ALPINE SPR-17S or Polk Audio MMC5250
Alpine type-R (SPR-17S) or Polk Audio MMC5250 which would you choose? They seem pretty similar. And dont tell me Rainbow.
Im thinking about doing type r's all around...coaxials in the rears, components in the fronts
or should i even bother with the rears?

They are fairly similar. I've run a lot of Polk MOMOs and been pretty happy with them. Fair warning, though, they take a lot of power to sound good. If you run them off of a HU you will wish you stayed stock...but blast them with 150rms and they scream and sound great.
I used to run a single pair of MOMO 6x9s in my Ranger with (3) 12w6v2s and the first comment I usually got was not how insane the bass was (which it was), but how "clean" it sounded. When I told people I only had 1 pair of speakers they all called BS until I showed them my rear speakers consisted of polyfill

Because then it will be a component set. And the 6.5s will have more midbass then the 5.25s.
Ok these should be a good match for you.
If you want your friends to have spks in their ears or ever plan on doing surround sound for DVDs then I reccommend rear spks. But if not one set is plenty.

Sounds good. Im debating whether to get the mmc650s or just pull the trigger on the rainbows. yes the rainbows are better but yes they are more expensive.
Do the 650s come with tweeters and crossovers?
