do the high end speakers look kinda crappy. Granted they put performance above appearance but it's just strange to see something like Seas woofers resemble something out of a wal mart stereo.

Actually now that I look again, the seas high end stuff IS pretty.
But there are PLENTY of "pretty" high end speakers.
Focal
Dynaudio
Rainbow
to name a few.
The revelator doesn't have a blingy cast basket, but it hardly looks low rent. (aside from the terminals.)

Looks have exactly nothing to do with sound quality. In car audio circles, generally the more attractive something is the worse it performs. Many of the things companies do to make drivers cosmetically attractive are exactly the things that hurt performance. Subs are an excellent example.

I've alwasy been curious about the wave guides Alpine introduced in 03 (could be wrong on the dates) The look cool yes, but do they hurt performance?
