I don't like them for SQ installs, but for SPL, I think they're great. I've run plenty of their amps, and they're awesome. |

True Statement I was using Alpine at 1st didnt become a rockford fan till recent can you go more into this? Oh, BTW, not only is it probably overrated, RF is a company that tends to measure their power at 14.4v. I no this is 1 of the advantages of getting a slash |
