Excellent performance and price

If properly installed and powered, these components are amazing. The reach close to lows usually reserved for subwoofers and the mids and highs stay crisp and clean. If you need a simple replacement for your components, you can't go wrong. Even if you're looking to build a system, these speakers would be a great foundation.

great speakers for the price!

I have these in a 2005 scion tC. They're great speakers. The highs are PERFECT. Not too bright, but not to mellow. Make sure you give it the full RMS wattage or they can be a bit muddy at high volumes. overall very nice though, and very good build quality. Highly impressed and worth the money.
