$0.00 Summary:
I currently have these speakers installed in a car audio application. Mine have had approximately 4 years in home use on them, and 2 years in-car use. The factory response is fairly smooth and flat, however, bass reproduction was a little less than exceptional. The tweeters are very crisp due to their size, and the midranges are aimed for the higher octaves. I have modified these speakers on a few levels.
- I'm currently using a bi-amped setup, so there is now two sets of terminals on the back of them.
- I've upgraded subwoofers to a cost-effective, high-power alternative (Insignia/Power Acoustik FUBR-12)
-Internal sub wiring has been upgraded to 12 gauge Monster Cable, and the tweeters/midranges have received 16 gauge Rockford Fosgate speaker wire.
-Terminal cups and around subwoofer has been resealed to ensure that it is air-tight.
There are no crossovers inside of these speakers, however, you will find the attached capacitors as necessary protection.
I am running two amplifiers right now. Sub amplifier is running at about 500W RMS, and the high amplifier is running at no more than 50W RMS for the midrange/tweeter per channel.
The port size is a bit small (~2"), but even after the subwoofer change, the port does not whistle with the extra excursion. With a light amount of poly-fill, these speakers are efficient at low volumes, yet remain accurate at higher volumes.
Though the factory driver qualities are less than exceptional, the design of these are great with a few modifications. I'd like it if they still made these.
