Default Coaxial or Component

I have narrowed down my choices of amps and speakers for my bagger to the Arc Audio 125.2 BX Mini and the Hertz speakers 6.5. Now the question is........Is there that much of a difference between coaxial and componenets on a bagger. I was looking at the dash tweeter kit from hawg wired .......your thoughts ....

Generally speaking, component speakers will always out perform coaxial speakers any day. The difference is worth the money, alot better seperation and cleaner sound from any component compared to the coaxials.

I have the tweeter pod added to my setup and it makes a difference. Mainly because the tweeters are positioned higher and not obstrubted by the mirrors and brake resevior.
