I was surprised by this little speaker. The high frequency sounds are nice and clear, while it still pumps out an impressive amount of bass for something so small. I wasn't expecting nearly the performance from this product but I have to say I'm pleased with it.

Got these to replace the bose speakers on a Porsche cayenne. Good replacements.Make sure you get them from Hardware X Supply seller. I had to order the speaker 5 times. Only two arrived correctly (2.5 inch). Other sellers will send you the 3-inch. Not sure why it took so many tries.
