Honest Review from a 48 year old car audio guy who's been doing this since he was 16. I will say that the quality of Chinese components and drivers is top notch now a days. I've used the German MB quarts from the mid 90s, the PPI art series amps, JL Audio C3's, JL Audio HD 900/5 in the past. Even B&W mid level home speakers are made in China.
These Meso 6.5's are an absolute game changer as far as price and quality. I have a 6.5 comp set installed in front doors and 6.5 coax's in the back doors running off a factory Honda amp. Install will be finished this weekend.
This is in a 2024 Honda Passport Trailsport, doors sound/vibration dampened on interior shell and where the door panel mounts to. Just off that factory amp, you can hear the notes in a bass guitar, a kick drum, etc. Can't wait to put my RD900/5 in this weekend. The silk tweeters at 0DB are perfect! You hear all the articulation and separation in a song's recording between left and right channels. It really truly sounds fantastic. Once I get more power on them, I expect they will sound even better.
My only con - the push terminals. Not the end of the world, I'm used to the spade connectors. I put my wires in, folded them down along the terminal and electric taped around them to hold them in place.
Again - do not hesitate to buy as most everyone has said in the reviews these things sound great! Wait for a sale if you can, in November they have a 24% off sale during Black Friday week.
Only initial thought I have left in conclusion is I hope these last for a while. I don't listen stupid loud, this is just an upgrade over the factory system.
