TS-A1682S. these are the ones i'm running (two i've had for 4 years, 2 for about 1 year, so the older models, but the same, just look different :p)

They are clear throughout the range and can go very loud.

They just don't sound very good compared to other brands in the same price range... Very treble heavy and average midbass. Even with sealed and deadened doors they didn't sound very good.

But it depends on your taste... Some people might like a lot of midrange and treble and use 6x9's or something to make up for the crappy midbass output. You can compensate for their downfalls but you might as well buy better sounding speakers in the first place :)

Unfortunately, a sub won't fill in the lacking midbass. A sub should be limited to sub 100Hz, the problem with these speakers seems to be above 100Hz. They're not worth spending the money on them. I'd have to say the Pioneer yellow cone coaxials (TS-D161S) sound better.
