These have a very harsh midrange. Unless you have a good 7-band or so EQ to tame the problem frequencies, I'd stay away from these. Yes, they do get pretty dang loud and the woofers can handle quite a bit of power, but you're going active so you have a huge selection of drivers. Spend an extra $30-40 and you'll be WAY happier. How many drivers do you plan on using, BTW?
