Clean, Clear sound at a great price

Clean clear sound... these speakers have a low RMS and Peak power need which makes them play well wired directly to a decent deck..I love Fosgate always a good value for great performance.. I build custom systems and use Fosgate quite a bit.

Good speakers

I bought these to replace my blown factory speaker's. They sound really good on my kenwood kdc-x596 reciever. Bass is what you would expect from a 6 1/2 speaker. Only complaint I have is the tweeter is to high it should have been a half inch lower it hit's my door panel.

great value for the money

Installed these in my 2001 Impala to replace the blown factory speakers. I have a HD Kenwood HD552u head unit pushing 22watts (rms) driving them. The tweets on these scream and the woofer can hold decent bass. Great replacement speaker to just run off of the head unit.

Good value for the sound

Rockford is a good brand, and these speakers are good for the money. They are clear, good mids, but don't expect bass with 50$ door speakers. The $50 range you can buy a lot of speakers, but with these you get Rockford reliably. I would recommend if your just getting rid of crappy factory speakers!!

Wow!

Moving from stock speakers on a 2008 Silverado to these is a stunning difference. The sound quality is there, the definition is there, and the classic Rockford Fosgate quality is there! Wired these speakers to an Alpine deck @18W RMS to each (no amp) and they are LOUD. I can turn them up less than halfway and it starts to hurt my ears. I can go up to 3/4 volume with no distortion. Excellent value from SonicElectronix.com
