Def pick these up. they def fill in the rear of your vehicle and the sound is crisp. I have them hooked up to 100watts rms and they sound great. The bass is suprisingly good for 6x9's Great price sonic!

Pretty good speakers

The following review is for a previous version (TS-A6972R).

I have these in my 1996 grand am, and they are getting about 60 watts to them. They are not too loud but you definitely can hear them; I am not really using them for bass, but as far as treble goes they work.

Good clarity

The following review is for a previous version (TS-A6972R).

I bought a set of these a few months ago and im pretty impressed. I was in the market looking for something decently priced and something with a lower rms rating since i am running them straight to the headunit, no amp. They hit harder then i thought they would and the clarity it great. These are good speakers for the price. Good add on for a stock setup.

Excellent Quality Yet Affordable

I have a pair of these on a portable Jambox that I made, and the sound quality has impressed even high-end users that have heard this Jambox. It is complemented by a pair of 6-1/2" w/ tweeters as well. Overall I highly recommend these speakers.

Great 6 x 9's For Running Off Deck Power

The most common Pioneer 6 x 9's I'm seeing in stores and on websites seem to be the 6964's, which are just a notch below these 6974's. I went with these because the 64's have a lot reviews that they sound good but lack bass. The few reviews I read on these 74's is that they have good bass.

The overall sound quality is good. No complaints. I would describe the bass as more mid-bass. It's plenty loud and punchy, but the bass doesn't sound like a small subwoofer. Now, that could be due to my HU boosting bass at 60hz (the lowest it will go). I don't know. If you're on a tight budget and can't afford subs, these provide good audible bass. But if you want real bass, you'll need at least one sub.

In hindsight, I would have probably been fine with the 64's since I'm getting subs and an amp soon. But the great mid-bass will still be appreciated. The higher mids and highs are good on these as well. These are efficient speakers as well. I'm powering these with my JVC KW-R500 head unit (20 watts RMS x 4) and the power is plenty. Running these off an amp would seem completely unnecessary to me.

Bottom line - if you're looking for great lower priced 6 x 9's to run off of a HU, these are great. I'm glad I bought them.

Lots of Value - Great Sound

Six months ago I purchased the Pioneer TS-A6974R speaker pair to replace OEM Pioneer rear deck speakers in my wife's 2002 Mazda Protege after upgrading her stock stereo to a JVC. Install was quick. I choose to purchase harness adapters to avoid soldering new connectors. Sound is greatly improved over the OEM paper Pioneers and work great with the Pioneer TS-A4674R I installed in the doors. Crisp with clean base, even with all the road noise of a Protege. I highly recommend these as a step up from bargain prices speakers. Great sound, great value.

Great Value!

The following review is for a previous version (TS-A6973R).

These are very high quality speakers, and a great buy at the price.
Mids and highs are very clear, and they get as loud as I can stand to push them with absolutely no distortion. For a 6x9 the low end is surprisingly good.
Obviously, there's bass, and then there's bass. You're never going to rattle your license plate and thump your plastic wal-mart spinners loose without a separate sub-woofer.
However. For anyone who wants their music to *sound good* these speakers provide a very full, deep sound, with more than enough bass for rock, jazz, country, everything in between.
I very highly recommend them!

Excellent Buy

I would definitely recommend this product to anyone. I purchased this set for my 2002 Chevy Impala and they sound amazing. For 6x9's they have surprisingly good lows as well as crystal clear mids and highs. Will continue to be a true Pioneer fan!!

WoW!

The following review is for a previous version (TS-A6972R).

This pioneer's 6x9 2 way, really helped the stocked speaker that i have on my car. I connected them to a Pioneer GM-3300T. They make a great match.

Great Value

I bought these speakers online and have been very pleased with my purchase. They were $20+ cheaper than anywhere else I could find them online. They were completely brand new and still in the package. The speakers themselves pack a great punch and sound amazing. They are very clear and still pack a great bass punch. I would recommend this product to anybody. I bought these to replace some Sony Xplode speakers and can definitely tell the difference.

Pioneer Speakers

I purchased these speaker about 6 months ago. I must say it was money well spent, this product was delivered on time and I was informed on the status of it's location while in transit. The performance of the speakers if great!! They are very clear and loud, I turn up my radio almost all the way and you can tell the speakers can handle so much more. I would recommend these to anyone looking for a simple upgrade to there car audio system.
