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.

Customer Testimonial

Called and spoke with Adam G. and he was extremely helpful and patient. He made some very good points as to product selection and kept me from ordering a couple of items that would not have worked in my application. Thanks Adam for all you assistance and SonicElectronix for your great pricing.
