Default RF 6.5" speakers, Punch or Power

I have swap my Sony head unit for a Pio one. I have RF amp (not mounted yet) and arc rings.

Now i have a problem, which speakers? I want RF one to match with the amp but will Power speakers are really better than Punch ones? do they really worth 50% more?

On Yaffe site, his sets are with Punch but he offer Power ones too...

I'm lost, could someone show me the way please?

I think Yaffe's speake ARE the RF "Power" series. They also sell the component speakers as an upgrade. The component models just have the tweeters and crossovers separate, not mounted on speakers. Not sure if there is a big difference on those or not.

I'm considering the RF Power series as well. I was curious as to whether or not you need the shallow mount or standard. The standard has a higher power rating and frequency range.

Smart choice, the power series is better, check JR electronics, they usually have them for a really good price.

I picked up my power 6.5"s for 70$ a pair. I'm running 2 pairs along with the power 6.5" component system on my road glide and love it

I also picked up my Power's at a good price. Can't remember exactly how much off the top of my head, I got them on Amazon. Way less expensive than Yaffe's price.
