Real world speakers
MTX doesn't make speakers that only deliver the goods in a sound lab. These affordable 2-way speakers feature a 5-1/4” durable polypropylene cone with a rubber surround that'll shrug off the weather and wear that come with living in your car full-time. Depending how low you need to mount the coaxials, you can swivel the soft dome tweeters up to 15 degrees in your direction to really dial in the stereo imaging across your dash.
While no car speaker can produce bass like a large subwoofer, these speakers truly shine in the lower frequencies. With up to 45 watts RMS of power handling, you can add to their impressive depth and richness when you power them with an outboard amplifier. MTX includes black metal mesh grilles in plastic frames for custom installations, and the 2-year warranty really makes these Thunder52 speakers a smart buy.

Product Research
Features
Woofer Cones: The MTX Thunder Series speakers feature durable and rigid polypropylene woofer cones. Polypropylene is also resistant to the moisture and temperature extremes found in automotive applications.
Tweeters: Each speaker features a 1" treated silk dome tweeter. Silk is lightweight and great for high frequency extension and efficiency. The tweeters pivot slightly within their housings (approximately 15° in any direction), so they can be angled toward the listeners to improve imaging.

I just installed these in my 2005 Chevy crew cab. I had Kicker speakers in there previously that I purchased from Crutchfield, and although they sounded great, they blew quickly. These seem to be holding up well so far and the sound quality is so much better!
