I recently purchased these speakers to replace some failing factory paper speakers which had began to rattle and distort. I was very pleased with their overall performance. The high's come through beautifully and the mids are a great improvement.

I wouldn't rate these the best sounding speaker in the world, but for low power handling that most factory radios provide, they do great.

I purchased a pair of kicker speakers as well, 4x6 for my back seats, and they seem to handle bass a little better overall, even with factory power. However there is a price difference as well.

For the price, these speakers will do in a pinch!

I purchased these as replacements for the factory speakers in my 1996 Blazer. Installation was pretty simple and straight-forward. I can't say it was any harder or easier than any other speaker install. I do recommend using a bit of caution as the surround can tear if you're not careful as mine did. That being the case though, the 1/4 inch tear in mine has not affected the sound in any way.

For such an inexpensive speaker, I was not expecting the quality of sound. The rest of my system is a Pioneer CD deck and a 10" MTX Thunder 7500 sub and MTX amp. With all the bass from the sub, these speakers are still able to come through crisp and clear. They do take a bit of tweaking on head unit and crossover to prevent any bass distortion as some very deep lows will cause a bit of buzz, but that's to be expected with any 6.5" full range speaker. Mids don't get lost in the mix and highs cut through nicely.

You could pay more, but to get better quality, you'd have to pay a lot more. Over the years I've owned about 6 sets of full range speakers and the only ones that were better were a set of Polk's that I paid over twice as much for.

Moral of the story.....Awesome speakers + great price = unbeatable buy.

I would recommend these speakers to anyone looking to upgrade their factory speakers. They are perfect if powered by a factory system. They sound sweet, but if you got an amp, you should consider some Pioneers that support higher wattage.

First of all, I'd just to say Sonic Electronix is an awesome supplier.

As far as these speakers are concerned... They fit well in tight spaces.... very shallow. They are tight, clean sounding. Seriously lacking in bass response at low power... Midrange is weak in my opinion. Power handling is respectable. The surround is quite stiff, small magnet... but again, they do fit well in tight spaces.vIf you have the room, I would spend the extra $20 or so, and take a look at Polk Audio db651. Overall a decent replacement speaker. Overpriced in my opinion. I'm returning mine, and putting my $29 no name speakers back in for now. They have way better bass response.

I purchased these Pioneer speakers because the old ones in my car were going bad. I was skeptical at first because the price was low and these were only the regular base speakers. I bought them anyway and I'm glad I did. The sound quality was excellent for only regular speakers. If you want to have the volume to the max, then these speakers aren't for you. But if you want a great quality, low priced speaker that sounds good then I would definitely recommend these.

My Dual XDM6820 plays through these speakers. The Dual volume goes up to 45 but the speakers kinda max at a volume of 38ish. They're pretty decent. I do not have a sub so these speakers have to do the Low/Mid/High all together. They output very poor Low. I am getting a sub soon so that these speakers will have to work less and can focus on just the Lows and Mids for better sound quality. You can't clearly pick out the dynamics in the music because of the low quality but it's pretty nice for the price.

I replaced my factory speakers in a 96 Honda Civic with minor modification (had to snip off the 6 outer mounting teeth). The factory speakers were fine for what I needed, but the outer seal (made of paper) had deteriorated and—though tape fixed the obnoxious buzz—required replacement.

I really like the sound of the material... not too artificial or 'tinny' thanks to the cloth and polypropylene acoustics. Carbon is nice, but it tends to reproduce a lot of ultra-high-frequency electronic noise that I find too noticeable for my liking.

Perfect power handling for a normal consumer deck in the mid range. I have these hooked to a >$100 Pioneer deck and couldn't ask for anything more without external amplification... But honestly, I don't feel like anything "better" is necessary since I have have a sub handling all my LFE.

Looking to upgrade my rear speakers soon with the corresponding 6x9s.

I bought these for auto replacement speakers. By far, better than factory speakers. The two-way system sounds great. . . The lows and midrange, along with the factory tweeters make these an all around great choice for speaker replacement. They come with instructions and all necessary hardware for easy installation. Can't go wrong with a set of these.

I had replaced the head unit and added an amp in my daughter's 2002 Tahoe. Over time the added power got the factory speakers rattling. These Pioneers were an easy screw-in replacement and sound much better than the factory speakers, even before they started rattling.

These speakers are the same as anything else from Pioneer. They perform. I replaced $120 Polk db series because the vocals were flat and the $50 Pioneers put them to shame! the Treble that these speakers produce is clear loud and accurate. Now of course they aren't going to pump out the bass like a 6" sub in your door but that what better Pioneer speakers are for.

pretty good speaker for the money, replaced the dieing bose 6 1/2" speakers in the doors of my 05 Audi A6 and they sound pretty solid. fit almost exactly in the factory mounting holes (no mods needed) and i "fabricated" some sound deading to go around the speaker's bracket face. sounds really good even though the pioneer is a 4ohm speaker replacing a bose 2ohm speaker. does not seem to put any strain on the factory amp. the speakers could use a little help reproducing its low and mid range frequencies but with all low end speaker's the high's are nice and chirpy. good buy for the price.

Great sound in a small package! Simple attractive speaker grills/covers too. None of that bulky garish plastic junk that looks like it's pretending to be from outer space. These are grown up speakers, not wanna-be's. Plus, the fit in the factory mounting locations on my 95 LandCruiser behind the stock speaker grills, totally maintaining the stock appearance, but with much improved sound!

April 23, 2010 Best Bang for my Buck
Review by
Jeremy from Portland, OR

Usability
My wife's car had a pair of blown-out OE 6 1/2" mids in her back deck. While it was a surprise, I knew that she didn't want me to break the bank on a pair of speakers; she doesn't know good from bad, so the charge on the card was going to dictate her opinion. Pioneer has always been a solid brand for mids, and the price that Sonic offered was (as always) the best in town.

Even for running off the head unit, and being nowhere near fully powered, these guys have got some pretty good mid-bass kick to them. Very clear high end definition for the tweeters. If it weren't for my wife not wanting massive volume, I'd put an amp to these things and feel strong about them taking a real pounding.

It just goes to show that you don't necessarily need MB Quart components to get really good quality sound. Nothing bad at all to say about having bought them.
