1 that I may or may not use for a 10" sub in a WLaurent box (depending on the sound I get from the speakers).
I used the search function but it didnt really answer my questions as a lot of people started throwing up other speaker suggestions. These are what I am choosing from, Im just not sure which one. TIA

IMHO, the Kappa Perfects arent in the same category as the other two. They are a good step above.

ummm... none of us can tell you what type of sound you like. If you can find the locally, go have yourself a listen.

But like Dave said the Perfects are a bit above the other 2.

I thought about that after I posted this, but I let it go anyway. Just a well rounded sound..Crisp clear Highs, nice medium midtones w/o a lot of resonance, crisp punchy bass w/o all the flutter.

question... if impedence is 2 ohms that mean that it takes less power than the 4 ohms to produce the same volume, right?
