Silk dome gives music a nice sound, can listen to rock music for hourse without getting any fatigue.

Require lots of power, sensitivity should be a bit higher.

I had kenwoods in the fron before. They were quite harsh. These rockfords have a nice smooth sound to them. I am powering them with a kenwood 40x4 amplifier. The inputs on the amp are almost all the way up. But they still sound good. Im going to buy a pair for the rear as well.

Goog bass, shakes the car, amazing sound

These speakers are awesome. With great sounding bass and treble, these speakers turned my car stock cd player into an expensive sounding one. With these speakers in the front of my car and 3-way pioneer 6" in the back, my car is loud and full of clear sounding bass!

Good bass and treble, very clear at low to moderate volumes.

The highs can get a little to strong at times.

I listened to numerous speakers before choosing the Rockford Fosgate HPC1206. The specifications listed for the HPC1206 is a little misleading. These speakers are for anybody looking for great sound without installing an elaborate and expensive car stereo. I found that they performed better in the bass, treble and sensitivity than speakers that list better specifications. The listed bass response is 76hz but I have a pair of polk components that are listed at 50hz and the HPC's beat them soundly. The Polk's are listed at 92db sensitivity and the HPC's are listed at 89db yet the HPC's are actually louder. They do distort somewhat at higher volume but most of my listening is at low to mid volume. I am driving my whole system from an MTX thunder204 amp and JVC double din deck. The system is installed in a 97 Camry with infinity kappa 6x9's in the rear deck. The HPC1206's can usually be found in the $70 - $100 making them a little high for coaxials but much cheaper than components.

VERY loud, tight bass, warm highs.

Upper-highs exhibit a little bit of dissonance: "S" sounds are not life-like, but this is pretty common, and not noticeable to the untrained ear.

I am driving these speakers with only a high-end Alpine head unit (the ones with the rotating knobs; 45-watts X 4 peak), and wanted near-audiophile quality speakers without spending a lot of money. I have a budget audiophile stereo system at home (NAD Amp, Marantz CD Player, Paradigm speakers), so it IS possible to listen to great music without spending a lot of money. Also, I was willing to spend above $125-150, but I didn't want component speakers -- my car doesn't have factory tweeter-sockets built in, and installation-costs would have exceeded my budget.

JBL's are good for the money, but I wanted to upgrade. A friend of mine has the same unit, driving Infinity reference co-axials, and they get distorted at high volumes. Although I love my Alpine head-unit, their speakers have bad chemistry with their head units; highs are uncomfortably sharp at loud volumes! Polk's did not produce enough bass for my tastes. Eclipse's coaxials sounded pretty good, but not loud enough. JL Audio's coaxials had sound quality in the mids and highs comparable to the Rockfords, but the Rockfords blew them away with bass that is, though equally tight, much louder.
