Under seat speakers

Anyone try these under seat speakers from Custom Autosound? I know their radios get a bad rap, but I don't know if their speakers fare any better. Other under seat options?

Thanks

Re: Under seat speakers

I've seen these, but haven't heard of any reviews.

Soundstream offers an under the seat amplified sub. That's route I'll probably go.

Re: Under seat speakers

I have a pair in my C20. They are OK....nothing to brag about. Sound is muffled because they project straight up into the seat.....

Re: Under seat speakers

I just bought a pair of 6.5" speakers and made two small mounts for them out of mdf. They fit ok, but 5.5" ones would be easier to place. If you want subwoofers then JL makes a pretty decent 6.5" subwoofer as well. Those powered subs really don't sound good at all.

Re: Under seat speakers

In my CST, I have two 6x9 speakers mounted in wedge shaped enclosures under the seat and they sound real good. You do have to give up the wire or cable under the seat for adjustment but it works OK for me since I leave it all the way back.
