More Than I Expected!, January 29, 2009
This review is from: Pyle PADH212 1600W Heavy Duty Speaker MDF Construction with Reinforced Corners (Electronics)
WOW! This was a real steal! I am very cautious about things that are to good to be true. This is very true! For the cost of this product, there is no better value. I like my speakers big and loud, and these exceeded all my expectations. I've played music most all of my life for people at all different occations and I was very impressed. I would reccomend these to anyone who needs more bang for their buck!

Could be better, but for the price they're a steal., January 2, 2010
This review is from: Pyle PADH212 1600W Heavy Duty Speaker MDF Construction with Reinforced Corners (Electronics)
I was very cautious buying these as I've learned the hard way in the past the deal with cheap electronics. As well as hearing nothing but bad things about Pyle, I decided at ($99 shipped, used) + one from Provantage ($117 shipped, new), I couldn't really go wrong with them. I have to say they look very impressive, and even with my temporary Yamaha HTR-5280, (100w x5), they get REALLY loud. I would not consider the two woofers subwoofers as they do produce high frequency sounds to help out the horn and tweeters. I don't know if this can be changed by messing with the crossover, but I'm not going to dig around in the speakers quite yet. The listing says they have dual 1/4 and dual speakon, however mine both came with dual binding posts as well, which is exactly what I needed and ended up not having to build my own cables or spend more money. I have looked into replacing the woofers, however I'm not sure I want to take any chances and I'm not experienced to know if changing the woofers from (16ohms each), to at least 8ohms each would not only increase the load and lower the ohms for the receiver, but do damage or put extra stress on the board inside the speaker, (unless that is only the crossover). Cabinets look great from the outside, but when you open them up they are very cheaply made, and you may need to vaccum out the inside the first time you get it as pieces of the cheap wood actually fall off inside during shipping and I had some small wood chunks that were rattling around in the woofers. For the price, they are really great and get very loud. They don't sound hollow or anything, but unless you don't like thumping, stomach shaking bass, you will need a subwoofer. The two 12's really don't give you that much bass. I am currently using them as the right and left front channels in my room and they are great. Makes me wonder if the 15' woofer version of these would be much better, however there was a large price difference between the two when I bought them.

OK for the price, December 7, 2009
This review is from: Pyle PADH212 1600W Heavy Duty Speaker MDF Construction with Reinforced Corners (Electronics)
I ordered these speakers for my son as he is in a band and does some djing. Considering the price these speakers are ok. One of them developed a rattling baffle sound and had to be replaced, since then they have performed well.Don't take the power rating as gospel whilst they will handle a decent amount of power i would say 200w rms is closer(depending on the amp of course). He is driving them through an adcom 555 which seems to push them too the limits. just a note on Amazons return policy. I have nothing for praise for the Amazon part of the procedure but I was extrememly dissapointed with ups. Amazon emailed me a return autherization along with a shipping label. On taking it to the ups store i was told that they couln't ship it because the weight on the waybill was 6lbs out compared with the actual rate.I told them to change the weight but they refused. I eneded up having to go back to the ups store and pick them up so a ups driver could pick them up WITHOUT WEIGHING them.
Amazon stop using UPS and use FEDEX please.
