Good prices. I don't really know most of the brands but they look like decent quality. The watt per dollar ratings are way lower than when I was a kid if true. I'm guessing advent of class d has changed things. It's almost too much power for the average SQL guy.

The JP are legit and put out more than rated power. I have a JP8 (800W @ 1 ohm) doing 1200W. They are also on sale if you need something around 1k rms.

How are those 6.5s? My current cheap Kenwoods sound harsh and tiny.

I don't. And a paper cone midrange? They should be $7.99 a pair.
Obviously you know nothing about speakers.

I've heard some pretty amazing speakers with paper cones, though they usually are treated with some fiber reinforcement. The weirder thing is that the $24 6.5" speakers are rated for 100-9000 Hz frequency response. That's very poor low end extension even for a midrange woofer.

I'd compare these speakers against this:

D4S is up there with the Brazilian Amps in popularity and performance. Check out Taramps and D4S on YouTube. Amazing stuff. Cannot comment on the midrange, but 100Hz is a perfectly acceptable rolloff with a subwoofer and probably doesn't distort voices having to try and play bass at the same time.

No t/s parameters listed for the drivers? Usually a red flag

$28.34 to ship a pair of 6.5s, not worth ordering unless you exceed the free shipping threshold.

edit: here's a review I found of the 6.5s make a decent cheap full range speaker https://youtu.be/8DCnpVkYJmI?si=mP6cYQdnVeBn1K-E

If you're into car audio and haven't heard of d4s, then I don't know what kind of "car audio" you're into.

I tend to like to center the crossover for a subwoofer at around 65-80Hz. That keeps the subwoofer in charge of doing what the midbass can't. The problem with letting a sub handle 100-120Hz is that the ear can much better localize those frequencies than it can 15-70Hz. It's better in my mind to get as much bass up front as possible. For that reason, I would not find 100Hz perfectly acceptable, or even average.
