They sounded great for about a week, then 1 tweet popped and smoked and a week later the other one went, and now they both sound like crap, like they are blown, so any way I too am looking for new 3.5 speakers. I suppose the power bass would be ok if they were amped with @ 20-30watts, I had @ 40 watts going to em and they smoked. They were rated for 35wrms, so I may trade them in for a new pair and run em at 25wrms and see what happens. |

While they would overdrive if I got crazy with the sound, they never let me down. It was, oops, too much, lemme back it down a tad and they would just chug along. |

But atleast I know I have more options now. I gonna see if I can sneek a 5 1/4 comp in and remote tweet instead of combined. |
