Bought these over the pioneers which i usually buy. The lower bass frequency handling was the major reason for purchasing these, also bought a new JVC CD player. The speakers are great at reasonable levels however by turning the deck to dynamic sound or different songs, there must be a frequency that the speakers just make noise until i turn down the volume. Don't know if its the speakers or need some duramat soundproofing for vibration.
