I've heard of them, but they've always seemed like a Walmart brand to me.
Doesn't mean they might not sound good, just never struck me as a recognized brand.

^ Agreed. I don't actually have experience with them, but they wouldn't be my first choice just because there are so many others. Why not Pioneer 6x9's too?

I know back in the day when Lightning audio started out being sold at Best Buy they were selling it as Rockford Fosgates spin off brand that wasn't as high of quality, but it would work for a guy on a budget. I have always held it in the same level as Jensen, Dual, and Pyle. If you aren't and audiophile I think it will work fine. Audio1der does bring up a good point why not the pioneer 6x9's should be close to the same price and IMO they are better quality.

Mephis is a pretty good brand. I liked their subs in a buddies grand prix.
