The frequency response, distortion levels, and punch on these speakers are second to none; however, those attributes come at the cost of fidelity. I purchased a set of JBL GTO938 6X9 Speakers, and based on the reviews and relative cost, I expected the MM5251 to blow them away. I was wrong: the 938's reminded me that I purchased marine speakers. If you want maximum sound for your money, get these speakers. HOWEVER, if you're looking for a high quality sound, I recommend you look elsewhere.

There are a few better sounding speakers out there, but not many. And nothing even close to this price range. Very clean and crisp sound. You have to get creative with the tweeter mounting, but it's easy for someone with installation experience.

I would highly recommend this product.

What I like: The speakers produce accurate and clear music - they sound excellent. The highs are extremely crisp and the mids are strong, but not overwhelming. The sound quality continues into the ear-bleeding intensity levels - I have not yet heard noticeable distortion.

What I don't like: The mounting on the tweeters is not conducive to flush mounting. Neither me nor the stereo installer could find a way to flush mound the tweets, so my truck has them protruding from the dash and it looks terrible. If I had known that they would not flush mount, I would have selected an alternate brand, even through the sound is so good.

I want to say don't go cheap on your speakers, but these really aren't even that expensive. especially for how great they sound. I have these up front and a pair of 90w coaxial polk speakers in the rear powered by a 90w x 4 channel polk amp, with a pioneer deck. and i couldn't be happier with the way it sounds. crystal clear. songs literally sound better with these. I wish i could help to give a more well rounded rating by giving some cons, but i cant think of any. buy these!
