Sony XS-GS1621C

Upgrades in my FoST

I am using these speakers with my stock MFT sony head unit and they sound great. The awesome thing about these is the Bi-Amp design so if you have separate channels for most of your speakers, Like the Focus ST does... you can get the clean sound you have been looking for with a good little thump too. Drums come through great on the woofers and the tweeters are balanced well. The grills for these speakers look well designed and are attractive.

descent components

These are a descent upgrade from stock on a premium audio on a 2015 Accord, compared to the stock speakers they are better controlled and sound is cleaner, I had the stocks with a DSP and an amp running active, replaced them with the sony in the same setup, the sony are a little louder and have more control at high volumes, but compared to the Focal and Diamond Audio HEX they lack, they are not as detailed or as loud, I have the stock head unit going thru a Rockford Fosgate 3sixty3 DSP Processor feeding to a 5 channel NVX amp and running active.

An audiophile's dream

Clear, crisp and a full sound of highs, middles and lows completely throughout your listening range and beyond with concert hall accuracy and quality. Sony has always meant quality you can trust to hard core music listeners and this speaker continues that heritage. I put them in my Tacoma doors in place of factory speakers, added an amp and sub-woofer and it's a road traveler's dream! I could not be more pleased and the biggest bonus is in this day of compressed files it makes even crappy recordings sound good.

Excellent (Update)

I have had these GS1621c and GS6921 for about 4 months now and I feel you shouldn't have any complaints after buying them. I first heard them at a local retailer and I noticed they sounded just as clear and powerful as the Focal speakers they also had so I purchased them that same day and installed them on my Pioneer AVH-X2800BS and they sounded good on the mids and highs (not lows) after tweaking the eq and crossover. This past 2 weeks I added an external amplifier, which is an old school Rockford Power 551x and it made a much greater impact on the sound! Now the sound is even more detailed and even filling up the lows vibrating my mirrors with no distortion, I personally dont even feel the need to add a subwoofer anymore. I highly recommend these speakers, especially if you will be adding an external amp to them to give them the true power that they need. Do NOT rob them of power!!!

Quality

I have these speakers running off my Pioneer AVH2800BS head unit,... nice upgrade from the factory speakers of my 2013 Impala,... they sound great after tuning from my head unit much clarity. I know they aren't getting enough power right now but I can only image how spectacular the improvement of sound will be when I add an external amplifier
