Very nice sound for such small speakers. Great price too. They fit where most speakers won't and they sound like speakers that are much more expensive.

I bought a pair of these just over a month ago for my 85 MB 300D. They sounded great for a month, then one blew on me. I wasn't pushing them too loud with a giant amp, just basic listening through a low end kenwood cd player. I was outside the 30 day return window, so it was left up to Boston Acoustics for a warranty. They informed me that only Crutchfield is an authorized online retailer (these were bought through Amazon by Discounts Jungle) and thus I had no warranty. So buyer beware, you're buying a product without a warranty, very nice.

Put these speakers in a 1998 Audi A4 but they needed to be slightly modified to install. Bought them to replace a blown speaker and wow these things sound great. They are phenomenally better than the terrible stock (non-bose) Audi factory speakers. Highly recommend these speakers to anyone interested in them, the highs are very crisp and these speakers handle bass better than I thought since they're only 4 inch speakers.

Good, fast service from the vendor, but the speakers sound cheap and tinty. No low end bass and even the lower end of midrange is lacking. That said, the stereo may be crappy and part of the problem on our end.

These replaced some more 'efficient' (read cheap low end) boston acoustics speakers in my pickup. The old ones sounded ok until they blew. These sound much better. Having a 2-way (separate tweeter) makes a huge difference. I also threw in an 8" boston sub. Together they make a complete system. Not the loudest out there but they're clean and they go louder than I'd want to listen to anyways.

Purchased speakers...claimed to be new. When opened the box they had clearly had wear from attempted to being installed. The cone was cracked. Box didn't even have all the original parts. Contacted dealer. They advised me to send them back and they would exchange them. Couple weeks after sending them back got 50% of my money back and the company would not respond to my calls. I got screwed out of time and money. Will never deal with the dealer again.

I bought these to compliment a pair of 6.5" speakers also made by Boston. In the past, I have always installed Rockford Fosgate speakers in my vehicles because I believed them to be the best bang for the buck. With this new vehicle purchase I could not find Fosgate speakers at the size/price I wanted so I took a chance on these based on the decent reviews they were getting. I have to say I am blown away by how great these sound. These sound much better than the Fosgate speakers I had in my last vehicle. I haven't even replaced the factory head unit yet and they sound so amazing that I am no longer planning on doing so. I am not an audiophile; I just want crisp treble and a decent amount of bass with no distortion. These speakers have met this requirement with flying colors. I am officially done with Fosgate for the foreseeable future. Oh--and did I mention that the price on these is amazing? p.s. I do recommend bass blockers for speakers this size which I did install with these.

I'm used to 6 1/2 and 6x9's plus 2 10's so these speakers obviously couldn't compare, but they do sound surprisingly good for a pair of 4's. I got them to put into my BMW R1100RT in the enclosures from an R1150RT, with a Dayton amp, and Even though I'm not done with the install, The sound quality was great at home on my test bench.

I bought these to replace the crummy stock speakers in my Toyota truck. Had read good reviews online, and have liked what I've seen and heard of Boston Acoustics in the past, and I wasn't disappointed here. For small speakers I'm impressed by their sound, they pump the bass and do well with the highs. Just had these out for one good roadtrip, very happy with this purchase. Delivered earlier than I'd expected, a plus. Overall, great speakers if you're wanting a decent, good value upgrade to basic stock speakers. And a nice fit for the front dashboard speakers if you've got an early 90's 4Runner/pick up/Hilux/Surf like mine

never received speakers called and people were nice on phone but problem never resolved. Its been over a month and I still have not received my refund.I guess that's what you get for looking for the cheapest price.
