I have no idea which one would be better. One seems to have a higher rms while the other has a higher peak watt.

Kicker Specs:
4 Ohm Impedance
65W RMS / 130W peak power handling
40-20 KHz Frequency Range
90 dB Sensitivity
3/4" Aluminum Dome Tweeter
6-3/4" Polypropylene woofer with Santoprene Surround
Includes two enclosures and one pair of drivers

Polk Specs:
4 Ohm Impedance
60W RMS / 150W peak power handling
25-22KHz Frequency Range
92 dB Sensitivity
Liquid cooled 3/4" Silk/Polymer Dome Tweeter
6-3/4" Composite woofer with Butyl Surround
Includes two enclosures and one pair of drivers

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

In my personal opinion the RMS wattage is what you want to go with. To me thats what counts the most because thats the continuous wattage that the speaker can handle. Thats just always what I have went by.

I agree with lowcashfireman, about the rms being what you need to look at, thats what i have always went by to, not just how much the peak power is, but I am a fan of the polk audio speakers. They are all I have in my truck and man I love them. I have had quite a few different sets of sppeakers in there including kicker, and the polk speakers just sound SOOOO much better. The sound quality is just amazing, you hear things in songs you never knew were there, the sound is just so clear, and LOUD.
