Alpine Type R vs Kaption Audio 6.5
Hey guys,
I've been running Alpine Type R 6.5 coaxes straight off a Alpine 7827 deck. I'm looking to replace since I've blown them somehow.
Kromer is suggesting Kaption 6.5's over the Type R's (priced with $5) stating that I will get better sound (not bass though). I do have a single 10 in the trunk.
Anybody have any comments?
Thanks,
Matt

Infinity eh? Any specific model?

The kappa perfects (they might damage your wallet though).

Both are in the same league. Decent sound and power handling abilities. I would want to find out why you broke these before puchasing something else.
What is your crossover point? Are they loud enough for you or are you turning them up till it hurts them to get what you want?

I believe the crossover setting on the deck is set to 10.0 khz?

They should not blow at 18Watts. Are you sure its the speakers? Did both go or one? Maybe the front amp section of your head unit is done. And as long as your running the speakers off your deck I dont think the Kap's will sound any better then the Alpines. Now if you were running a seperate amp with 50-100Watts RMS each channel then the quality of the speakers would be a hugh issue and you would notice the difference.

Just the driver side went. It's been raining in T.O. for a couple of days so I haven't torn the door apart to find exactly what happened.
So your saying with an amp putting out more power the Kaptions would sound noticably better than Type R's? What about vs Infinity's (kappas/reference)?

Yes they would but if it where my money it would be Focal and then Infinity's for choice. Is it possible the drivers got wet inside the door due to rain. This is common. And if this is thecase you need to cure that before getting new speakers.
