For the money, these are awesome speakers I first bought some a few years back when they were much more expensive, so they are a bargain now. I'm running them from a kenwood 5channel amp, 8 of these in total, wired to a 2ohm load per channel, so 2 units per channel, giving 120w rms per channel, plus a pair of JL Audio 12in subs in the boot.These give very good quality sound in general, nice deep, crisp bass, controlled midrange and decent top end, however, I have had a couple of tweeters blow on the units, but then again, I do push them hard, beyond what most people would use these for as I like testing equipment hard before recommending anything to my customers and these are pretty good, they must be, otherwise I wouldn't have had them in my personal vehicle for the past 5years, this recent set I bought are to replace a unit I've managed to pop.The thing I would suggest is to overdrive these units, or any speaker for that matter. If your speaker is rated at 60w RMS (only really pay attention to RMS. Things like PMPO, MAX etc are inflated numbers to make it look impressive) then plan to use an amplifier of minimum 60w RMS, ideally 75-100w RMS as the amp can control the speaker easier with excellent control. If you underdrive the speakers by using an amp smaller than the rated power, the amp will struggle to control the speaker at higher volumes causing clipping, and its far easier to damage a speaker from underdriving it than over driving it.
