Price Paid:  $130.00

Year / Model Reviewed:
 2001

Summary:
Decided to upgrade my front speakers and went to listen to Nakamichi SP-C651 6.5 coaxials and to my surprise ended up with the Bazooka RS-600 coaxials.I did about a one hour demo as both were side by side on the demo board and was literally blown away with the Bazooka"s.Listened to Stevie Ray Vaughn and a jazz cd and some FM stations and on everything the Bazooka's had much more impact.Also listened to some Diamond's which sounded constricted and lifeless in comparison.The Nakamichi speaker was also excellent with a slightly more refined sound but the Bazooka's are better for dynamics which is what you need in a vehicle.Don't get me wrong;the bazooka's are no overly bright speaker which a lot of people are fooled by.They are accurate in the mids,highs and dynamically superior to everything i ever listened too.At their price of 130.00 They are ridiculously good.Before you get new speakers you have to at least listen to these.

Strengths:
Dynamics,mids,highs.Good accuracy.

Weaknesses:
None that i can tell.

All the usual suspects.For the price Bazooka"s blow them away.

Summary:
I always thought that Bazooka only made Bass Tubes, but they did their homework with the components. They sound great and are easy to install. My competition Grand Prix had them up front and Bazooka Coax in the rear. They handled their own against all the name brands in the business. You bet ya I would recommend them to anybody. Sure there might be better out there, but for the price, ease of install, and quality, there isn't much better out there I know of.

Strengths:
The sound quality is great. The installation is effortless(well, almost). They look great too!

Weaknesses:
Could use a little more low end, but teamed up with a good sub, they are studio quality. Also, why did they not have gold plated terminals on the x-overs, I don't know.
