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.

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.
