Uh, that's my point they were being overpowered by 5 watts and there was no distortion, yea and if you power them off the HU they will work great or just don't try to get too loud. Just not a serious speaker in my opinion. 30 watts should have been about right for the plates. Using an Alpine amp not a rampage. I'm just saying instead of buying these try something else like Infinity or 5.25s, it's not like these sound super great and I feel they are unreliable
