Well pioneer is probably gonna be closer to your range i would say. Just gotta look around. You may be able to find alpines and others cheaper. Don't just jump into a buy shop around a little. You will find most of them at best buy circuit city places like that but their prices are mostly not gonna be in your range all depends which ones you choose. Online you can prob find them a bit closer to your range. If your gonna go pioneer i suggest you take a trip to walmart as well because they often have some nice ones for a decent price. Sometimes best buy has speakers in sale boxes returned an stuff sitting on a table. check those out as well. But be sure to check them closely. If they have them out of the box locked in a clear case thing ask them to take them out so you can look at them. i say this because once i was gonna buy a set outta one of those boxes but made them let me look first which was a good thing because one of the cones had a big slice in it. so i say look around a bit find whats in your range with the best sound. try them all out on the sound boards with a few different songs maybe even take a cd of what you like then you can really get a feel for them and then make your decision. And watch what you buy if you go for the clear boxes at best buy if they even have any. sometimes they do sometimes they dont.
