Anyone have any experience with these? They are on sale at crutchfield for what looks like a good price and I am thinking of pulling the trigger on a pair.

They are a tad on the brighter side. I you like peaky highs then this is for you.

I actually ordered a pair yesterday that should be here Monday. I am putting them in the front doors and deleting the rear speakers totally. I’ll be installing a sub under the passenger flip up rear seat once I decide on a box. I’ll let you know how these sound on the factory HU.

Thanks I actually ordered them also based on Hush since he knows his stuff. Also having them installed Monday hopefully.

Did you order thru Crutchfield also?

It would be cool if you ordered through me lol. I beat their prices too.

Dang wish I had known. I’ll keep you in mind on the next order.

Same here I just saw they were on clearance for 140 and I had a 10% off code so I grabbed them.

I got mine put in last night but forgot to take pics unfortunately. I had prefabricated a mounting adapter out of 1/2" MDF and for some reason the specs online weren't correct so the cutout was too small. By the time I fixed that I was rushing and just forgot. Either way they fit just fine and I did not have to modify the door skin at all. I'll be redoing the adapter out of plastic whenever I add an amp. I was honestly unsure if these would fit and didn't want to put a lot of effort into an adapter plate if not. I also added some dynamat extreme around the mounting hole. I did however take pics of the tweeters. I had to remove a considerable amount of plastic with the dremel but they have a good solid press fit. I recommend just tracing them on the outside with a pencil and go to town on it... but slowly.... you can't put back what you take off.




Anyways, on to the sound. I was surprised at the amount of bass response they kept compared to the stock. I would say the low end output is roughly the same but just a little tighter and not as boomy. The higher sensitivity helps with using the stock HU but I can tell they will really shine when I put some power to them. The highs were a little harsh with the EQ flat. When I bumped the treble down two notches that seems to be the sweet spot.

All in all I'm very please with them but am anxious to get them powered and add a subwoofer into the mix. It's gonna sound great. I'd recommend picking up a set while they are on sale.

What year is your truck? Are those the factory A-pillars? I like the look of those tweeter "pods" much better than the ones on my '16.
