Mainly got these because my old door speakers weren't that loud and they didn't sound that good. I wanted the component system because I got the Alpine type R 15" and I wanted to hear the mids and highs over the bass. For that purpose I got a Jensen 760.4 amp to power these. They sound very good and the mids and highs are very clear and bright, It sounds like someone is singing right at me! Of course the speakers themselves don't have too amazing of bass, but its not a problem for me since I have a sub. With this amp the speakers are able to go very loud without problems. I'd recommend these speakers to someone who doesnt want to spend a lot of money on door speakers, also I recommend an amp because they can go pretty loud! Only con is the crossovers are big, so I had to just put them under the seats instead of the door's which wasn't a problem at all.
