Power Acoustik XP-60C

Eh, You Can Do Better

I was looking to replace some old Kenwood coaxials with something that could handle a bit more power so I decided to take a chance on a new product and got these. I've had em for about a month now getting about 80 watts a piece from an MB Quart ONX4.80 and they definitely handle the power with no problems whatsoever so far as they can be turned up to full volume without any signs of distortion.

But I have to say I'm not very impressed. The silk tweets lack clarity and aren't nearly as smooth and natural sounding as some other lower end tweeters I've heard and they do get kind of harsh at loud volumes. They were also very very quiet for a week or two and then they finally warmed up. Never heard of having to break in a tweeter before but whatever.

The mids are just alright. They sound good, but once again they lack clarity. They do look cool but I'm pretty sure that convex cone design probably isn't very good for the sound. The midbass is disappointing (thank God for subs) and the plastic insert on the grille broke off as soon as i took them out of the box.

The crossovers are pretty simple but they do have adjustable tweeter attenuation (0dB, -3dB, -6dB) which they don't advertise so that was a pleasant surprise.

They were a pretty cheap set so wasn't expecting much but these just lack the kind of clarity that I was expecting from even a lower priced comp set. I will probably replace them with higher end comps within a month or two. In this price range you can probably do a little better.

is great

I really recommend this product because it works great an gives a good look to your ride

Yep, their junk

After hooking these bad boys up, I ended up still using the stock tweeters in my Jaguar X-type (not hooked up to the crossover of course) but continued to use the mid-woofer with this kit. Usually, even a slight upgrade sounds superior to stock, but not in this instance.
I have since upgraded, again, and found happiness in my new Polk Audio 650Dxi's
