installed this morning. they sounds as good or better than the CMX kicks. i will follow up once they break in a bit. the sound is definitely warmer and not as in your face as the CMX's. i didn't do much changing on the crossover except that i dropped the mid lp down to 63hz from 80hz. they kept right up with the lows from the sub. the blend is much richer, i think. the CMX's do sound really good once they break in a bit. just in case it sounded like a rainbow bashing....
