Here is a mini review since I really haven't had much time to play around with them installed.
My sister wanted new speakers for her car and so I designed a very budget minded system for her. Including these Goldwood 7" poly woofers for the front mids, and the dayton neo tweet.
I chose this mid because it was cheap, 4ohm, had good t/s specs for a car door install, and is a poly cone. I took out her stock mids and made some baffles out of MDF and mounted this in her undeadened door. I then hooked up the mid to 2 channels of a Directed ikesound refurb amp, pushing 50x2@4ohms and highpassed them at ~60hz 12db.
(She was going on a road trip so I had to pull an all nighter to get this job done, so once it was functional she had to take off with it). So I fired up the system, and I was very impressed. From the little I played with them they performed very nicely in the midbass department at least, and the SQ was def 10x better than stock. She didnt have any SQ type material handy, so I had to settle with Fort Minor.
If you need a mid on a tight budget, be it for yourself, or a friend or family member, I recommend these. You don't need much power on them, they work real well in a car door, poly cones are known be very acceptable w/ little tuning, and they are hella cheap! You can put together a sweet front stage for real cheap with these mids and the dayton neo tweets. I was able to push these mids to thier limits easily with 50watts each, so becareful.
Oh yeah, and she likes them too.. she says "they bump" :)
