Mine are almost three years old and the center main cones are now separated from the rubber surround which started to crumble after about two years. I regularly find particles from dust sized to one inch chunks of the woofer surround in the floor. Music started to sound buzzy after about a year and a half and then they completely died between two and three years. I don't have an amp and I had them professionally installed. I have a Sony head unit that is rated at 25 Watts RMS x 4 so I know they haven't been over powered. The sound is good when new but the build quality is a fraud to the consumer. Don't buy Sony Junk Speakers or Receivers under any circumstance. My Cheap Kenwood 5 1/2s were still ticking along without a flaw and I used them in another vehicle for eight years prior to this installation. I say were because the Sony Deck died coming home last Monday evening. REALLY BAD JOB SONY. Guess you are too busy buying movie studios and music producers to insure build quality in your products. NEVER AGAIN! WHAT JUNK!

I bought these to replace the stock speakers in my 05 Explorer. They fit perfectly. No Problems. You cant use the grilles in the Explorer but they do show nicely throught the panels. I dont think that these would work well with an amp as the rating is only 65 watts (maximum 250) and they get overpowered easily at higher volume levels. I use these with the Sony CDX-gt81uw. (which is an AWESOME deck but that is a different story!) They sound real good at regular levels and have excellent highs especially since they have the super tweeter. Overall I am happy with these. The quality is excellent but that's what I expect from Sony. Great replacement speakers that I would recommend for you to replace your lame Ford stock speakers.
