Well, I've got the Pioneer 6x8 plate component speakers in my truck.

The components sound a bit brighter due to the Titanium tweeters as opposed to the soft domes on the Pioneers.

There's no comparison at all with bass response. The Attitude woofers trounce the Pioneers (even though they're hooked up to a HU while the Pioneers are being pushed by an MTX amp).

From what my ears can tell, mids are roughly the same. But, I haven't got equipment which lets me adjust the mids on either system.

I'd rate the components about the same as or maybe a bit better than some of the mid level components (Polk EX's - not dB/dX's, Pioneers, KW's, Infiniti - not Kappa's).

They're definately better than any coaxial 6x8/5x7 I've heard.

Hopefully, I can get the Focals installed in my Tour (the "cheap" components are in my wife's Miata) and get the amp installed in the Miata sometime this week/weekend. Then, I can make some comparisons to the Focals.

Anyways, it's all just my own opinion. I'm sure that other ears might disagree. Maybe APT can get the woofers and put 'em in his Tour? You're running the same tweet and x-over with the stock speak as the woofer, right? wink
