Customer Testimonial

Sonic Electronix Inc. is the only e-commerce car audio retailer that I would buy products from. I do not understand why other consumers would purchase anything from any other store. Sonic Electronix is on top.

nice speakers, great for the price. I am very satisfied with their performance, the only draw back is their lack of bass, but paired with a sub they would be excellent. awesome mids and highs, would buy again.

Speakers sound excellent installed in rear doors of chevy blazer running off an Alpine 40 watt older amp these things crank. just bringing them past the break-in point, have had about 35-40% power and they produce a crisp but deafening soundfield throughout the cab. I listen to it all but you can really take advantage of the 4 way with techno or metal i swear these speakers allow you to hear like a fourth dimension on an album or song you thought you knew every beat too, specifically in the drums and back-up guitar area. i am replacing a set of alpine type S and the increase in sound with the pioneers is more then i expected i will be purchacing more pioneer speakers soon from sonicelectronix.com they ship fast and you know what your getting

I have a pair of these speakers installed in a custom made console in my car and they sound great hooked up to an amp that's not too powerfull but strong enough to get all of the potential out of them. I would definately recomend these for anyone wanting good quallity sounding speakers for their car without having to spend an unreasonable amount of money.
