hmmm,

Looking for front speakers?

Ideally i would suggest 6" splits but the specs on those looks ok. At the end of the day you get what you pay for, so since ive never had any experience with rockwood i cant comment.

But i would imagine they would do the job, but depending on how fussy you are you may or may not find them to be ordinary.

yeah…..looking for front speakers but not really fussy as long as they perform better than the stock ones which I have now. Saw a clarion 5x7 at auto barn for $160 then came across the cheap rockwood.!! I have separate dome tweeters which I run with the separate cross over.

rockwood = wants to sound like rockford + kennword ; quality = 0/10 points. 33$ is 33$ too much

Yer... You are meant to spend the most on your front speakers, or so they say. I wouldn't expect much quality coming out of them for 33$. Better off picking up something cheap at JB HIFI or something. Splits in the front are always nice, i have a set of 5x7 Kicker splits and even running off the head unit they sound insane.
