I finally got my SWAGs. Hooked them up in series to one channel of my 100w Sherwood for a few hours while I had some other projects to work on. Once the tweeters "warm up" they are nice. Not as nice as my JBL's, but I digress. A/B'ed them against my Polk audio db's...sure they are louder, but don't sound as good. They get that horrible voice resonance fart-out at high volume, when the Polks keep going. Tried messing with the EQ and curves... Guess they're not going in the Jeep doors - I'll keep my water-logged $60 Polks in there.

The baskets are HUGE and won't fit into any OEM 6.5" location, so fabrication is to be expected. I figured I would put them into the rear shelf in my Corolla...not without cutting, even with the JBL/Infinity adapters! Seriously considering 'glassing a whole new panel just to make them work somewhere.

These definitely need power, not just a head unit. Still haven't gotten parameters from EMF, but .6 cubes should be enough for each driver, right? I can probably get a little more with an enclosure the size of the panel. I can really use more midbass.

Disclaimer: this is not a bashing against EMF - I'm not done yet, and I need to make these work. I'm sure it's just me, or the speakers haven't fully broken-in yet, or something silly.

To be continued...
