Strengths:
sensitivity, price

Weaknesses:
don't overpower much

Summary:
Very high sensitivity. enough said. good bang for dollar. Kappa perfect has higher sensitivity, better sound, but at twice the price. Move plenty of air.

rockford jl mtx- higher sensitivity, louder sound with the same watts of power.

Strengths:
high sensitivity, nice rubber surrounds, nice sounding cone.

Weaknesses:
aren't any if you use it as it should be, (for quality, not absolute bass heads)

Summary:
these can be bought pretty cheap, and will the sound will be worth every penny. the sensitivity will make both rockford and MTX take a bow to the JBL's. they will pound out the bass, but i wouldn't recomment them for a competition car. they also have good excursion, and other properties. the rubber surrount looks tough enough to survive a beating, and the treated spruce pulp cone sound warm and smooth.
