Buying my car used, the previous owner had stripped all of the audio equipment out of it. I bought these speakers as a temporary stand-in until I am ready to invest in some quality audio components. I wanted something that was of reasonable quality, but as cheap as possible. I purchased both the 6.5" and 4x6 speakers for my car (nissan 240sx) and installed them in using speaker adapters. I am honestly shocked at the quality of the audio for these things. $26 total investment for 4 speakers, the sound is reasonably loud (loud enough to overcome the rattles and straight-through 3" exhaust on this car...) and the sound quality isn't all that bad.
Yes, audiophiles, stay away. But for the rest of us that just want speakers, the mids and lows are actually pretty well articulated. Bass response was decent, mids sound relatively clean with distortion only creeping in at about 75% volume (on my stereo head unit, no ext. amp) The highs however are atrocious. Distortion sets in very early, the sound isn't all that good to begin with, and there is a definite crackle in the tweeters. I would recommend clipping the tweeters out of this thing and hooking up an actual tweeter elsewhere if you want to upgrade your audio a bit more. That said... better speakers can be had for the price of the upgrade so not sure if it's worth it if these sound characteristics are unacceptable.
So, in short, if you have have very old speakers, blown ones, or a complete absence of speakers in your car, these are a good value for getting audio back into your vehicle. It will never sound really good, but they do the job well enough. Also, if you listen to bass-heavy music, these may be a better value for you than someone like me who likes music with lots of high frequency stuff in it.
