I was completely replacing the audio system in my '98 Chevy Silverado and looking for high-quality sound, but also needing to adhere to specific size requirements. Because I wanted to use the OE factory mounting locations, and retain OE factory appearance, component size was critical. I chose the Recoil REM65 system, because the components were a good fit- I appreciate the inclusion of highly-specific measurements in the product listing....but ALSO because Recoil was one of the very few budget-minded models to include a comprehensive set of specifications for the actual audio capabilities of their speaker system. I truly appreciate that. At this price point, I was skeptical about whether the components would be true to the specs, but my concern was unwarranted. Overall, this is a very good, inexpensive speaker system, and I am impressed. Component quality is quite high, with fit and finish looking very professional. The components come nicely packaged, and fully-understandable instructions are included. Fasteners are provided, for installation of the mid-bass drivers, however spade connectors and wiring is not. The passive crossovers feature a tweeter output jumper, under the cover, allowing for one of three output selections: -2db, reference (no attenuation), or +2db. This setting can be particularly useful, depending on the mounting location of the tweeter in your vehicle... such as using the "+2db" setting if your speakers are low on the door, versus using the "-2db" setting if your tweeters are high on the A-pillar, or in the corners of the dash-directly under the windshield. In my case, the tweeters mount at the mid-line of the door, in a contour line angled at the listener, so the "reference" setting was perfect. As for sound quality, again this speaker system impresses. These speakers are really designed for, and work best as part of a system which has a separate subwoofer. The drivers are rated as, and the included 2-way passive crossovers are attenuated to provide solid mid-base, while delivering good presence, and smooth high frequency output. Together with a properly crossed over sub, this system delivers excellently balanced output with impressive stereo imaging, and no perceptable frequency roll-off. These speakers sound clear, natural, and well-balanced... they are very musical across a wide variety of musical styles from jazz, to pop, to electronic, to rock. This system is very pleasant to listen to, especiallyduring extended drives- there is no listener fatigue, caused by excessive brashness, or over-accentuated sibilance. Equally important, the component materials seem very durable, and I expect these speakers to last for quite some time. Power ratings are true, as well... these 50-watt per channel speakers play distortion-free up through the full-power output of the 30-watt per channel amp I am using to drive them.So, at this point you're asking why I only rated these speakers as "3-star"? Customer service is where this product falls short. After I installed and tested my new speaker system, I noted a slight difference in the midrange (presence) of one channel (in my install, the right side) versus, the other. After rechecking all my connections, and swapping components from side to side, I finally determined that one of the passive crossovers was the culprit, causing excessive midrange attention. So, I followed the provided instructions, writing a detailed email message to Recoil customer support, and.... after three weeks, have heard NOTHING. I have re-sent my message twice, with no reply. I would be happy to purchase the replacement crossover component, but no-one ever even responded to my request for assistance. This is a major disappointment, which prevents me from recommending this product. That saddens me, because this really is an excellent speaker system, and I'm pretty sure I just got a "one in a million" defective component- a situation which could, and SHOULD be easily remedied... if only there was someone at the customer service department.
