Pioneer 4x6" better than Polk 4x6"?

I currently have Polk Audio EX346 4x6" in my car, and I love them! But, I just picked up a pair of Pioneer TS-A4615 speakers, and I don't know what to put in!

They both sound the same, and both pairs are in great shape. So, what ones should I put in the car? I have a Pioneer DEH-P6600 head unit, so maybe the Pioneers?

Help me make up my mind!

If they both sound the same, then why would you want to create extra work for no gain whatsoever?

1. To have everything match
2. Reliability (whichever will last longer)

Leave the polks untill they wear out. Then go buy another set of polks. Take the poineers back to walmart and get your money back.

Seriously? I don't know, maybe for the cheaper models that would be true, but after using these for a few days, I like them WAY more than the Polks!

And that is the most important aspect of speakers, is how they sound to you. If you think they sound better then the Polks then it doesn't matter what anyone else on here says.

I still like to make sure anything I do is a good idea lol

They may be lesser speakers, but they might sound better because they are matched to the Pioneer head unit. Seems like when I match stuff up brand for brand, it sounds way better!

Well, it is time to grow up and stop caring what other people think. Do what YOU want to do!

No one else can answer such a silly question ...

Funniest thing is, no one ever answered the real question! What one is of better quality, and will last longer!?
