I think they have plenty of bass. Guess it depends on what you're listening to. Hard rock/heavy metal sounds great. But if you're listening to (c)rap and want the distortion, maybe not for you.

These are small speakers so bass will be limited. However, after a month or so of breaking them in you be surprised at how much bass there is. And, they are bigger than you expect, but they are still small speakers - do not expect window-rattling bass.

For their size they have good bass. Keep in mind you will never have window rattling lows from any speaker this size. I am very content with them. Get yourself a subwoofer if you really seek thump.

From what I've read and personal experience, these speakers do not excel at bass output, but also depends on their location relative to the surrounding walls. They simply are not very large and they especially don't put out much bass if you have them on a bookshelf or other place where there is a wall directly behind them. It seems that they are designed to be able to put out some bass only if you have several inches or even a couple feet of open space behind them, so if they'll sound better sitting on the floor out in the open than on a bookshelf.

At $125.00 a pair you should be happy with the sound quality of this model.These speakers can and do work better with higher wattage-especially if you want to get the bass out of them.If you're going to be playing them at low volume levels you'll be dissapointed in the bass unless you have a 'loudness' button that can be kicked on for low volume listening-or high volume listening.Most vintage amps/receivers that I've owned do have a loudness button feature.I also miss the built in 3-way tone control offered on vintage amps. Mid-range has been removed from most all newer-digital amps/receivers. And I see no reason why for this engineering decision. A.A.Stone, Jax. FL.

did you install with the correct wiring, is the volume control have lights on? put in the midle and your stereo too! this speaker is low sound because it is not an standard speakers they pick up only the Bass of the music.

There not bad just not very loud. They might be louder if there not hooked up to a amp mine are but there also paired up with 6.5 bass infernos loud speakers. When you have loud speakers you really don't even need tweeters.

Mine's ok. I don't use them as my primary speakers though and I don't mind. I'd suggest getting some good portable speakers (possibly bluetooth...).

Anyone who's heard "great" bass from a speaker of this size hasn't heard many good speakers. I have yet to find a speaker for under $80 that can play "down-under" meaningful bass. Some simulate a "loud" boomy bass-effect in the 100 Hz range, but it's physically impossible for any speaker of this size to play authentic bass frequencies, such as those at 20 Hz.

I think it's tough to get truly good bass from a 4" speaker. There's bass, but it isn't amazing. For me, still a major improvement over the worn out stock 4" speakers I replaced.

I put these in my 1999 Celica and they seem to make the factory system sound great. Of course the former speakers were blown. Bass is punchy and pretty damn good for door speakers. I think the system lacks some in the mid range, but the rear speakers are still a little dodgy and replacing them will probably do the trick. Note the factory speakers were impeadance 2 ohm and 25 watt. These are very different rated and only experimentation would demonstrate a superb speaker through comparison. I am pleased with the sound and the price. I would rather some infinity speakers but I might pay 3 times more and get only a little better sound, plus I didn't find any 8" ones, and these were a steal.

Probably, they are very small, not sure about height, they ARE worth the effort, I have four of them on the dash of the Explorer. You need a receiver which will adjust the frequency bands, I always use Pioneer with USB capability. The sound is not tin-ny, brittle like Sonys, Polk is the best sounding tweeter, you will enjoy what they do, you want to hear more highs and they give them, really filling the music. You may also consider the low's with a small output unit behind the seat (or elsewhere) such as a low power Alpine. Just enough base fill. Check Google you may find the size of your current OEM speakers, Polk will give the size of theirs . Good Luck. I play everything from Hendrix to Folk, some Jazz and some female solo singers, I enjoy my drive.

well, it's really hard to say. i never heard of these speakers until now. i reviewed them on youtube and i'm ipressed. how they will sound with this amp is a mistery to me. but, try to find info on-line of people who use these speakers for music. sorry i can't help anymore than that. happy hunting. but, if these speakers are amplified i would'nt recommended it. you'll probably blow them. thanks...aj..

They are no so bass heavy as to creat distortion with pop or rock. It's just relative to the M-100s I think they have a bias toward the bass end of the sound spectrum. There is no distortion, just the beautiful sound no matter what type of music you're listening to.

That is a hard question for me because when I got the speakers they handled the 2400 power but they sound bad.so put more power to them and blew them to bits. I ended up replacing them( with the same box of corse) with jbl sub woffers just wasn't what I was lookin for

1200 for 2@ 350 watts ea on one channel or 2, and is this going to be as I call it "Thumpin" as in low bass sound only or are they involved with other speakers if not, then if your going to run ea speaker on it own channel you should have more than enough, just adjust the levels so that you don't over drive them. They should sound fine. Also are your 10" speakers KFC-W2513PS, and not kfc-w2153p, again either way you should have enough to push them speakers to the beat.

JBuds J2 sound ok. To me it fills like your missing part of the sound with them. The bass isnt full and cant hear the hi hat on the drums. Im gonna try the V-MODA next to find some better earbuds

The bass is descent for the size of the speaker, as long as you have sufficient power going into them, I drive them with old school 85 RMS - 300 peak amp is dialed back to about 3/4 and the perform extremely well.
