Best value for money

About 6 months ago I bought 2 amps 6.5, 2 8 and a 1000w amp. Due to the weather there were almost none, but they still look great. They sound great, with great bass and good highs at 60mph on a windy day, and you can hear the music as clear as day. The best return on your money. 480.00 less than a pair of Jl 8s

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Great speakers in their price range!

Wow! I'm impressed with the sound quality, the price and those 8 inch speakers. They only work well with the Fusion head unit. Throw in a good booster and they really show what they can do! I will be buying another pair now that I have these installed. Great speakers for their price range.

Pros
  • Permanent Test Results
Cons
  • Damaged

You need a good amplifier to really enjoy these speakers.

I like everything about these speakers. Quick and easy to assemble, and after the first trip to the sandbar I knew I needed a bigger amp. It's a beast when you have enough to feed it. I would recommend it to anyone looking for good looking, powerful and clear sounding speakers with plenty of bass when installed in the right place.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Frequency

6.5 " speakers, 8 " speakers and 1000w amp

I have a pair of 6.5" SK65M speakers on my nose, a pair of 8" SK8M Speakers installed in the middle section and an RP-150.4 amplifier ABM 1000W. on my 21 foot boat and I am very happy. Eights offer excellent low frequencies and this system will be very loud and sound amazing. There may be better stuff out there, but I doubt there's anything that sounds as good at 1/3 the price of the big names. Do it, you won't be disappointed!

Pros
  • Solid construction
Cons
  • No

Great upgrade with OEM

The setup was not a direct replacement as I went from 6.5" to 8" on the outside of my fifth Jayco wheel. I'm so glad I took the extra time to get them factory sized. The sound is phenomenal, the looks are great and what an upgrade for the depth of sound. The bass response is much better. Up until purchasing a keder cord to prevent vibration on the intersecting exterior panels that can cause slight vibration. Easy project and amazing ROI!

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Same as JL 8.8 but MUCH smaller

I had JL 6.5 which became JL 7.7 and then JL 8.8. I had some issues with the JL and my friend on the boat had these SKARs. So I listened and was impressed. I don't think they sound as warm as the JL, but their mids from 125Hz to 250Hz are much more powerful. I have a set of 12 running on my low end, they cross at 85Hz. When I use them for a couple of hours they don't seem to overheat my amps, while when I use the JL for a couple of hours I do , would either overheat the voice coils or overheat…

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
