[QUOTE="audiobaun, post: 8763540, member: 634282"] For the Front stage/ Front speakers.. The Hertz sound good for what they are.. I have a set of these in 6.5 and a set of Coax. I also have a set of Polk MM 6.5s and a set of the 5.25s that Ive sent a link to.. and Of all Id recommend the Polk 5.25s off of HU power or as well as being amplified for your needs. They do well off HU power, but so much better with an amplifier as the majority of all aftermarket speakers that I could find within the Budget.
