Only 30w RMS power handling is pretty low for a speaker of that size, so I wouldn't expect too much. Might be OK being driven from a HU versus a dedicated amplifier. And obviously an improvement over most OEM speakers.

To me, I've always considered CV to be a "cheap" brand, that's why I asked. lol. At the same time, any of the entry level speakers from name brands probably aren't any better. The Polk Audio I had in the first Yaris were a step above entry. Ran them off the HU as well, and they had no bass whatsoever. Good mid-high to highs tho. I had a 10" Alpine Type R in a ported box anyway, so I didn't care that the speakers didn't have any bass.
I won't be running an amp on them, just running off of the HU. I probably won't install them until the front speakers blow in the Yaris anyway. LOL. But I've set the crossovers on the HU so that none of the speakers are distorting, so that might be a while.
