I found them for a great price, and they say they are sold in a pair, but the price is too low to be true. They also say sold individually unless noted otherwise? It's confusing because I want to buy them, but the price being so low scares me into thinking I am only buying one, and if I buy one, I can get a better price for a pair on another site.

What do you guys think?

Also, what all is involved to wire these up? I saw a thread about splicing wires and crap, and I don't really want to do that. I would like to maintain the factory harness if possible.

Thanks guys.

They are noted otherwise...

Bought stock ones from GM parts direct. I have stockers in the SS and they haven't blown out at all, so i think these will be suficent for Rock. I guess the orginal owner was some clown that listened to rap or something....

FYI, rap is sub-bass, not mid-bass

Well what would hit the bass notes if the only thing there were the mids?

Depends on the song, same as any other genre.

Nothing.
A super badass midbass driver will only play down to like 50hz at the lowest, so you're missing out on the sub-bass below 50hz. Well, generally speaking, I think sub-bass is classified at 80hz and below.

Normal midbass speakers should be crossed over at 80hz for most of them... leaving out quite a bit of music you don't get to hear

How come the equalizer on my Trans Am shows 40Hz as the lowest?

If that is a low pass filter, it will play 40hz and below on that setting. Anything lower and you won't be using the speakers hardly at all
I set my corssover to 80hz, too much music comes through at 100hz for my taste, but some guys like to cross the subs at 100hz.
