    Jason......please tell me it isn't true you're using stock wire and no amp. Even my type-r's didn't sound nearly as good without an amp and wire upgrade. I'm telling you, get an amp and some better wiring. You won't regret it. The difference for me was night and day and I'm only running type-r coaxials.

    If you like the Type X speakers...then I would suggest a listen to the Hybrid Audio Clarus speakers....
    Similar in some aspects, but different in others. Everyones ear will be slightly different, and thats ok.

    Still worth the listen/audition.

    very true. its better to overpower than underpower in most situations. distortion kills speakers

    Especially with Alpine stuff. Very power hungry speakers.
