Performance Factory Replacement

When looking to replace your factory speakers or upgrade your current speakers to something of good quality, the S-Series speakers by Boston Acoustics are the way to go. These speakers will re-produce your music like you have never heard before. Your music will sound just as the artist had intended. You will have no problem turning these up with out much distortion due to the low power handling that a factory system has to offer. These speakers are a great match to any aftermarket or factory stereo without needing an external amplifier. With the built-in crossover, you will hear a rich blend of music between the woofer and the tweeter, and a smooth high and low frequency roll-off. These puppies are the perfect replacement for your stock door speakers!

Clearly sound in middle bass, middle and treble. For best results need an Sub. The S953 has decent overall bass but not the most.

I replaced a set of Kenwood 6x9's I paid $50 for with these speakers. I don't hear any marked difference. Mids are a little muddy, bass is good and punchy for rap/hip-hop mid bass, but is not clear or responsive enough for rock/electronica. Being pushed by an older Alpine 3522 amp.

Wouldn't recommend for the money.
