Great Speakers |

I have used Boston Accoustics Pro Series separates, MB Quart Reference Pro Seperates, and JL VR Series separates. However, these are the best sounding speakers I have ever heard. But they are quite ineffcient and require LOTS of power. I have them bi-amped: the midbass drivers are being driven by a vintage Rockford Fosgate 225.2 (112.5 RMS X 2, 550 watts maximum) and the tweeters are being driven by a 50 watt X 2 RMS amp.
I have heard some complain about these speakers distorting and I would say to ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE you are not using enough power. I have cranked my Alpine HU to ear-bleeding volumes and have yet to hear an ounce of distortion. Basically, these speakers are incredible. But you MUST have TONS of power to drive them. I would NEVER recommend replacing stock speakers and using any kind of (stock or aftermarket) head unit to drive them. When selecting an amp to drive them, I would certainly not use any amp less than 100 watts X 2 RMS. 150 watts X 2 RMS (600 watts max) would be perfect.
For all of you who have bought these and are not satisfied (especially if you are hearing distortion), GET A POWERFUL AMP!! Once you do, you will posses the most powerful 6.5" drivers you have ever heard. Until I heard these speakers, I did not think it was possible to get THIS MUCH BASS from a 6.5" driver. The tweeters sound WONDERFUL as well.

Great Value for the Price |

I just bought four of these to replace the factory speakers in a 94 Saturn SL 2.
The installation was great with the free help and installation guide from Crutchfield, and it improved the sound considerably. You cannot find anything close for the price to install in your car. These have a great Bass response from the factory radio, and it seems that the top end is really clean with the 2 way tweeters.
I was somewhat skeptical at first, but feel we got a great value for this price and manufacturer.

I bought these speakers to replace the stock ones in my 1997 Toyota 4Runner and I must say that I am kind of disappointed. I had them professionally installed with dampener with a set of SPR-13C speakers in the rear doors. The stock speakers sounded just as good if not better. These offer a bit more bass but a lot more distortion. I use a 600 watt 4 channel amplifier to power both front and back speakers. They put out decent volume but if I turn it up, they have a hard time producing clear bass. Maybe I need to check the crossovers and amp settings but as of right now I can say for sure that I am not too satisfied about spending the money to upgrade from stocks.

Excellent Speaker |

Placed these in my '01 Honda Accord. The woofers fit nicely with a 1/2" spacer. I cut holes for the tweeter just above the woofers, since the factory location on the dashboard for the tweeters wasn't optimal.
Compared to the Polk Momo's I had in my last car, these are excellent speakers. The sound if very natural, and there are no problems with the volume.
My only complaint would be the tweeters: at first, they were ear-bleedingly bright. But the crossover has a jumper that allows you to attenuate the tweeter in -2db increments down to -8db. Once they were at -8db, the sound evened out and they sound like they should.

I installed these in a 2001 silverado and they are better than factory thats
for sure. The only thing i don't like is when you turn em up pretty far to like
a jam out they get crackly and sound weird...... idk whats wrong but i
figured i would have eliminated the cackling sound when i got these. I
dont see how any one could amp them because it seems the truck itself
over powers them. my head unit is a clarion DXZ 725, its 50W by 4 so thats
nothing rediculous......
