Features
Balanced Dome Tweeter: Each speaker has a PEI (Poly-Ether-Imide) balanced dome tweeter. PEI is a polymer film that produces a wide soundstage for superior imaging. A semi-dome tweeter has a dome placed inside a cone; balanced dome tweeters are semi-dome tweeters with equal reproduction area given the cone and dome portions of the tweeter.

My Jeep sounded like the speakers were blown from the day I got it. I put the new speakers in with ease thanks to Crutchfield's easy directions. What a difference when we turned on the radio. We had bass, treble and a lot more clarity. Amazing compared to the factory speakers that were in there.
