I'm planning on replacing my speakers in my 2007 Civic Ex. I believe I killed them probably because from bumping too much. Well anyways, I'm debating on whether I should go with the type r's or kappa's. I'm thinking of replacing all the speakers in the car two tweeters, four speakers, and probably get an amp. One more thing, should I replace my deck on my civic or stick with it? It seems fine to me,but others have told me to replace it to make it sound better perhaps? Well, I just want to know which one is better and is the better bang for the buck. Thanks guys.
judging from your past, i would say get the kappas. and they must have an amp to them ofcourse. should be enough to make your ears bleed lol. get a 4 channel amp, and get components up front that have tweeter and woofer, that way you can run all four front and rear off the same amp.
Well, I was playing with the infinity components and the type r components at best buy today and the infinity sounds crisper than the alpine. I was considering the type X components but heard that infinity speakers sound better. I'd say go with the kappa's but if you got the money, get the kappa perfects thats what I'm about to order.
I have Alpine Type R's 2-way's all the way around...sounds amazing......I used to have Infinity Kappa 3 way's all the way around in my volvo...they sound amazing too....lol.....im sure this doesnt help....but they are both great speakers.....its just a matter of personal choice. I chose Alpine this time because I got both sets for speakers for $170, which is a steal for 3 years ago.
i have type r coaxils getting 100rms each. they have a .75" spacer. They are incredibly clear, clean, and enough bass. Pure accurate soundquality. Not your "Warm" sound you may or may not be looking for. I wish I had gotten components (and I will be soon) so that the vocals would be up at ear level for low volumes.
On a side note, with that muchh power going to them, or if i turn the amp up, the speaker excursion after a certain point actually hits the door panel.
my set up

Woo.
I have infinity kappas in my ride, so I'm going to have to vouch for them. Whatever you do, just make sure you run a seperate amp for the speakers, it'll sound a lot better that way.
I sell these units every day as my high end choices... Id say if ur lookin for a crystal clear sound go for the infinity KAPPAS, but if your wanting the loudest possible, the Alpine type R's have a higher RMS Wattage than the Infinitys. Me personally right now i own the infinity reference component fronts and ref 6 by 9 in the rear. Soon will be upgraded to the ininity kappa components.
thats what I'm about to order.
