I put mine in today, and my initial impression was one of slight disappointment. There was a hollow sound and I found myself reaching for EQ. Vocals sounded a bit odd. Quick RTA showed 500Hz was down, but I'm not totally sure at this point it's solely the drivers themselves. Might be the way they're playing with the truck. I also noticed that they don't seem as efficient as the Anarchy's I took out, seems like they both handle more and require more power to get loud. Seemed like the snap of a snare drum was more in your face though, I did like that.


Regardless, I only have about 45 minutes on them, so I will definitely give them some time. Both of the symptoms I've described will almost definitely subside after break in. I also only have them on like 30W or so, temp amp right now until my Ground Zero amps get here. I'm excited to see what they hold in store. I will be revisiting the Anarchy's in another month or two, and do a true side-by-side with both broken in well.


Here's another review where the initial symptoms were also seen, and disappeared after some listening: http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/member-reviews-product-comparisons/180162-average-joe-review-stereo-integrity-tm65.html

"Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now. It's like witchcraft... it automatically explains just about everything people don't understand.

Thanks man. =/

Seriously interested in some nice shallow mounts. Not saying I expected great results/opinions right out the bag but was hoping they impressed you, lol....oh well. I feel as though 30 watts isn't enough as you have stated. Truly appreciate the info, and am looking forward to further reviews of these from you.

I will say that the snap of the snare in Touch, Peel, and Stand really surprised me, was a much more concussive snap. I don't believe I gave these the right conditions for a proper review yet, so I guess take everything with a grain of salt. That being said, conditions are the same as the Anarchys they replaced.
