Summary:
They sound very clear even off my aftermarket deck, haven't heard them off of an amp yet so can't comment on that. You'll get better mid-bass if you dynamat the area behind and around the speaker. They're really cheap on ebay, and for the price, the sound quality is too just too tempting to waste money on more expensive newer speakers

Strengths:
Clarity Mid-bass Highs Swiveling tweeter Rubber boot covering magnet

Weaknesses:
Nothing to compare to

Summary:
I recently replaced my infinity 5.25" speakers with these bad boys. Let me tell you, if you're into good sound, these are the speakers for you. I have listened to many other speakers...Alpine, Kenwood, Pioneer, Polk, Infinity, etc...and none of them even come close to the precision and perfection of sound that the Diamond Audio M351i (Integrated 5.25" speakers) These speakers run at a whopping 40-80 Watts Root Mean Square power (RMS) but still sound great on an aftermarket deck. But when you power these babies up with an amplifier, you won't believe that they are actually as small as they are. Its incredible. The rotating tweet in the middle allows you to aim the sound where you wish, and the rubber surrounds on the woofer, allow for undistorted sound that can't be matched. There is a built in crossover, so the sound is coming out clear as a bell.

Strengths:
-40-80 watts RMS -Good mid-bass -crisp, clear highs -Undistorted sound (even at high volumes) -Sound great amplified -Considerably inexpensive for the quality of the speaker

Weaknesses:
None - The item is flawless

I'm using a Kenwood KAC-749S 4-channel amplifier to power these speakers and my JBL Power 6x9's. The amplifier runs 40Wx4 @ 4ohms. With a built in croosover, every nook and cranny of the sound is at your command.

Summary:
I was looking for rear speakers for my K5 Blazer and I ran across a great deal on these. The sound quality is amazing. I'm running them off my Soundstream 4-channel, so they get 60 watts. I was so impressed I bought Diamond components for my fronts! Diamond Audio is Awesome stuff!

Strengths:
Sound quality can't be beat, They will handle 60 watts RMS no problem! High quality speaker!

Weaknesses:
None.
