GOOD PRODUCT

The following review is for CTM, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Super thick and easy to install. Noticeable difference and reasonably priced. 5 stars

What a difference

The following review is for CTM, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I came across this while looking for something to get rid of the rattle in my trunk. I bought it and when I opened my package, immediately knew it was of good quality. its thick and stuck well wherever I placed it and it made a noticeable difference. The rattling is gone and my JL Audio W3 sounds much deeper and louder. Thanks Sonic!

Simply amazing!

The following review is for C5-653, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Let's start with the alphabet:
A is for amazing,
B for brillliant,
C for can't get enough.
Get the point that the beautiful girl sitting beside you will look like Alice Cooper (mascara running) in minutes after playing Moody Blues' Gold, track 15, second CD.
Physically they don't look all that impressive but looks can be deceiving. Been in car audio for 30 years: car '91 Jetta - door/dash pods; C5-650 in rear; amps Phoenix Gold EX 4600.
Got the last set (haha). Sonics is the greatest. No brainer - get emmm!

Jl review

The following review is for C5-653, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Its a good sounding setup if you have the proper install. If you dont have speaker pods or a made box design dont waste your money. If you have proper install these things are amazing. Lacks a little bit in mid bass but i have a 4,000 watt rms system. The 2 sets i have almost keep up with 4 12 in jlW7-AE. Heed my warnings on install! Otherwise jl is awesome!
