I do not have them hooked up as midrange so can only answer for the low end. These speakers really perform well in a ported box with a great sound for inside the car. It will not travel far outside the vehicle, and if not careful can clip. With the right settings as long as you are going for a good crisp mix, these work well. If you are looking for something that is going to push a lot of air for bass that you feel inside a building, these will not do it. I built the box myself for a single GTO804 following the specs on the sheet and used a shop vac tube as the bass port. The potential is found more in the ported than in a sealed box imo.

I've been happy with wiring the second inputs separately on the big L and R speakers and using that for the low end, but I'm also not a major bass-head. I'd suggest trying that first and then if you feel you need to add a sub, do it.

I think it would sound better than my set up since yours would be in the trunk and not in the cab like mine. Bass is nice and tight. But if your looking for something that hits hard, keep looking.

For serious bass you will need subwoofers, that's car audio 101. However, for mid-range tones (some of which are bass) you can't go wrong with these. Pyle is my favorite "off brand" stereo supplier by far. Quality products, cuz.

More power is better. I installed these in a Lincoln Continental. I used a four channel 125 watt @ 2 ohms amplifier in my set up. This was more than enough power for these speakers. Infinity is known for their treble frequency reproduction. These are quality speakers at a reasonable price. If your just replacing your factory speakers.. You should consider at least installing an aftermarket head unit. You can really push these speakers. They sound best with adequate power. Under powering ANY speaker will give you subpar performance.. Installing an amp is a simple concept. Tuning your amp and speakers is more complex. More power is better.

It's definitely not going to take the place of 2 12" speakers. I run 4 of these speakers only powered by my kenwood 4x50w head unit. I do have an 8" infinity sub in the trunk. And it's fantastic! When the sub is turned off it's a very noticeable drop in bass. They may be better powered by a dedicated amp, i would be interested to see how that works as i've been thinking of getting another amp.

Hi Major Tom. I am probably the wrong guy to answer. I called Klipch directly as I wanted to match the tone, etc of my mains that I have had for close to 20 years. I was leaning toward the rc's as I thought them to be the better speaker. The direction from Klipsch was the C series. I have the C20 center and matched with surrounds. I am quite happy now the I have them dialed in. If it matters, I am using a Marantz 7008. Good luck, JG

I personally would look online (Google search speaker size for that truck) then I would call the dealer to do a comparison check (better safe than sorry if unsure) and happy shopping after that!!!! P.S. Awesome speakers and I have an El' Cheapo deck in my 00 durango. Any quality deck and amp and you'll be fine.

neo 815 is a great system. It rivals systems at twice the price. lite weight and easy to handle as well. easy to mix with and extreme spl for smaller venues . by comparison the b series is nice but not the strongest in the line up. the neo will compare to QSC K series but with stronger bass. hope that helps

I've driven a jeep liberty for a while and the stock speakers in that didn't sound terribly bad to me, but these will almost definitely have better midrange and highs, whether they'll have significantly more bass I can't say, but the bass should be better defined and less muddy. If your goal is simply "more bass", then spending your money on a sub would yield better results; however, if you want clearer, more dynamic and less muddy sound, these should be a very noticeable improvement.

Polk has a home series of subs that you may want to look into, this one is made for a car. It would probably sound great indoors if you could properly connect it to your system.

whatever you like really. the speakers are really flat which is really good for mixing but if you like big boom a sub wont hurt. just have to learn your setup so your mixes dont come out bass heavy or lacking in bass

Do you like to thump? These provide ample high and mids for my vehicle, a very small amount of bass since it's running off my 12 watts per channel head unit. It's enough for my car, if you want more of a robust system, I would definitely do so with a sub and a couple of amps to power it fully.

Your higher end speaker manufacturers match and balance the speaker drivers and sizes for optimized sound between speakers. So, ideally, matching is better. For me, a lover of good sound, with few coins, you get what you can when presented on sale. I have the Klipsch RC-42 II center speaker, Wharfedale Diamond 10.4 side speakers and the 8" Yamaha sub that came with my Yamaha receiver. I've tweaked the crossovers, distance and volume settings and really love what I hear. When working with good quality speakers and a good amp, you can't go too far wrong!

Thank You for the reply. yes I did mean DB the settings are 0 DB and -3Db I set it at -3db for now. I am till waiting for my sub to arrive. I got a Alpine SWR-T10 10" 1800W 4-Ohm Type-R Shallow-Mount Car Audio Subwoofer. I will take your advice thank You

Yes!. Since your subwoofer is powered I believe it may be possible?. I wish I had a better answer. If you have a Best Buy near you check with one of their installers. They sell and install these amps, and they should be able to tell you. Even I'm curious now?. From what I was reading if you have a Honda the ANC has to be disconnected. Active Noise Cancellation. It interferes with these subs. I have never listened to these speakers, but the JBL 6x9's are rated number 1. I have listened to the Infinity Primus 6.5 and was impressed rated number 2. The biggest problem for me is the frequency response with so many of the 6.5 speakers. Some are a little bass heavy. IMO the fronts need to be a little higher in the frequency ranges. This can be hard to accomplish with a 6.5 easier with a 4x6. Depends on the car, and what sound any one of us is trying to put together? .........This amp will work with 2ohm and 4ohm. The infinity is 3ohm. The Jbl's are 60wt so you'll be getting all the power to these speakers, plus you have sensitivity at 92db, plus the 2ohm should give you a 100% push. Just be careful on the volume, at 2ohm at low volume these should play plenty loud. You did good with your selection. Enjoy!. This amp is 180w total output, or 45w per speaker at 2ohms or 4ohms. It can also be bridged for 2 speakers only at 90w each speaker. Sounds like you have knowledge of good sound. 100 RMS is perfect. I'm sure you know this but I was just looking these up. Here's the specs on these JBL's.........*6-1/2"/6-3/4" Grand Touring Series 3-Way Car Speaker System *Power Handling: &#9702;Peak: 360 watts per set / 180 watts each side &#9702;RMS: 120 watts per set / 60 watts each side *Patent pending Plus One woofer cones *Mylar/titanium composite dome tweeters *Can be safely powered by any headunit *Sensitivity: 92 dB *2 ohms impedance *Frequency response: 50-21,000 Hz

That's all in the "ear" of the beholder. I matched my JBL with a couple of older Bose front speakers we had and then puchased a set of Klipsch rear speakers I got a great deal on. It sounds good to myself and my family. I think you would need to purchsase the JBL and see (Listen) for yourself. If it doesn't meet your needs (Sound good with the primus speakers) then send it back. But I've been happy with it.
