System makerover. Which speakers

Right now I have BA S85 powered by my head unit (Z2). I would like to power my door speakers now b/t I'm torn b/t two speakers. The highest RMS on the amp that I'm looking at is 50 RMS (Here) so I would like to match the speakers.

Which one of these speakers would you say will sound better

Polk


JL

When I compare them (Here) I see the highest RMS on the Polks are 60 and the JL is 50. Given this scenario with the amp highest rms @ 50 which ones will play better. I also dont know if it will make difference now that I go from head unit powered 6x8's to amp powered 5x7's.


Thanks a million.

I just replaced my front http://www.diamondaudio.com/content/view/119/132/ 373s with some old Diamond Audio components I bought on Ebay here http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=120357132754. I did switch the alum tweeters for silk. That set cost me $120 shipped. The 373s were $125 at a local car stereo place. The components sound much better. The 373s sounded good but these comps are so much clearer. Even not cranked it sounds better.

If you're just wanting to quick swap then you're way is better. But for better sound for the same money I'd buy that set of Diamond comps. Just running new wire is all.

I was going to put these 373s in the back and run them off my rear audio fill hookup that is on my crossover. I see no reason too now. I would probably sell these 373s if you're interested. Like $90 shipped or so? ostateforlife had the 373s and swapped them for JL components. He claims to like the 373s better. https://www.f150online.com/forums/sp...my-system.html
