Query: Huge dissappointment

These speakers seemed like a good deal for in dash 5x7's. Unfortunately the sound quality was below the quality I had hoped for (and I was expecting much). Very flat sound overall.After 3 days of use one of the speakers developed a crackle which has forced me to stop using them all together. These speakers were hooked directly to the head unit and not powered by an amplifier. These speakers saw 40Watts peak. The speakers were played at the normal "cruising" level and the bass was about 1/2 way up. Considering the supposed power handling the speakers should not have had any problems. In the end I wish I had not purchased them and would recommend against others purchasing them.On a side note - the speakers do not mount flush. The center mid/tweet are raised above the mounting surface. I was expecting them to mount flush.
