well if you believe the copy written by the marketing chap for these speakers then they are the best thing since sliced bread!!


Toxic TOX-521 Detailed description
The newest Toxic speakers deliver huge output without even a hint of distortion, pound out more bass than ever before, and posess a look that's as gutsy as it is gorgeous. It's sound and style that's sure to redefine car audio for decades to come.

alternatively - you could just go by the maxim that you get what you pay for  :smiley:

My mate had some toxic 6x9's in his 106. I was quite impressed.
I think their speakers are better than their amps.

One thing id be concerned about is the lack of specks, especially if your planning on amping them.

Get your self along to your local halfords to have a try out, then go somewhere cheeper to buy. Try www.caraudiodirect.com.

Going purely on their own hype, and the look of them, I'd look elsewhere.

There are plenty of budget comps around that price that are a known quantity.

Check out the cheaper alpines, JBL and SPL dynamics etc.

I would never by speakers where the RMS isn't stated  :laugh: Don't mean to piss on your bonfire or anything though, they may sound awesome.

speakers in it (dunno if originals) dont seem bad i can have it loudish without any distortion and decent sound quality (not great of course but good enough for me)

No bass at all tho so maybe a small 10inch or some 6x9s of a amp will do i  think

Nope! Get yourself on eBay and buy some focals or JL Audio.
