These speakers are a wonderful addition to any car stereo system.
these are what you call JL's entry level speakers. i have them in the rear dash of my 200sx run by a clarion amp. they sound great. crisp highs and good lows with great mids. just gotta tune ur head unit right with ur amp. my friend has the 6 1/2" polk momo's which are about the same price in a store but that is polk's "competition" stuff. the polks do have slightly better low frequency response but i think the jl's could handle a little more power. im going to throw these in the front doors and get some xr components for the rear so i can replace my infinity tweeters. they tend to distort at slightly over moderate volume. hope the jl tweeters r better
I have a pair of these in the sound bar in my '99 wrangler and a pair of the 4 inch tr's in the dash (which are pretty much non-existent) being powered off my Kenwood Excelon and a 10w1 in the back powered by an E6450. I listen to heavy metal (Pantera, Slayer) and the highs are crisp and the mids sounds great too. Extremely sastified with these, highly recommended for a first time buyer who wants great results without spending too much money. Going to buy another pair of these speakers and install them in the doors so I can turn some more heads. Despite the fact that my music is being produced solely by the 6 and a halfs I'm receiving numerous compliments from friends and complete strangers.
I have these in my 01 nissan and pretty much drown out my door speakers that have infinity refereces. i listen to death metal and these give great sound with just my alpine cd player. Time to order another pair soon, a must buy!
