I dont have them personally, but after looking at the specs and reviews they look pretty good for the price you paid. I myself like rockford phosgates. The only speakers ill install and only subs i will get as well.

I actually got an even better deal!!! Went on eBay, saw an open box with a best offer option and got another full set for $83!!! So I basically paid for one set and I got two out of the deal! Looks like I'm putting tweeters in the back too, lol. I love RF and actually looking at one of their amps now. I'm a buy the best I can get for as low as I can get them kinda guy. I got two brand new type Rs 12" for $320 and an HD 3k taramps pushing them. This is my first build so everything is budget but decent stuff

Nice! Love those open box deals, I got my infinity dash 3. 5s open box and jbl power series 6x9s open box, saved a lot. Even got a ax dsp and Amp pro ch41 open box for over 1/2 off. Those 7 inch Kenwood are very cool, fit in 6x9 spot, even better. I have some 6.5 Kenwood 2 ohm(we're high end a few years ago) left over, going in front doors. If I didn't already have them, those 7 inch would be on my list. Right now on Amazon infinity kappa 1200w 500rms 12s selectable impedance(2 or 4ohm)are $99, good deal, used to be $200, think they are coming out with new model. I bought 2 and put in yesterday, need to break them in, but they sound very accurate and have nice sound quality. I am all about a deal and not affriad of open box, never got a bad open box item yet. Sound deaden those doors and use layer of closed cell foam for those 7s. Those with the type Rs should sound excellent. I'm thinking about a new sub Amp, I don't need anything crazy, really like the brutal sounds 20.1, but would need to upgrade my subs to like 1,000 rms + each and is just not worth it to me, seen that Amp dyno at like 2700 watts at 91% efficient, even at 1600 watts, is same amps as my current 1,000 watt Amp. I really only need a 1,200-1,500 watt Amp or just be happy with what I have. How is that tramps, I know they use totally different internals than Korean type amps, but never heard one in person.

The taramps throws out every bit of their stated output.. if it say 3k, it's putting that out.. crazy because it does so using only a 4 gauge wire... Boggles the mind. They're cheap AF for what you get and it shows clipping so it takes the guess work out of it so you don't clip your subs to death.. I'm going to Brazil in a few mths and I'm gonna pick up a CPL of their MD lines. You don't have to upgrade your subs, just turn the gain down. Your amp will run nice and cool
