Quick question, which is better for the price??

Here is the conditions:

92 Caprice
Sony Mobile ES Head (C850)
17X4 (supposedly RMS) to power them.
4X6s in the doors, 6X9s in the rear deck.
Can cross them over where-ever needed, RF XLC 12s for subs.

Which would sound better?
RF 4X6s and 6X9s (the less expensive 3 ways)
or
BA CX.7 and CX.9 (the lower model coaxs)

The BAs are just a little more expensive (about $40-50 total), will I really notice a difference?

Listening preferences, everything, except classical and very little country.

Thanks for you help.

I don't sell the BAs, but the RFs have virtually killed all sales of all other coaxials in our store.
I would still cut the door for a 6.5 up front....

And that's the bottom line, cuz:

I have to agree with Dukk, cut the doors for the 6.5" up front. RF coaxes sound better than just about any other coax at the same price point.

STILL waiting to hear a GOOD pair of HLCD's!!

If it dont fit, force it... if it breaks, it needed to be replaced anyway...
