Important Note

Watts: The guaranteed long term power rating throughout the usable frequency range of the speaker.

(Translation: the speaker will operate continuously at any frequency within the speakers specified frequency range when driven at this power. The "Watts" rating is similar to RMS, but is really more indicative of long term thermal capability.)

Music Program: The speaker will safely and reliably handle the varying frequencies of musical content at this power rating. The "Music Program" rating is more indicative of what you can expect in the real world with the speaker operating within the appropriate enclosure reproducing music or vocal audio program.

Very pleased! I am going to get another. I bought this 8 ohm driver to replace a 4 ohm one in an old Peavey powered monitor system. I was shocked to find that, although it was a bit quieter, the quality of the sound was better. I still had tons of headroom. Also, the speaker I removed weighed about 10 pounds more. So... The system sounds better, is lighter and it only cost a few bucks. Excellent packaging and the speaker looks like it will last. I could not be happier. Did I say that?

Sound

For an inexpensive speaker, it worked perfectly!

Features

It's a speaker... How many features could itnhave?

Ease of Use

Bolt, plug and play. Perfect!

Quality

Again, for an inexpensive driver, I was surprised in a very positive way.

Value

Excellent quality and sound.

Manufacturer Support

None required so far.
