I purchased a set of these about 6 months ago to replace the front factory Dodge Infinity speakers that were blown in my Durango. I just installed them and kept the factory amp and did not install the included crossovers. They sounded pretty good (the highs were much better than the factory tweeters), but the low end was lacking unless the volume was pushed up. Not a big deal since I also have a small subwoofer, but it was noticeable. When my back pair of factory Infinity's died, I purchase another pair of these and this time installed the crossovers for both front and back and added an aftermarket amplifier (Kicker ZX350.4, 90 watt per channel amp). WHAT A DIFFERENCE! The sound came alive. The lows from these are incredible and I almost don't need the sub (almost...these speakers seem to be good to around 80Hz and then fall off pretty fast, my sub is good for the lower frequencies and I have the crossover set to 80Hz for that). Still, all the way down to 80Hz is really good for 6 inch door speakers! Of course having great big Durango doors probably helps!

Anyhow, if you are getting these for your vehicle, and you want them to sound their best, you really should back them up with an aftermarket amplifier and use the included crossovers. If not, they still sound better than factory speakers, even the "premium" ones! I am very pleased with these.

i have 4 of these speakers being pushed by a infinity reference amp. these speakers are clean and worth the money.

I have a 2001 Dodge Durango R/T with Infinity Premium sound. I purchased these speakers to replace the stock Infinity speakers that were already in the vehicle. They installed easily and sound even better than the stock ones used too. I am so glad that I got these as a replacement.

I still can't believe the price on these speakers. This is by far the best price that I have found (especially considering that these are components).

The high-end is very crisp and clear. This is even in comparison to some other after-market speakers that I had (not OEM speakers).

The main drivers are very capable of producing quality mid-range and low end bass.

The construction is top notch and the overall quality of everything is superb.

If you are looking for a solid replacement for your OEM speakers, this is a great choice for someone on a budget. You definitely get a big bang for your buck.

Purchased these to replace the OEM component speakers in the doors of my 2004 S2000. Installation required pulling the door panels off which is not very difficult on the S2000. The woofer required using the supplied adapter ring to fit into place where the OEM woofer was. The tweeter required some adaptation and a #6 3/8 inch screw and nut to secure it into place where the OEM tweeter was. The OEM tweeter was simply glued to a metal bracket and held into place. The bracket did have a hole which was used to secure the tweeter into place. Overall the installation took about an hour per door panel.

The sound quality is far superior to the OEM speakers and Infinity makes some really excellent tweeters which are extremely clear. I purchased these in order to upgrade the sound and to be able to hear the music more clearly while driving with the top down and in those respects, these speakers perform in an outstanding manner. As well, they also produce better than expected low end sound given the size of the speaker.

It took me almost 2 months to figure what I wanted... I should've just pulled the trigger with these speakers in the first place!
These are awesome! They sound superb even without an amp and without the door Dynomat. I installed these on a 1998 Honda Prelude and I tell you... I do not regret buying these one bit. I saw these at Car Toys, but they were asking $200. Purchased these from Audio Kraze (here) for less than $100.
Don't hesitate... just BUY THEM! You will not regret them. I listen to Rap, Rock, Oldies, and 70's and the sound is just amazing.

I was looking for a component speaker system to replace the HK 3-way separates in my 2003 BMW M3, and after reading post after post about how 6.5 woofers would not fit in the doors of my car, I happened upon this post:[ ... ]. All I can say is, I'm stoked I did!

The Reference 6030cs are worth at least double the 90-some bucks I paid for them; so much so I kind of feel guilty I paid so little.

These speakers are the kind of product that you wouldn't be surprised to see steadily increase in price. I'm hoping they don't, but the product is that good. I've installed component speakers by Boston Acoustics, Rockford Fosgate, and Infinity Kappa, and these Reference 6030's are the best yet. And they are a fraction of the price! These can be had on Amazon for under $100; don't go to other retailers who're charging $199.00 +.

Should've bit the bullet and dropped double for the Alpine Type R 6.5 separates that I ALMOST went with. These drivers are nice for sure. Good clean sound with only 60 true watts behind them. But the tweeters are LUDICROUSLY overly brittle!!! Crossovers are set right, but WTF??? I have to drop my eq highs to -2+ db to get them from splitting my ears open with "metal shards" of sound. This brings my eq out of balance overall :-(
I've checked everything. I have a sony mex 5700 deck that has the DSO option to "raise" the sound stage by increasing tweeter volume (amongst other things). I have this turned OFF, as even one notch up make it impossible to sit in the car while the shards of sound-glass rip through your flesh.

I've managed to tweak it enough to live, so these get a decent rating from me since they're not bad at all in the driver / mid area.
Value is good for sure. Good product. But think about soft or silk tweeters if you want round sound like I do/did.

I have an 04 impala with premium system so it had component 6.5 in the front with a tweeter so installation was a breeze. The main speaker bolted to my factory mount and for the tweeter I used outdoor double sided mounting tape to mount it in the stock location. The wires matched up with the harness very easily. It took me around 1.5-2 hours to install both speakers (in the dark) and I can very easily put the factory speakers back in if I were to sell the vehicle and still wanted to keep these.

I am very impressed with the sound improvement. They are much more clear than my factory speakers. Combined with infinity 6x9s in the back, which I just installed, I couldnt be happier.

They are decent speakers once you get the e.q. to fit your preference. I had them hooked up to a hifonics amp, and with the way the amp e.q. was set, the tweeters were very overpowering, they were piercing. Just thought the speakers were terrible, but once i messed around with both the amp and head unit e.q., they turned out to be real good speakers. Just got to mess around with it till it suits your musical output preference. For the price, you can't go wrong...Good Luck...
