Customer Testimonial

Sonic Electronix gave me great order support and fast shipping. I called and stated my vehicle type and the model of the nav unit i wanted to install and they gave me every part i needed to order for the install. This saved me a lot of time trying to research all of the parts myself.

Installed these in my 2001 Impala to replace the blown factory speakers. I have a HD Kenwood HD552u head unit pushing 22watts (rms) driving them. The tweets on these scream and the woofer can hold decent bass. Great replacement speaker to just run off of the head unit.

I bought these to replace my blown factory speaker's. They sound really good on my kenwood kdc-x596 reciever. Bass is what you would expect from a 6 1/2 speaker. Only complaint I have is the tweeter is to high it should have been a half inch lower it hit's my door panel.

Rockford is a good brand, and these speakers are good for the money. They are clear, good mids, but don't expect bass with 50$ door speakers. The $50 range you can buy a lot of speakers, but with these you get Rockford reliably. I would recommend if your just getting rid of crappy factory speakers!!

Moving from stock speakers on a 2008 Silverado to these is a stunning difference. The sound quality is there, the definition is there, and the classic Rockford Fosgate quality is there! Wired these speakers to an Alpine deck @18W RMS to each (no amp) and they are LOUD. I can turn them up less than halfway and it starts to hurt my ears. I can go up to 3/4 volume with no distortion. Excellent value from SonicElectronix.com
