these are both 5 1/4 speakers
the pioneer ts-g13117
or
fosgate hpc2205
they both put out 120watts.
butthe pioneer says 4 wit that funny circle thing
and the fosgate says 4 ohms
i'm thinking that the funny circle thing means the same as ohms.
but i noticed that the fosgate has a bigger magnet and the pionner has a smaller one, does that matter.

An idea would be to scout ebay. Infinity 5.25" speakers always are on there for a decent price. And Infinity makes some damn good sounding speakers.

Just a thought.

In the entry level speaker point I've always liked the Pioneers so that would be my by default. But seeing how you already have them in your hot little hands, why not install them both and find out which ones you really like the most? That is the best way to decide. "what sounds better" is a VERY subjective question as everyone has their own idea of what sounds "good".

As for putting out 120 watts... that is their peak music power handling... so a little 30 to 75 watt amp should be sufficient to run them.

Now about size of magnet... size does matter... to a point. The magnet is basically the motor of the speaker but you have to take into account design and what its made of.

and lumina_kid, no speaker PUTS OUT any power, they can handle that amount of power being given to them.
