the high end polks sounds pretty decent for the price. kappas are fuckin garbage imo, the blow out easily and sound harsh as hell. but remmeber, its all in the amp. if you want real clarity get a 4 channel amp to run the highs. Decks dont have enough current to make speakers sound their best. They have too much harmonic distortion.

I've got Diamond Audio HEX 5 1/4" silk components in the front and 6 1/2" HEX components in the rear with a custom baffle that I made to fill the 6x9 hole. Now I'm just working on getting the money for a custom trunk that I will be doing.

i agree with the JL components, they rock for the price. i had the lowest model TR's and they rocked. they won the 2003 best sound of show.
i dunno how they will perform off a HU but i recommend you run your components of a multi channel amp.
