TYPE X

[ChinoCharles]

I finally purchased the other set of speakers. I now have a set of SPX-157R's (5.25") in storage, and I just sent payment for the matching SPX-177R (6.5"). That is 4 crossovers, 4 mid drivers and 4 tweeters at 300 maximum watts a piece. FUN! This has been a long process because I am an audiophile and a lifelong Alpine fanboy, and I decided a while ago that I wanted the Type X system. It is a little pricey, though... these 6.5" components go for about $225 on Ebay. So, I've been patient and have been looking for deals. Doing well so far. A friend of mine that used to install stereos for us in high school has since received his MECA cert and now works at a Best Buy, so I may have all of this installed there. Because of the staging issues with shoving 4 tweeters into a Yaris, I would trust him over anyone. Private shops are usually a lot more expensive, too.
