[QUOTE="Raven, post: 681953, member: 558368"] What? What does wattage ratings have to do with this? High power handling is NOTHING when you are attaching speakers to a HU. It's all about efficiency and quality. My bro's truck has the 6.5" set mounted in stock location. That's where my judgement comes from. What's so bad about a 3 band EQ? Take a cheap Pioneer HU, put the mid +2, and set the loud feature on to it's lowest setting . Now listen to the JVCs sing. It's all in the install. My $200 retail Alphasonik 4 band EQ can't save my $70 Sonys, so I don't see what's wrong with using a HU to tweak some $45 speakers for a desired effect. hiloracerboy84 asked for something good on the mids and highs. 40hz is subbass. I would say the 5.25 could probably go to about 80hz, but it's just a 5.25" speaker, what do you want, low octave miracles? Buy a sub. ProfilePower. Read.understand.post. In that order. hiloracerboy84: If you're only looking to spend about $50, talk to the people here willing to sell stuff. I've found this forum to be pretty respectable about selling things. I've made 3 purchases to date, and don't regret any of them. [/QUOTE]
