I'm not worried about them. Techronics is accredited by the Better Business Bureau. Not only that, but fakes are covered under their warranty. If the speakers are found as fakes, I get my money back. There's nothing on them that leads me to believe they are fakes. I'll be attempting to register them with Pioneer today. I'll let you know how that goes.
I'm definitely going to play around with the tweeter settings on it. I do like a somewhat brighter tweeter and these aren't necessarily known for having a bright tweeter so I may go with the +3 dB. I'm planning on starting out on 0 dB and going from there. One review I read about these speakers said that they easily compete with components in the $1500 range, well "you could easily spend two or three times as much and not get a better sounding set of components for your hard-earned bucks."http://www.caraudiomag.com/testreports/0612_caep_pioneer_premier_ts_c720prs/index.html
The review was written by the same guy who reviewed my SRs. After installing and tuning the speakers, and rereading the review, I had to wonder WTF he was listening to. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
This is another car audio absurdity. Why wouldn't a speaker sound good (whatever that means) playing a given genre? It's a rhetorical question, but I think you see my point. Ultimately, the concept of goodness isn't based on performance; it's based on individual preferences and expectations. By delineating a transducer's role relative to specific music, the writer is prorating his own expectations onto the reader. That's ridiculous.
Errr...because the Polks offer a higher level of resolution. Whether that's important to a typical car audio costumer whose aural sophistication hinges on tonal balance and frequency response is another story.
Where did that come from? I think you need to reread my comments. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
This basically puts me down because I bought the speakers based upon reviews.
As far as a speaker sounding good or not, well we all know some speakers just plain ****. Again, this could be "subjective", however, let me ask you: Would you put a set of Roadmaster speakers in your car? So to say that saying a speaker sounds good is a car audio absurdity, is simply absurd. Not all speakers will sound good, some in fact, will sound like complete sh*t.
That wasn't the intent.
Sure, if I liked them.
I wish you wouldn't put me in this position. I even asked you to reread my comments in hopes of resolving a misunderstanding, but it seem that you have not done that. This is my last try before uploading added text. This is what I wrote:
