Customer Reviews

I have been using these speakers for over a month now. I couldn't be happier. The look nice, and the sound quality is excellent. The bass response is very impressive with hardly any dstortion at mid-high levels. Who would've thought that you could get a great pair of speakers for less than fifty bucks? These babies are most definitely worth the money.

So I installed these in my 1991 Toyota Corolla. The speakers arrived in a well packed box from the factory, and came with everything needed to install it, including screws. When I opened the box, 1 speaker was good, 1 speaker was already crackling when I tested the woofers for movement. So, thanks to Amazon's amazingly easy returns policy, I got another set of speakers within a few days. When I opened the box, again, the exact same defect was apparent again. Fortunately, now I have 2 good speakers from 2 different boxes. After installing them, they sound okay. My car stereo only puts out 17 watts RMS, not monstrous by any means. Out of 40 total on my stereo dial, I put them up to 27 and they started distorting. When I was installing them, I was considering installing them with an amp to power them, but after hearing them distort right off the bat, there is no way. The bass on these speakers isn't very good. I have the bass maxed out, with 2 levels of bass boost on, and its still not very deep. I expected more from them (the Mach 400 stock system in my old Mustang had 6 x 9's, and they actually thumped a little). I realize that these aren't subwoofers, but good grief, there should at least be some definable bass to them! The only reason I gave these a 3 out of 5 is the fact that the mids and the highs from these speakers is actually pretty good. Combine them with a subwoofer, and you'll actually have a pretty good sounding system.
Overall view: You really to get what you pay for. For my little Toyota, which is just mine, and my wifes work car, they're okay. Lots better than the blown 5.25" that were in it. If you want deep bass, this is not the right place to look. If you want a decent mid speaker for a complete system, these are an okay option. Pyle's quality control definitely needs to be looked at though, 50% of their stock is blown out of the small sample I saw.
