We (my wife and I) like music from classical to R&B to Tool (metal) These speakers reproduce sounds you don't normally hear from headphones, ear buds, and low end speakers. Thick sound fills our car, all the tones balanced nicely, Tight bass, solid treble (not crashy, or painful/shrill), plenty of clean midrange, and all working in harmony to wash your ears with honey smooth sound.

These speakers were installed in the front door panels, paired with a pioneer DEH2200 UB deck and Pioneer TS-A1374R speakers in the rear doors. I have done many installs for myself and helped friends and by far the best sound comes from pairing like with like. Pioneer is not the loudest sound out of the box, but I am always impressed with the RANGE (37-30,000HZ! and 300watts?!?), and quality of Pioneer sound. WITHOUT AN aftermarket AMP.

Tried these in another few cars, but not so good without the pioneer deck. Paired with a kenwood, and a JVC these speakers sounded quiet and a little overblown (foggy/loose bass) and the highs were a bit shrill or piercing.
