JL "critical mass" coax's?

[Rubrignitz 10+ year member]

I'm considering replacing my BA SL80 deck speakers with these JL's. Rest of system consists of Morel Hybrid Ovations up front powered by 5-ch RF Power 1k amp w/ JL 12w6 sub in trunk and Alpine Ida-x100 HU w/ imprint. Would it even be worth it for rear fill???

Thats like almost retail cost on those.

Price notwithstanding. Worth it to yank my SL80's and replace?

Are you asking whether or not to use these as rearfill?

metroholdingslimited is high as fvck on most of their stuff. You can find cheaper elsewhere. I hate oval speakers, and would not mess with them, but these should sound decent for an oval speaker.

That's what i'm asking. Forget the ebay link. My SL80's are a plate keep in mind...

I'mno audiophile but I think I've assembled a pretty **** good SQ system and just wondering if there's something better than what I have for rear fill/SQ.

No i would never spend that much on rear fill. Why would you want a $600 pair of speakers firing off the glass behind you.

Lol, yeah that makes sense. I keep it at about 70/30 f/r but was just wondering if there was anything I could improve on in the rear. The BA plates are pretty **** nice...

I probably just need to start matting my trunk/car. Loud exhaust....

you can get them far cheaper.

on a side note JL shouldnt even be in the title of the auction though.

I run a set of those in the door of my FX4...they are very impressive coax's and well worth the asking price.....

You are willing to drop $588 on speakers and you dont even know who makes them? They are not JL's, obviously they are made by Ford Mustang.

I haven't bought them yet, jackass. Just researching and looking for opinions. Thanks for providing yours.

Somebody cant laugh at themselves.

I never said you bought them. My point was completely irrelevent to whether you purchased them or not. And it was a joke, jackass.

What's your research tell you about these JL's? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Sorry about the jackass comment, it was early when I posted that. Yeah, I realize they're not JL's. Remind me again... what was your point? I'd never heard of critical mass, so shoot me.
