These little speakers are absolutely fantasic with both quality construction and sound. I have purchased speakers from this manufacturer before and all are great. In my application however, the magnet was just slightly larger than i could use. I do highly recommend them if they fit into your configuration.

I used these speakers instead of the regular ones. Because the paper diffuser of the regular ones was destroyed by the sun. The mounting place did not fit exactly. Therefore, I had to use only two screws instead of four. But this is normal. Before buying, you need to know whether this speaker is suitable in terms of nominal resistance. So that the sound volume matches the other speakers in the cabin. I can't say anything exact about the frequency characteristics. Because I don't have the appropriate equipment. But to my ear, it's not bad. Especially for that kind of money.

Fits good for the mach 460 speakers. No need to clip any cord, just need to modify one of the corners as i did in photo for the cover to go back on. Sounds good Ordered two and one of the corners came bent but had to cut it off anyways so it was okay. Sounds good for the money

Good upgrade for the stock mids in the 2020 Sierra. No more shrilling highs that legitimately hurt the ears lol. These things get to moving on 20 watt stock amp, no distortion even when i removed the hipass filter for the tweeters lol.

I have a '19 Nissan Frontier and the stock dash speakers are the WORST. Finding decent full range but affordable speakers for the tiny dash speakers is a problem. 2.5" speakers are hard to find. I upgraded my car stereo by adding an amp, EQ and all new speakers. Originally, I put some Skar tweeters in the dash spot, which sounded good, but when the amp is off, only extreme high range sound came from the tweeters. So I couldn't really listen to the radio with the accessory / key / amp off. I decided to try these 4 ohm mid range speakers and wire them up in tandem with the skar tweeters (also 4 ohm). Now the front channel is running on 8 ohms each channel. Sounds much better (full range), as these Daytons are good for the mid's (full range) and the tweeters with bass blockers handle the cymbals and super highs. I mounted those on the pillars. I wish they made these with an integrated tiny low profile tweeter, that would be perfect. But this is ok. They don't handle a ton of amps, but are good enough for the stock radio channel output. Estimated around (30 watts max). Things to know when you buy these they aren't in sets. So the price is for ONE speaker. They aren't high powered so I wouldn't wire them a to an amp, a stock radio will power them nicely.

I dropped my JBL.No, it started making weird noises took out the speaker found that one of them broke. Ordered these ones for replacement it. Screws didn't quite match but sounds just as good maybe better than it did before. Only time will tell.
