Strength:

mid-bass/Bass sharp highs low-to-no distortion

Weakness:

Can bottom out with too much amp power or too low of a frequency

I've had these speakers for over 6 months. Before choosing what I wanted for my rear speakers, I researched for months. site after site, store after store, rep after rep, model after model. Focal hadn't yet hit any physical stores in my area but I heard nothing negative about them. No friends had them and I never listened to them before purchase, but I gambled. The gamble paid off. Not only did I get an amazing pair of speakers for an unbelievable price, I have never heard anything with such authority and power. I'd listened to Infinity Kappa 4x6s for a while, they just didn't do it. They smoked and bottomed out on mid-bass if you fed them too much power. When I got these, I took time to break them in just right. for the first month all I had was deck power from a Kenwood Excelon. Now they're powered by an Audiobahn amp sending 75w RMS to each speaker and led by an Alpine HU. The sound is unmatched. Clean highs, EXCELLENT mid-bass, and no so little distortion i can't even tell it's there. (Honestly, only distortion I hear is the rattle of the rear deck it's on and the vent b/c the speaker rattled one of the pop rivets loose!). An unfortunate not however is I have managed to make these bottom out if sent frequencies under 100Hz. Too much power can do it too. In addition to these speakers, for the best result, I put them in 6x9 sealed boxes. I highly recommend boxes for the best response and cancelled distortion.

Model Reviewed: 690 CA

Strength:

Even frequency response. Nice warm midrange. Great mid bass. Nice high frequency extension.Very efecient.

Weakness:

None for the price.

I am writing this review in hopes that it may help someone who is undecided on whether or not this is the right speaker for them. Although I have only had these speakers for a short while I can say with certainty that these speakers are great for almost everyone. It has a very warm sound to the midrange with tight mid bass, and smooth high frequency response. Some may find the tweeter a tad bright, but it is not scratchy as some metal dome tweeters can be, instead it is quite smooth.This speaker is very efecient and fed about 100 watts it gets really loud. even at high volumes this speaker still retains its great sound.I have installed mobile car audio for 14 years now and in my opinion this is one of the best 6x9s ever made. I hope this review was helpful for someone.
