This is also posted under "door speakers"... I'm just anxious for advice!
Here goes: Just installed one of the rx67 Boston Acoustics... and guess what?
It barely works, (at least with my stock system) Sounds muffled, can barely hear the vocals, and I'm not exaggerating.
That surprised the hell out of me.
The reason I know it's not good... I still have one stock door speaker that is fine. And I used it to compare. The Boston was so low, and so muffled, the tweeter was BLOWING it out.
Seconds later I hooked the stocker back in and you could actually hear words! I did this at least 5 times, just to make sure.
Just an fyi, I intentionally broke apart the plastic stock harness part that comes from the door hole... keeping the metal female prongs. That way, I could quickly hook it up to either the boston, or stock speaker. That's why I could quickly tell which one worked without soldering, etc.
Does anyone know why the boston can barely be heard? The dude at "classic stereo" assured me, it would be good.
The boston that I bought is the rx67... sale price $130.
Box says: 6.5 inch, (maximum music power=160 watts, peak input power=80 watts, continuous input power=40 watts, Frequency =Response: 55-20,000 Hz)
I plan to take them back on Monday, or sooner!
