I bought 2 boxes of these speakers at £15 per box to replace the 4 much abused, 18 year old speakers in my car. Initially I was pleased with them, they weren't much louder than the speakers they replaced but they had slightly better clarity and bass. After a month or so, one of the speakers developed a horrible high pitched buzz from the tweeter on certain notes. I checked to see nothing was caught in it and wrote it down to me over-driving them. It may be important to note that my stereo is a lowly 12watts RMS, I felt 90 watt speakers should be able to cope. However, for some reason the manufacturer refuses to follow the industry and measure their speakers in RMS. After a further few weeks of not particularly loud music, the other 3 speakers developed exactly the same problem as the first, screaming on certain tones. I borrowed a tone generatorCD from someone and played it loud through all frequencies which seems to have reduced the screaming noise somehow, possibly having partially melted the tweeter or something. The noise is still there however it is less noticeable. If you only listen to the radio in the background or something like that, these speakers would be fine. However, if you like music at moderate volume, avoid these speakers.
