What's great about it: component speakers
What's not so great: non existant lows and muffled mids
Originally had another pair of speakers installed in a 2012 Jeep Wrangler to replace the factory speakers. Both tweeters in previous speakers blew so returned to best buy to replace those. The speakers I was replacing were component Pioneer speakers. Best Buy did not have the speakers so I had to chose an alternate. At the time, the Best Buy did not have the Kenwoods on display to hear, but I had no chose due to price. I ended up paying an extra 40 dollars for the speakers (that was the difference between the old and new). When I drove the Jeep home, I couldnt really hear the speaker quality because I had the top off. When I returned home, I replaced the top to check sound. I have to say, these are the worst speakers I have ever paid for. The base is muffled and soft. The mids are also mixed in the woofer and the tweeter. While I think the highs are great, the rest of the sound is a disappointment to say the least. I would say the original styrofoam stock speakers had better base and clearer mids than these speakers. Even my wife made a comment on how bad the speakers sounded. While the Jeep isnt exactly the best vehicle for sound, these speakers are not worth half of what they retail. This is the 3rd set of speakers we have installed, and this was easily the worst.

What's great about it: Looks clean, highs sound loud and tight
What's not so great: no bass, what-so-ever. crackle in the tweeters
I bought these components to go with a Kenwood deck. Install only took an hour but was poor quality. Cd player tilts to one side and can see through to inside the dash. Plus, read the yellow sheet before you sign after they are finished installing. I have tried every setting on the cd player and can't get these speakers to produce bass that sounds good. The radio actually has more bass than any cd i have listened to. I have only had these speakers a week and there is already a crackle in the passenger tweeter. Don't know if they were hooked up wrong or are just a poor product design. My last system cost over $2,000. I had Infinity Reference components that totally blew me away. Guess i got spoiled. Taking the components back this weekend for a refund.

What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: Tweeter Wires are TOO short, No Speaker Cable Provided
So I purchased these speakers to replace my old Pioneer cheap speakers i had in my front doors. After mounting the tweeters on my door (wired at -2db) and fine tuning the equalizer and frequencies on my stereo, these things scream! Highs and Mids hit hard, loud, and clear! There is no distortion at high volumes at all! The lows/bass on these are surprisingly "punchy" very good, also no distortion at all when properly configured on your amp or stereo. (I am powering these speakers with my Kenwood In-dash Head-Unit, i am sure these things sounds even better with an external amp). The build quality is very solid on the Crossover Box, Woofer, and Tweeter. As far as the extra low Bass no 6.5inch speaker is going to produce that type of sound. Therefor a subwoofer "may" be recommended depending on the sound you are looking for.
Just for comparison, my friend has the Alpine Type R Components (also powered by his In-dash Stereo) and i honestly could not tell that much of a difference between the two. (Now, this outcome could differ if he was using an external amp). Another friend has the Infiniti Kappa Components and the highs on the tweeters are just too brutal.
You just cannot go wrong with these speakers at this price!
I would recommend this to a friend!
