MTX TERMINATOR653 Terminator Series Speakers

The MTX Audio Terminator Series Speakers will improve any stock stereo. These speakers are designed to play lower notes than other competitive models which means you'll have great bass reproduction even without a subwoofer. These speakers are a perfect option if you are replacing blown stock speakers or upgrading your system because they will sound great even with just the source-unit amplification. With over 40 years of audio experience, MTX Audio makes sure and knows how to create quality audio in their products, and the Thunder Series is no exception!

Durable Build


The Terminator series speakers are made of durable polypropylene cones and Mylar tweeters that are built to last. The lightweight polypropylene cone provides excellent sound reproduction and retains its stiffness over time. The Mylar dome tweeters reproduce clear high frequency sound with a solid build. With the included grille, you can rest assured the speakers will be protected.


Shallow Mounting Depth

These speakers are great for replacing stock stereo speakers for many reasons than just sounding great. The shallow mounting depth means you will have no trouble installing them in almost any vehicle.

Excellent clarity

These speaker can handle a suprising amount of bass without distorting, even at high volumes. They sound crystal clear and they kick like 8" subs. Well worth the money.

MTX TERMINATOR #653 KILLER SPEAKERS FOR THE MONEY

I was going to replace the speakers in my 2000 Saturn SL2 with factory original speakers. In doing research I found the MTX terminators to be a better replacement. For my Saturn SL2, the fit was flawless and I used the oruginal fastners. I did solder the wires to the speakers though. The sound quality blows away any factory speaker by miles. I never knew this stock radio had such good sound.
I can verifie that they do fit a 2000 saturn SL2 in all four speaker holes.

Great Speakers for the price, but mid bass is lacking.

Okay, so I got these speakers 2 months ago when the price was $40. I wanted to replace my stock rear deck speakers in my 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid, as I did in the front doors in summer 2017... They looked nice, they are much more durable than the Pioneers up front, and I thought it was be nice addition to my Honda Civic in terms of Mid bass. Installing wasn't too bad. The screws that came with these speakers were too long and thin for the Adapters I bought, I would've had to drill through sheet metal. So, i bought shorter screws with a wider thread. After I installed, I was disappointed in its mid bass performance. The speakers I have in my front doors are 45w RMS Pioneers I got cheap from Best buy, and they sound much better... However, I think these speakers may need an amp. I don't have one yet, but plan to get one. I haven't applied any deadener to to rear deck yet. Maybe an amp and deadener could help increase mid bass in the car... Or Maybe 8th gen Honda civics need serious work in Acoustic treatment.

On the flip side, they sound pretty clear... But after all, I am running them off a factory radio. That could be partially the reason mid bass is lacking. I don't wanna give a bad review, but I will re-work some things and leave another review.

High Quality & Good Value

I needed to replace my blown-out stock speakers on my 2006 Silverado Z71 Truck. The Terminator653's really pump the sound from my stock head unit. I'll eventually replace my stock head with a new one but won't have to change the speakers as they are ready for more power. Easy to install too. Highly recommend.

Good sound

These are not direct fit replacement for 2002 Subaru Impreza. The had to have the supplied spacer or the window hits the speaker. Also the screw holes arent in line with the fatory holes. Other than that I am satisfied.
