Summary:
These were the first speakers I ever bought, and I'm still using them today. They are well-suited to playing music at high volumes and handle a reasonable amount of power. For the price I think they were a great buy and they have served me well over the years. They play with a surprising amount of detail and the highs are quite clear. However, I find bas response to be lacking, especially for a pair of 15s. I think that cheap build quality on the drive units and enclosure limits the performance of these speaker but hey, you get whay you pay for...

Strengths:
-low price -get very loud and clear -pretty good high-frequency response -look very nice with grills on or off

Weaknesses:
I've heard 6.5" speakers with better bass response than these 15s. I blame it on the enclosure; the port is little more than a hole in the cabinet. Also, the back of the cabinet flexes like crazy at high volumes, which can't be good for performance. Overall, the strengths outweigh the weaknesses.
