Pioneer TS-A1304C

Great speakers

I bought these about six months ago and they are great. I am running them off my pioneer deck, no amp, and they are pretty clear. My friend with Amplified Rockford Fosgate components cant believe how clear mine sound. I plan to amplify them some day, but no rush, they do a great job of balancing out my system, with 2 12 inch pioneers in the back.

good value, great speakers!

I did some research on many different component speaker systems before I purchased these Pioneers and found that these were just what I needed. They sound great and have plenty o' bass on the bottom. try'em, I think you'll like'em.

cheap price with clear sound

great front components i run 45 watts rms and very happy

Perfecrt BMW 325 upgrade

After installing a new Pioneer head unit in my 1995 325i convertible, I discovered my left front speakers were dead, so rather than pour a lot of money into OEM parts I got these, and they are great. They fit perfectly, the tweeter actually snaps into the OEM speaker grille. I just bypassed the factory amp, and ran wires to them. The biggest obstacle was overcoming all the quirky BMW hardware. All for $60, less than half of what a couple new BMW midranges cost. When the amp or rear speakers die completely, I plan on doing the same to replace the rear speakers.

Great build quality

I installed these in my co-worker's 2001 Pontiac GrandPrix. These speakers fit in the factory speaker hole very well. I was worried about how I was going to fit the tweeter into the sail panels the housed the factory tweeters. It turned out that the new tweeters fit in them almost perfectly. Just a hair difference in diameter (smaller). So I made a gasket from electrical tape and they fit perfectly. I taped them in to finish the install. Not too professional I know but I don't think they're going anywhere.

As for the sound quality. They sound nice but they are a bit on the faint side. I think an extra amplifier would help them out but without one they are kind of quiet. Don't get me wrong, when you crank the volume the take everything you can through at them but at low levels they are weak. I'm not hating on them though I think it's just a power issue.

My beef however with these, is the mount-ability of the tweeters. They have very few few options (i.e. screw holes in the mounting cups). Pioneer doesn't provide many tips on how to use the limited mounting cups. I found that to be very frustrating.

Great value

I have these in my car and I am very impressed with how good they sound. I run them straight off my deck, no factory or aftermarket amp, so they are seeing about 20 watts. I have the deck tuned so that pretty much no bass comes from the speakers, but I have cranked the bass a little with my subs off and these little suckers sound pretty damn good. Someday I plan on putting a pair in the rear of my car as well and then amplifying all of them.

I feel cheesy giving them all 5 stars but honestly, they deserve it.

SLAMS BASS

the bass on these subs is nice and deep. my friend has type rs and they just dont even come close to making the lows sound filthy.

Nice little set of speakers

I bought these to replace the factory front speakers in a 2002 Chevy Suburban. They are the same size, but the mounting system is an annoying proprietary snap system (I got around this by simply taking the old speakers off the plastic rings that snap in, drilled holes in the plastic snap rings, and mounted the new speakers to the rings, and snapped them back into the factory holes. I should note that you can not install these speakers normally on these vehicles, they are too small, at least a 6" is necessary to install using the traditional method.) The factory amp/head unit has a set of wires for both the tweeters and the woofers. Don't even worry about the tweeter wires, just use the wires that come in the box and connect them to the woofer wires.

In regards to sound quality: These speakers sound great, especially compared to the factory ones (not very hard to beat.) My only complaint is that at lower volumes, the lower midrange frequency response is very low. Once you turn up the volume a little they start to really shine. This may also be due to the factory head unit that I am using. It is not very good really, but these speakers do help it to sound noticeably better.

What I would do if I were to buy these again is just skip over the 5 1/4" and go straight for the 6 1/2". I only purchased the 5 1/4" speakers because that is the stock size, but after looking around some more, I have noticed that nearly everyone just gets the 6 1/2" speakers, and they do sound a noticeable bit better. (To get to the point: spend the extra 10 bucks on the 6 1/2" speakers. It's worth it.)
