Purchased these fosgate speakers to replace the stock speakers in my civic that made me not even want to have the radio on. I've had them for about a week now and they sound great especially for the 30 dollar price tag, definitely can't go wrong.
I installed these speakers in a 2005 Toyota tundra, replacing the oem speakers and retained the oem JBL radio. First, there is an immediately noticeable drop in volume. Sensitivity is rated at 91 db, not the best, nor the worst. The highest I have seen is 93 db, for at least twice the price. Second, the sound quality took a dive. At low volume the base can be heard, mid and treble are muted, at higher volume the mid range blasts out past the base and treble. Heck, the treble is now turned to max and it's way in the back ground. These speakers are not linear at all. I was hoping for a small bump in performance but instead I am living with a sound quality that is actually lower than what the paper coned, plain jane, oem speakers delivered. Even if I put an amp in, I think these speakers would still sound bad.
Sound Great
I put these speakers in the doors of my 84 F-150 hooked to a Sony head unit at 52w per channel. I am very impressed with the quality and sound of these speakers. Will not handle a lot of db on low end range, but with the head unit i have i am able to filter out the lowest range on front and put it on my subs, and what i get is crystal clear sound at any volume i have on my deck. Even though the site said it was a direct fit, i had to make the holes in door a little bigger to accomodate these speakers. but other than that i have no complaints with them. they live up to the Fosgate name!
I absolutely love these speakers I bought 3 sets and I rock them out every day for the last 6 months
defined sound from this 3-way speakers. good performance and is very balanced. cheaper than the old speakers that I got from.
