Hifonics Zeus ZXi 683

Guess I spoke too soon...

This is a follow-up review I replaced my 4 doors with these in March 2010. It's now October 2010. I recently upgraded 4ch amp to Pioneer GM-D9500F. CEA compliant 75 W RMS... and now one of the fronts is becoming blown. I used the HPF on my deck to raise it up a bit (100Hz) so less mid-bass getting sent to the 4ch's and this has helped buy me some time. It's a shame too because I liked the sound and output of these. Guess they overrated them a bit.

great product

I wrote a review before but i was totally wrong.. these speakers are great. they just sounded bad because i was underpowering them.. if you dont have a amp or powerful head unit to push them they will distorat.. so i have a soundstorm amp and after i hooked them up they sounded amazing!!

it was good

they are very good speakers and they are very loud.

Loud and clean

I have a pair of these in the doors of my 06 mustang GT amped and they are loud. They were somewhat loud of the head unit but you expect more from them. Amped, they are just as clean as JL but louder. They also have the cool light feature that goes along with the song, but I don't use it.

Good Highs and mids

I have had these for six months or so and have them running through a Hifonics HFi55.4 amp (55 watts rms x4 at 4 ohms) and they sound great. the only problem I have is my amp heating up when I crank them up and making them sound washy But that is NOT a speaker problem at all. They look good, sound good, and have lasted through the punishment I have given them. The only thing I would say is they are not so hot in a bass department they are pretty much meds and highs.

Pretty nice

I like these speakers. I got 4 of them them for my 98 crown vic and they work fine, however, I have The Hifonics HFi55.4 Amp powering them, also I've kind of babied my system by using a great amp kit and capacitor. Bottom line, if you take care of these speakers they'll take care of you.

Great Product

I would recommend this product because they work just as described.

They're the Real Deal!

I ordered a set of these for my front doors to replace some blown Pioneer TS-A6872R (I was never impressed with the Pioneer's BTW). I instantly noticed much improved sound quality and quantity with these so I went right back and ordered 2 more for my rear doors. Put those in today and now I know what the missing element was in why I wasn't quite 100% happy with my system as a whole... it was the previous door speakers being all worn-out and distorted.

and at just under $50 bucks shipped right to my door the very next day (both times I might add) it's a total no-brainer.

BTW.. I'm powering these with an SSL F4.400 rated @ 50 watts RMS so these things surely would perform even more with a better quality amp. And that would have to be redonkulously loud 'cause it's already damn skippy! ;}

good

bought these to replace some factory speakers in a 06 mustang, much better sound quality, they also seem to get louder on the factory head unit than the old ones... the lights are a little silly but you don't have to hook them up... overall very good

ok speakers

these speakers are ok. it cant handle my radio. i have a 200 watt dual cd/usb/aux radio in my car. once i get past probably 30 they start getting distorted. but if ya was powering these speakers with a factory radio then they would be fine. the bass on these speakers are very good thought
