Picking out Highs...
Hey guys,
I need to get some highs for my 91 RS Convertable. I already have a set of Q-Forms kick panels & a Pioneer DEH-P7600MP. I havent decided on if I am going to amp the highs or not. (I probably will eventually) Since this car is a convertable, I need to get some highs that will get pretty loud but say clean. I have never had Alpine Highs before, but I have heard good things about them. I was thinking about getting a set of 5 1/4" Components up front & a pair of 6X8's for the rear. Bass will be provided by an Audiobahn Alum10Q. What do you guys think of Alpine highs? They are pretty well priced. (That makes me worry) My 2nd choice is the same setup but with Boston Acustics highs. They cost quite a bit more, but I KNOW they sound amazing.
Tell me what you think...

I've been impressed with most of the alpine speakers I've heard. Their new Type X components use a variation of Vifa's Ring Radiator tweeter, and this seems to be a very popular tweeter.
I'd also look into Resonant Engineering's RE series if you can fit a 6.5" woofer.

Definately get an amp. Running comps off a deck wont get really loud and sound good. The Type Xs are really good.
