Both are decent entry level speakers. You should go to a local shop that has these speakers on a demo soundboard and listen to them for yourself. I personally like the Rockford Fosgate T1 sound over the Bostin SC-85. In my opinion the rockford speakers had better and smoother midrange and tweeter response than the bostons. If you buy Rockford, get them from an authorized Rockford dealer. They have a great warrantee on them.
