[QUOTE="pyfocal, post: 8614917, member: 579632"] I had a set of these in my first car. A 69 Dodge Coronet 440. I had the Pioneer Supertuner cassette with the round dial. They were amazingly loud for a 6x9. I'm guessing they were built like a pro audio speaker. I say this because I didn't know anything about pro audio then but I have heard a lot of it lately and have some myself. I bought them at a local record store/stereo shop. They were a lot like a good 6.5 pa speaker would sound today. The amps couldn't have been too powerful but it wouldn't take that many watts to get loud. They also did seem to project sound a long way. From 30 or 40 yards away you could hear them clearly. I can't speak exactly about sound quality as a lot of time has passed and memory is a funny fleeting thing. I have scan speak 6004's, 10f's and ES-06's in my truck on the new soundstream ref amps from a few years back and a Dayton HO 12 on a Zapco 750.2 bridged. I can tell you I can turn off the sub and the mind blowers would be very pale in comparison to just the three way. But I'll never forget the smile on my face when I got those mind blowers hooked up the first time ! So I feel I can know how advanced and how good my equipment is today but still get a big kick out of my memories of the mind blowers. [/QUOTE]
