They Work GREAT! I replaced my infiniti speakers and the polk are much much better sounding.

Excellent speakers. Fit was just right in my Infiniti G35, although the tweeters took a little ‘tweaking’ to get them to fit right in the stock location (a little Velcro). These have plenty of bass for 6.5″ speakers. I made the mistake of installing with the crossover switch set to ‘+3′ (added/extra highs on the tweets) as the tweeters were initially way too shrill. I then went back in and changed the switch to ‘normal’ and it sounds much better.
Are these the best 6.5″ components I’ve ever heard? No…but if you factor in the price, these are probably the best deal out there. I would not hesitate to buy them again; the other brand of components that I liked better cost more than $300 a pair. These are a great deal.

Others had mentioned it before, the tweeters in this component set are extremely sensitive. Yes, they are! I’ll add the mids don’t respond in kind. A very subjective, un-scientific set of numbers, but it feels like raising the volume on the radio by 50% causes the mids to go up maybe 45% and the tweeters by 65%. Put even more power behind it and the tweeters really start screaming compared to the rest of the sound range. I don’t know if it’s the speaker design or the crossover design. Doing some tweaking with the radio’s controls helps keep this under control. Otherwise the set sounds quite good for the price.

Got and installed these in my son’s Saturn for Xmas for under $ 110.00 could not be beat, they sound Awesome! with his Alpine Hd unit. Mounting was a trick had to cut old speakers out of their mounts using a rotory tool and had to devise a mount for the crossover so they would fit in each door without hitting the window when it was in the down position.
