Alpine Type R components vs. Type S

Im talking about the 6.5" component set....are they worth the extra bucks....will I notice a big enough difference....

I would like the opinions of people who have heard both...the type r's are rated at 75rms and the type s are rated at 50rms....I heard a lot of good things about the type s though....plus it comes with the adaptor for our cars

Type R will let you run more watts. Sound is close but you can tell the difference when you put the right amount of watts on them.

my amp would be putting just a little over 50W rms...since the type s' are rated at 50rms, should I go with them instead of the r's, since I would be underpowering them...

OR...

I can bridge the amp (Alpine V12 MRV-F540), and put out about 140W rms x 2 at 12V to let say the Type X's or R's and hook up the stock rear speakers to my deck, it puts out about 22W rms if I can remember, and I believe our stock rear speakers handle about the same rms....

if I go with this scenerio, should I get the type X's...I just dont wanna spend the extra money and it wont be worth it...

I really want good mid bass
