I had pioneer with titanium kevlar cones in my last car, and they performed a treat.

the Type S are cheaper than the Type R, the Type R are supposed to be the next model up from the Type S but i have owned both the R and S components and personally found the type S to be better, but thats my opinion.

There small diameter speakers. Your prob killing them as your running them into distorsion at low frequencies. Best to highpass filter them with a very steep slope so they are not running below there resonant frequeny at high power and add a sub to the system to cover the low stuff.
