Strengths:
The brushed stainless steel baskets and blue zirconium cones give these units a very unique look. Sound quality compares to some subs I've heard that were twice the price.

Weaknesses:
Watch out for sharp edges on the baskets. Could use better quality terminals. Not to sure they will take the the 250 watts they're rated for.

Summary:
Beleive it or not, I bought a pair of these subs based on the cosmetics and Soundstream's reputation alone; something you should never do. I figured they'd sound ok though. Boy, was I suprised when I hooked them up. The sound quality was much better then I expected from subs at this price range. They blow away my buddy's Bazooka ELW1214's.
