The power and full sound and a great price i would tell anyone whos looking to get a set of these. The treble is a bit intense so you turn the treble into the negative which sounds ridiculous I know but it works and they get super loud and keep there clarity.

I just purchased this product. arrived on schedule. If you notice on the box there are some typo's that definitely shouldn't be there. one saying "grass fiber" instead of "glass fiber", equalizer is misspelled and component is misspelled. there was no paperwork in the box (user manual, etc) but idk if there is supposed to be any. I called JVC and they confirmed this product but it was only based on the assembly sticker "made in china" basically because there is no part # number or model number on any parts of the product. ...although that is all very discouraging, don't feel ripped off. even if they are knock-offs, they are some of the best built i've ever seen. the T3 chassis is legit, the crossover is well made. sanpoprene surround and gold plated terminals. knock-off or not, thats a good speaker for the price.. i will post another review once they are installed.

*don't take in account the "Durability" or "Ease or Use" ratings. like i said i haven't tested them.
