nice lil speakers

Used these in a custom install in a convertible. Decent midbass and crisp highs. Didn't take too much power either.

Great Product

Very good product sounds good the only bad thing about it is that it will hurt your hearing! Recommend this product!

iiiight

I bought these to replace busted factory speakers...They sound good...I probably have to many watts going to them but they haven't busted yet.

Now I did blow the 6x9's RF's but these 6 1/2s are doing just fine loud-n-clear...

pros: they are cheap and quality. (RF's)

con: foam surround not as duraible as rubber

Great Sound !

For the price, these are very good value. Very clear mid range and good highs. The bass is good for a speaker this size.

Good speakers for the price

Not bad speakers but my old Alpines that I had in my Jeep Wrangler sounded better. I replaced the stock door speakers in my Scion Tc with these because they were inexpensive. Overall, I'm pretty happy with them. On a side note, get the RF tweeters if you need some. They are amazing. I got a pair for some more treble and they are great.

Great Speakers!

I had these speakers for roughly 2 months and they still scream! These are some of the best speakers I have ever owned. Even without them being Amped, they scream. I put them on my Rockford Fosgate R-150.2 which powers my subs for a few months, and they sound so MUCH Clearer! Will never buy another brand again.

Ok, but not spectacular.

Definitely the "budget" line for RF. Not much bass and way too much treble. I ended up replacing them with 2-way Polk's instead. Spend a little bit more and get better quality speakers.

Unsure

I bought these along with a pair of MB Quarts... They seemed like the best bang for the buck replacement speakers for my girls 94 civic. Once I got the old ones out and was ready to install these. I realized both the Rockfords and MBs were too deep to fit in the stock locations and the speaker frames were even too large to easily slide into these same locations. So in the end my cheapest option was to trade them at the flea-market for some shallow mount Pioneers that fit just right with no modification but sound like a**!

All in all I wish I had read the size specs on these speakers and measured twice before ordering them without mounting rings or something. They would have really screamed nicely off my 4-chan... But whatevs, its my girls car and she cant tell the difference in sound either way :/
