Review: Worth the money - These are great speakers. Had MB Quarts
that blew out. These Rockford's are 1000% times better!!! They
sound awesome!!! Would highly recommend.
Review: Couldn't Be Happier! Bass is plenty, and highs are
surreal! - Best Thump-Bump for the money. I'm a bit of an
audiophile but won't spend $$$ for extreme sound when these are
affordable and sound amazing. Clear highs sound truly separated
from the underlying bass line in a way that I've actually never
heard in any of my friend's cars and is even hard to reproduce in
a home surround system. You have to hear it to fully understand
but you can have more bass and still hear the lyrics clearer and
crisper than ever before. I actually turned my treble down a
little at first because the tweeter and mid range was really
standing out. Once I got them equalized on my aftermarket 16w RMS
stereo it sounds great (Cheap Dual 5" screen stereo, I wouldn't
recommend it unless you keep the WallyWord receipt to swap it out
when it breaks early). After turning the bass up and mids down a
few dB, the treble can be turned up just fine. I always turn mids
down some, it's not the speakers. The cymbal hits were so crisp I
could hear the cymbals resonating as they faded away over a
strong bass line, like in real life. Yep, I was saying wow. I
only have the front speakers installed so far and even with poor
quality original rears the 2 front 6x8" Fosgates seem to put out
as much bass as my factory 8" amplified sub, and they are
punchier, more accurate sounding with a very satisfying rumble.
However, for balanced sound I would recommend having an 8 or 10"
sub. No reason to overdo the sub but it does add depth. This
doesn't mean the speakers are weak and require a sub, in fact
most people would be satisfied with the bass provided by 4
Fosgate Punches - at least using the 6x8 size. The cone is
concave and exterior build quality is outstanding. I expect them
to last. I did extensive research on all types of door speakers
and spent a little more for these, glad I did. Further Review and
Thoughts: My factory speakers are molded into a small box and
these are just installed freely inside the door frame, I can
definitely feel the sound resonating inside that un-tuned door.
They would sound better with a small enclosure, maybe ported, but
buidling / installing that would be tricky unless you use
something like a Boom Mat speaker baffle (never tried them but
probably helpful if it fits properly - see reviews). If anyone
has used them with these speakers please comment, I suspect
porting would do best since they are moving some air. I'm really
excited to install the rears! Very easy to install and in the 05
Explorer the door panels couldn't be easier to remove. Cost wise
you might be surprised what your factory speakers are selling for
used on eBay. I can hopefully get enough to offset half my cost.
These aren't designed to be turned way up to 11, you need
something with higher RMS wattage for that but they are loud.
Trust me, I doubt you'll return these for audio reasons nor want
to upgrade after you get them equalized properly. If your stereo
is factory, upgrade that first for best sound. I'm telling
everyone to come sit and listen to at least 30 seconds of music.
I used dielectric grease on the connectors but check to see if
your car's wires have oxidized, mine had a black coating on the
copper wire even tho it was stripped 3" back from the connector.
This could affect transmission so I used a pocket knife to
quickly scrape that off and make it shiny before attaching my
blade connectors. Crimp them tight and check polarity! I needed
small washers on the factory screw heads so they wouldn't dig
into the mounting holes but hardware and clips are provided. I
took the install opportunity to clean and spray my door hinges
with white lithium grease and clean the door seams and window
track. A window motor can last inevitably longer if dust and grit
aren't causing resistance. Real-World Technical Aspects: Prices
can't be beaten, pick up a couple sets, generally for best sound
use the same speakers in all 4 doors. The magnet was strong in
these by the way, that's a very good sign. I wouldn't worry about
the mediocre sensitivity specs, it's not quite 90 dB or higher
but the volume loudness was fine even with a relatively
underpowered head unit. The frequency range also sounded full to
me, I could hear and feel the low frequency lows very well and
obviously they are producing the highs in blissful abundance. The
crossover works beautifully to separate the frequencies and send
them to the proper component. I assume this is one aspect where
Rockford Fosgate's engineering is superior to lesser brands. My
car came with premium sound, 2-way door speakers and a factory 8"
sub but this fills the car with sound, blowing the old speakers
out of the water and onto an eBay listing!
