Why are the PWX 6.5's so cheap?

also from the looks of it it seems like the crescendos have a similar design to the pro series beymas.. they do lack on the highs.. but a pair of super tweeters will make them sound great

WTF????

so you want to pay like 200 for a ˝nice˝ speaker??

come one man....its not like if some piece is cheap its not a good qualitiy....i love my pyles pro 6.5 they get loud and clear...for a cheap speaker

Really? I mean... really?

That's like saying all the girls in the playboy mansion and a fat chick who sucks dick for poptarts are the same thing.

I would think the fat chick would try harder, but both would get the job done. Personally, id take one from the mansion myself, but still....

woman..cant live with em...cant shoot em...guess were all fucked

You might be a Redneck if you use your leftover gutters for a speaker box port...

I had a chance to use both the 4ohm and 8 ohm over the past week.

Quality wise, I was very impressed with the build of them. Nice fit and finish to them. Build wise, the push terms are one of the most annoying items I have ever dealt with in a speaker. They actually sit out further then the cutout for the basket. If you mount them in a baffle deeper then 1/2' you will have clearance issues with them/ Would of been nice to see them parallel with the basket and not sticking out as they are. Being the tabs are mounted on a case frame, you are fucked to move them. I ended up making a set with direct leads to solve our install issue.

Sound wise, they are a typical PA mid. They have very little impact under 250hz and started to fall quite a bit about 5k. It seams to be difficult to find any PA driver to give a solid performance under 280hz. I found them to be better crossed at 315 to 5k. Like most PA drivers, you will need to cut the 1k-1.8k hard to take the screech out of them. The Seleniums I use are no different. Slope wise, the harder I cut them, the more they sounded like computer speakers. If I kept them closer to a 6 - 12db slope, they did very well. 30db was all bad.

Overall I think they more then do the job for what people are looking for them to do. Get super loud cheaply. I think paired with a solid tweeter crossed over around 4k they can make most people happy in the price range they are in.

not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. :)
