In the past JVC products were not really all that great for people who know what I'm talking about but their recent products in the past few years I must admit they turned around their company and now make products in my opinion pretty close in quality for a lot less compared to even the more brand name expensive products (kicker, alpine, kenwood, ect.) which because of now I am a fan of JVC. I put these 6X9's in the back of my 03 Honda Accord LX. I now had these in for about a week now and the sound quality at first I noticed immediately is multiple times cleaner compared to my stock speakers. Honestly for 39.00 you can't go wrong with these. I also own a JVC Arsenal kd-a815 deck and these two together are a pretty darn good combo. I don't know how they will hold up against time because I only had them for about a week but my initial response are that I am very pleased with my purchase, they are clean and are decently loud. For only 60rms max each these suckers get pretty loud considering they don't need an amplifier. I would recommend these to anyone on a budget or just looking to greatly enhance the sound quality of their ride that won't empty their wallet in doing so.
