Question Is this even worth doing? (speakers)

Hi folks. I was on craigslist and came upon this ad. I really dunno if I should spend my 10 bucks on this or just ignore it and move on.

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/pts/134983626.html

I do realize that for some reason everyone hates the brand dual but seriously, for 10 bucks, will i get anything better than what i get with my stock system? The headunit that i'm running is a stock gen 4.5 double din cd/cassette with a built in amo so its pretty nice sounding actually...

-thanks!

Don't bother with them. Save up some more money and get something better. I don't htink there would be much difference between these and stock.

The specs aren't that good. The range of the frequency response seems limited for its size. Even though you probably won't hear 20KHz or higher, the response of the speaker likely starts dropping off earlier than 20KHz.

The efficiency, 87dB isn't that great esp. if you are running it with a stock head unit. Try to find something with 90dB or better if you won't run an amp. 87dB is only 70.7% as efficient as a speaker that is rated 90dB.

if your current speakers aren't busted and you don't need something right away, i say you save up for some decent ones

I bought WalMart Pioneers for my Corolla... and the 17 year old stock speakers sounded better! I can only imagine Dual... <shudders>
