been told by a car audio place that buying some type E custom fit component speakers instead of type R components will be far better, and the type Rs would be distorted and fuzz and get worse as the volume got higher, but the type Es would give wicked sound and not distort even at top volume. they would be run off the pioneer DEH-P80MP, which is 60w

what do you reckon to this lads views?

well in that case, get the alpine type-s custom fit comps. I have them and they ran off my HU for a good while and sounded fine.

or the type e as u say, either would be fine.

well the type S are meant to be better, a nicer tweeter etc.., but tbh neither will set the world on fire so just go for the cheapest one, i.e. type E
