I went thru 4 sets of em, cause of the 2 year warranty, Dude kept swapping em out, Finally, I said just refund me, Im sick of tearing the dash apart. Never agan will I buy PB speakers. I will say PB costermer service is good. |

Silver Member Username: Gibson5469Post Number: 154 Registered: Jul-05 | just finished installing the component set on the driver side. i'm kind of dissapointed though, the Boston Acoustics FX6 2-ways produce better mids and (deeper) lows, but the pbx tweeter is nice. |

Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 2073 Registered: Mar-06 | "but the pbx tweeter is nice." Yea, Until it melts... I hope you bought them from an authorized dealer cause you will need the warrantee. But good luck to you. Maybe they fixed that problem....But at $80 a set, I doubt it. |

Silver Member Username: Gibson5469Post Number: 155 Registered: Jul-05 | yea I trusted the owner of the shop on this one though, known him for a few years and he's never tried to sell me anything. even told me to go with crutchfield (or other online sites) when I was buying a new HU. I'm sure I can sell the component set locally though, they are definitely an upgrade on stock speakers but not on my 2-way Bostons. |

Silver Member Username: Gibson5469Post Number: 156 Registered: Jul-05 | Well I got lucky and the guy refunded me my money. The reciept actually says "no refunds, exchanges only" so I was happy. Sounds so much better to have my boston acoustics and stock tweeter back in. |
