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.

Good speakers

Speakers shipped and arrived at my house quickly! Not hard to install and have plenty of power for my set up. Would recommend to anyone looking for good sound at a great price. Always a pleasure to do business with Sonic! 3

Good factory upgrade

Purchased to replace blown factory speakers in 2010 Chevy Tahoe due to water damage from rear door windows. 4 OHM speakers with low RMS that the factory head unit could handle. Speakers have nice sound for low cost with nice bass increase.

Nice speakers at a nice price!

Speakers work fine with a factory head unit definitely improved the overall sound.Great buy for the price! Sonic electronic was very helpful with my order bc it was on backorder. Got it shipped in a timely manner once they got the product. Would recommend both this company & these speakers.
