Overlooking the installation there is no
real downside I can think of to this upgrade. For those of you who have not
installed speakers before, I would definitely recommend that you have a professional
shop install these. These speakers are a great investment for people looking
to get more enjoyment out of their sound system.
Fit: 5
For those of you who have installed speakers before this will be what would
best be called a typical installation. There is a need to drill 8 holes through
the metal deck of the car. As always the hardest part is getting the holes
lined up. These speakers can be flush mounted but I opted not to. The reason
for that decision was I did not want to cut the rear deck. If you do not flush
mount these speakers you will have to purchase 8 2.5" stainless steel
screws. Due to the location you will hardly see the speakers once installed,
regardless of what method you choose. (Installation
Tip: Cut the factory wiring harness off the old speaker and wire it to the
new ones if you are using the factory wiring. This will save you a good deal
of time.)
Finish: 10
The quality of these speakers is infinitely
better than that of the stock paper coned speakers. Everything
from the holographic marquee logo to the gold terminals say quality.
Performance: 10
These speakers project a lot more
bass, but shine the most in the mid range. The mid range is very crisp and
well defined. The high range is very exceptional also, but can not be fully
appreciated due to the location of the speakers. Even at high volume with
the bass cranked up there is no sign of flutter from these speakers.
