[QUOTE="Gary S, post: 7398316, member: 568291"] Usually, when a company advertises matched speakers, they mean midbass, mids or tweeters designed to be used in a stereo pair are tested for their parameters so that the pair you get measure and behave similarly. You see, mass-produced speakers usually are not identical and parameters can vary widely, supposedly leading to a slightly different sound between left and right channels in a stereo system. By matching the drivers, it's thought that each side will be more identical in accuracy. If they are talking about subs... that sounds like advertising hype to me. Most subs are run mono, especially in a car. [/QUOTE]
