These speakers are awesome! They have excellent clarity. I have them installed in an S10 with Alpine Type S 4x6 speakers in the dash, two 12 inch subwoofers behind the seats, and an Alpine IDA-x001 head unit. I have passive crossovers installed on these speakers, so I can't comment on the bass response of these speakers, but the mids and highs are excellent. I have them powered by the in-deck amplifier, and these speakers could certainly handle more power than is being supplied. An external amplifier would probably be a good choice with these these speakers, but it is not necessary. They sound loud and clear just the way they are. They sound better than several component speaker systems that I have heard in the past, and I would definitely recommend these speakers to anyone wishing to upgrade their sound system.

I went searching for 4 speakers for my 99 pathfinder. Went to circuit city after they announced the closing, not impressed with the inventory or the price. I found these, installed them with a slight mod. to the speaker mount. They sound great for their size, and yes THEY DO HAVE BASS!

these speakers are great, i have two in the rear of my jeep and they sound great. the high pitches are great these come with a bass equalizer to help get rid of those nasty notes and the bass itself is decent, but you dont buy speakers for bass. i have another pair that i am waiting to put in the front of my jeep
