I have owned 4 of these for around 4 years and am not as satisfied as most people that reviewed these!! First off these speakers need a 4 channel amp regardless of what your head unit is pushing. For 3 years i ran these without one. They do sound very crisp on the highs , but as for any bass/lows at all, there is none!! NONE at all!!! I am running these on a Kenwood KVT-717DVD head unit which is 50wattsx4. No bass at all out of these. I never really was concerned about it till i blew my Kenwwod 10" sub. I was not expecting anything great bass wise out of them but no bass at all, COME ON!!! I bought a 4channel jl amp (for way to much mind you) that is 400wattsx4 and now I am pleased. They sound amazing with a little juice running to them!! I also replaced my sub with a 10" Eclipse recently, WOW. I love Eclipse Audio f'ing slams. Have to turn off the bass somtimes cause I cant see straight!

I love JL Audio dont get me wrong but if my expieriences can help someone before they make this purchase then I will be as honest as possible. They are good speakers just get a freaking amp or you may be dissapointed like i was!! By the way these are at a very resonable price considering I paid 400+ for 4, 4 years ago,LOL!!!

If you just want a good sounding set of speakers you dont have to get an amp for then thesae are not them. Go cheaper and you will be more satisfied for sure.

These speakers are average......rattle a bit with the bass.
