They are both pretty good. Id spend an extra 15 bucks and get some polk adios, There tweeters are crystal clear and sound awesome, you wont regret them.

I'd go memphis or mtx. Either have great sound quality and are less expensive.

That sounds like a good set up to me. Alpine makes a really nice sounding speaker and kicker makes a killer sub that hits hard. And all at a reasonably cheap price.

You will never get the correct answer, only opinions. I like Polk Audio.

Im an alpine fan. I have an alpine head unit and I plan on changing all my speakers to Alpine S. Good speakers are important but a quality head unit is even more important. A good head unit can make crapy speakers sound good but good speakers cant make a crapy head unit sound good.

X2. I had a pioneer head unit w Sony speakers and they sounded crappy. Changed over to an Alpine head unit and all of a sudden my crappy speakers sounded way better.

Ive got a sony xplode head unit with Bluepunkt 6.5" door speakers, sounds pretty decent untill you run a high amount of drum and bass through it at high volume

ive been running my panasonic head unit polk audio door speakers and a set of boston G2 12s, (subs) i can turn it as loud as i can stand and you can hear every word, it hit a 151db at the car show i went to, ot has the best sound quality outta any other set uo ive had, kicker makes a good sub but, i think you lose sound quality they hold together and hit i just feel they distort the music at higher volume
