I love these guys. I ordered two for a DIY Computer soundbar build. They good at first but they should really be used with an equalizer. I pushed the bass and 2k to 5k hertz ranges and it made the drivers sound much better. For my application they were great. Hivi even included foam rings for mounting the drivers to eliminate vibrations. Great drivers that I'd recommend to anyone.

In a small sealed enclosure, this speaker is a phoenomenal performer and has become a standard go-to. It's hard to beat in so many ways... aesthetcs, performance, price... the /only/ downside is that the outter rim is a bit thin for a 6 screw and the hole is too big for a 4... so screws look a bit oversized. Ideally, the rim would (1) be 1mm wider, and the hole would be 0.25mm smaller... even better, the rim would be solid/flat like it's 34;square-faced34; sister speaker. With the turned edge design, the spcing has to be just right (and currently, it's a bit off). Note: I did /not/ receive a promotional discount for a positive review... (but if someone ever wanted to hit me up, you know where to find me)... ;)

These replaced a set of Illusion Audio C3CX speakers in my A-Pillars. WOW! The transparency and imaging is rivaling my home system.
