Installed in the rear doors of a VW that had two way components from the factory. The speakers fit in the factory locations with minimal behind the panel modifications. I had to make 1.5" thick adapters for the woofers. These speakers sound incredible. I am also running a pair of C5-653's in the front - even more impressive. I'm using a JL HD900 amp and running a single JL 10W7AE sub. Without a doubt, the best sounding car stereo I have had. Super clean and accurate. Plenty loud too!

First off, I am depth limited by the 2011 Subaru WRX doors, so it ruled a lot of other drivers out of the equation without severe customization. The tweeter dropped right into the stock location with very little effort and the woofer only took a 3/4" spacer to fit in the door. Based on these limitations, I don't think a better set of components exists on the market! Another plus is that I love the way they sound.

The tweeters are excellent with really clear highs while the woofers do a solid job of the mids. I would recommend these to anyone. However to get the most out of these you should consider an amp and sub woofer in addition.



Pros: Excellent highs, clarity

Cons: May be slightly pricey for some

I bought these speakers and could not be happier! I actually replaced the Bose speakers that my car came with and the sound quality is unmatched IMO. Of course I prefer JL so I may be biased. ;) I'd recommend these to anybody.
