Was wondering if anyone knows which 6.5s would sound better. by better i mean the most Clarity at High & Loud volumes, without alot of distortion, the Alpine Type R's or the JL audio C2s 

Chances are good you'd be able to find both of those locally at some shops to demo.  Those are both pretty popular brands.  Not an ideal situation but better to hear them for yourself.

 

There isn't enough information available to give a highly informed recommendation.  I like that Alpine uses a split-gap motor design to linearize Bl over excursion and a shorting ring inside the motor.....off of no other information I would probably lean the way of the Alpine's but again your ears may tell you something different.

Yes i have a buddy of mine who owns a shop, he swears by JL  but he know how i like my music, and i heard them both in store on a simple head unit, mine will be on a pioneer avic z2 and alpine mrx-f35. so hearing them in there i couldnt get a good feel for them like i wanted. wanted to see some 2nd opinions. same for 6x9s, also im unsure of what hz to have them at for that alpine amp, and the eq on the radio.
