I tried to research these components before I purchased them, but there was not much info. on them, which is a mystery to me. These are truely audiophile quality components. I think what steers people away from them is thier RMS rating (70-140), but let me tell you, I have these hooked up to a 175x4 Crunch Amp. (The PZI-175) and that only made them sound cleaner and smoother! What many people don't understand is; Distortion and underpowering speakers is far more detrimental to speakers than slightly overpowering them. As long as you have the proper gain and frequency range dialed into your Amp., more power can be a sweet thing! On this same Amps. rear channel I have MA Audio HK6x9s another excellent set of speakers to be had at a low price! The Pheonix Gold 6.5s sound just as good and better than some much more expensive components I auditioned... Like Kicker,Fosgate,and Infiniti. At only $65.00, These P.G.s Trump 6.5 Comp. costing twice and maybe 3 times as much $$. They look almost identical to Polk DBs. Hmmmm? The music detail from these P.G. Octane-Rs is sooo crisp and the mids and lows so smooth and forceful you'd swear I'd payed hundreds more! Removing them from the box I was very impressed by thier build quality and beafiness. At first glance, the in-line crossover disappointed me... looks like a cheap bass blocker! But after the install in my 02' Solara, The superior sound astounded me. I can only imagine how good Pheonix Gold's Top of the line Titaniums sound! Don't pass these up, highly recommended!
