As a Canadian, I was looking for the best deal shopping in Canada for these component sets. My first quote was $279 CDN, next quote from C********* for $220 CDN, then went to Ebay and found these through Sonic for $99!! Even with the shipping I was still ahead of the game. Anyhow, so I decided to buy 2 sets of components for my 2000 Jetta. I replaced my existing stock speakers with these, juiced them with a 5 channel Alpine PDX-5 amp at about 120 Watts per channel and they are nothing short of incredible. Sweet, silky highs and great mid range. The fifth channel on the amp is a dedicated mono channel for a 10" nakamichi sub and my HU is an Alpine X001 connected to my ipod.

The only thing during installation, I couldn't use the provided spacers, I had to buy those separately.

The only negative I can say is I have to be so cautious with my hearing. I'm finding, with no distortion at loud levels, and such incredible dynamic range, I'm always cranking my stereo up to dangerous levels.

For this price you simply can't go wrong!
