yeah I'm just searching for my best option since I won't be changing speakers for a long time and i don't want to blow up IF they are bad quality

From what I have seen JBL is a reputable brand.
If the tweeters do blow, it shouldn't be hard to replace them.

JBL us a pretty good brand. usually if a part goes out on them...i.e. the tweeter, you can swap it out for one you can get on ebay or something.
if you're going to listen to them at a decent volume, I'm sure you shouldn't have an issue with drivers going out on you.
Also technically they are 4-way speakers because the woofers are wired together.
