First off, keep in mind that these are some very inexpensive speakers, so I guess you can't expect a whole lot. I ordered these mostly because at the time I had a JVC head unit and a set of JVC DRVN CS-G1200 subs and these matched perfectly and look really sweet (especially with the grills on. I didn't use my stock grills with these, I used the JVC grills). After I got them in, I was a little impressed actually, these will handle a decent amount of power and put out acceptable volume. They sound very clear, definitely better than the stock speakers of my 98 Jeep Cherokee Sport. The only thing I don't like is they can't handle bass. But hey the cones are like 5 inches in diameter and they don't have much xmax so what can you expect. In my case I don't care that they can't handle bass cause I got my front speakers and a set of subs. What I ended up doing was putting in a set of bass blockers I got for like 6 bucks new. I really recommend planning on doing that, cause now they have great clarity yet I can crank the volume AND I'm free to turn up the bass on my EQ to let my front speakers and subs crank out the bass. Even if you don't have subs though, these are still great speakers for your car.



I would buy these again because they look sweet, match any color scheme, have great clarity and decent volume. I would of course recommend them to my friends as well. Just remember to spend the extra 6 bucks on bass blockers (if you can install speakers then you can install bass blockers as long as you have basic soldering skills). I don't think any other speakers brand new in this price range will sound any better, so I would not shy away from these.



I no longer have the JVC subs, I wanted to see what other brands sounded like, but I will be keeping these speakers.

Got these for a friends car that had tired old factory speakers failing her. Put these in, and they work perfectly. We all know that feeling after you hook them up and turn the radio on, its the real test, and these passed with flying colors. Perfect for running off the deck power. Great sound for 5-1/4's.
