i love the look of these speakers because they match my interior (they're the yellow ones with the sweet lookin sliver grills) but are they all show and no go???? i've heard a pair of components from pioneer before and thought they sounded pretty d*mn good for the price... any ideas or opinions on these? Thanks

a while ago i emailed jose perez(an IASCA judge) and asked him a few ?'s abou the rev series. here is how he responded.
"All I know of them was from a car I judged at the IASCA regionals in West Virgina a week and a half ago. They were in the kick panels of a Dodge Dakota. They wer aimed basically perpendicular to the floor but angled towards the opposite listener. The guy had a Memphis sticker on the truck so I'm assuming he's running their amps. He had a small 5 band EQ in the dash and a pair of rack mounts in the center console.
They were very live sounding and ambient. There was no harshness or thin-ness that you usually find in inexpensive tweets and the horns were natural sounding and not at all nasally. Midrange tonality was strong as well and the midbass presense was very punchy but I believe he also had a sub in his center console that was helping him along. i hope this helps."
this doesnt sound like all show no go to me.

Yup I sure did say that and still stand behind those words. Are they the second coming in speakers? Probably not but they are a fine set of drivers and deserve to be listened to in the same company as Quart, Focal, Polk, ID, etc.
Trust me I didn't like saying it either the first time but hey the truth is the truth is the truth.
