These were replacement speakers for some poor quality JVC speakers I had. They're run of a Sony CD headunit (4*50W) with standard speaker wire.
With the cost being under £40 for a set of 6*9s I wasn't expecting anything spectacular but boy was I in for a surprise!! The quality of sound between the JVCs & Sony was just unbelievable.
The JVCs gave very poor bass & when you increased the volume, it just distorted. But with these Sony X-plods the bass is good enough for me to get the regular unapproving look from elderly passers-by & the treble/vocals is perfectly audible even with the speakers near their limits.
I play all sorts of music on them from Dance to Pop to Rock & it handles them all perfectly. Even though I can only turn my headunit up about a 1/3 of maximum, this is plenty loud enough to feel the bass in your back.
Although they are not the lightest of speakers, the parcel shelf on my 205 manages quite happily. Even when the boot is raised, you don’t find yourself dreading the shelf supports giving way & the shelf come falling back down.
For anyone who doesn’t want to go all out for a sound system (amps, subs, high quality cables etc) & just wants a normal system that they can turn up regularly without fear of blowing the speakers, you could do a lot worse than these speakers. In my experience, these are definitely the best speakers out there for the money!!
