Default type x-speakers?

are type x-speakers pretty good?

are these good speakers? They're type-x alpine. There's two that fit the rx300 (6.5 inches). what's the difference?

one is a "6-1/2" Mid Bass Kit"
the other is a "6-1/2" 2-Way Component"

what's the difference between 2 and 3 way component speakers?
is 75w RMS good for door speakers?

sorry for continually posting on my own wall, even without prior response, but i have many questions before i purchase my speakers this weekend. i want to assure i'm getting what i want. what's DSP? can DSP be implemented into my 99 rx300? what's analog-to-digital converters? sounds good, but could that be implemented into my car (does it have a purpose in my car)?

hahaha thanks. i've been trying, but im having a hard time finding x-type door speakers other than the alpine one's i've been talking about. is there any other x-type door speaker?

today i was looking at a pair of 2 way focal components for $799 (2 door speakers, 2 tweeters) and a pair of 2 way focal components for $499 (same amount of speakers as the other pair). the guy at the place acted like there was an unbelievable difference, however, i mustn't have the right ear or something, because i didnt hear that big of a difference!
