Alphasonik 1 Pair of NS683 Neuron Series 6x8/5x7 (360 Watts Max for The Pair) 180 Watts Max Per Speaker 3-Way Full-Range Car Audio Speaker with PEI Dome Tweeter Polypropylene Cone

I purchased 2 sets (4 speakers) of the Pioneer TS-A6885R 6"x8" 4-way speakers for my 1997 Ford F-150 Supercab because the stock speakers had begun to sound a bit shabby, and my daughter blew the right rear one completely. I had read some complaints from other buyers that these speakers don't have very good bass response, but I believed those people were trying to connect these to low-power OEM head units, which would likely not have enough oomph to make these thump. I have a Pioneer DEH-P6500 SuperTuner III-D head unit, which has a built-in 50W x 4 power amp and equalizers. After reading many reviews, I suspected my system had enough power to make these speakers sound good without having to buy an external power amp, and I am pleased to report that I was right. If you want serious chest-crushing, window rattling bass that makes the mirrors in the cars all around you shake, then you need to go get a big power amp with sub-woofers. But if you want strong, clear music in your car, then these speakers will work just fine. That doesn't mean these are "old-person" speakers, not at all. I like rock and roll music, and I like it loud. I also really like strong bass, and I was worried that these might be a little weak, but they thump as hard as I want them to. In fact, I had to back off the bass power on the equalizer because it was so strong it was covering up some of the mid- and high-range sound. I have listened to radio, CD, and Pandora through my iPhone, and the sound quality is excellent. I've cranked music like Rush, Kansas, Foreigner, Journey and AC-DC, as well as country music and mellow stuff too, and so far the sound quality is pretty much perfect. After I installed them (they were a perfect fit in my truck- no mods necessary), it took a few minutes of cranking the volume up to break the speakers in so their sound began to really open up. Once broken in, these speakers CRANK! They deliver powerful, crisp-sounding music, from crystal-clear high end sounds to hard-thumping bass with no distortion. My teenage daughter was yelling to me over the music from the passenger seat and I could barely hear her, if that helps you get a feel for the volume level and clarity of sound. I can see why so many of the reviews of these speakers are 5 stars... Once you hook them up in your F150, you'll wish you'd done it a lot sooner!

I will start by saying these poor reviews (besides the damaged speakers, wrong sizes or premature life) are not accurate! These speakers have a RMS of 60 watts. That means they will perform to their best ability unless you have AT LEAST 60 watts running to them. I am not trying to be an ass but come on!! DO NOT rate these speakers for poor performance when you are using a stock head unit or even an after market head unit with no amp! That is like saying in a review that a toaster is a piece of s*** because it wont toast your bread off a 9 volt battery! I have a 2007 F250 with a Pioneer AVHX2700BS head unit. I hooked up 4 of these speakers without an amp until I was able to find an amp suitable for my setup. They sounded OK. A tad better than stock. A little bass but not much. Then I found a 400 watt RMS amp and now have these speakers running on 100 watts RMS a piece at 2 ohms. THEY ARE AMAZING!!! They do not rattle your head by any means but you feel them hit. These are not top of the line, but they are VERY acceptable for the price and I guarantee you I am heard 1/2 mile or so away clearly and extremely loud. I can not turn these all the way up with out getting a headache. I have had no noticeable distortion what so ever. I wish they did have more bass but I am 100% satisfied and would recommend them to anyone. Rap sounds decent but you will have to adjust settings for some songs. Rock and country sound very nice with these speakers.

I've used/tried several brands of speakers over the past few decades, and Pioneer has always made "good" speakers, even in the economy-class price-ranges. The TS-A series are mid-line, and the TS-G series are true "economy" speakers (yet still sound quite good too). While these may not rival high-end, high-price speakers (Bose, JL Audio, Focal), they will hold their own against speakers twice their price (JBL, Alpine, Polk, Infinity, etc.).... AND, they sound MUCH better than similar priced units from Sony, Kicker, Rockford Fosgate, Pyle, and MTX. My only complaint with these speakers is the bass is a bit fuzzy below 250Hz, but the amp's crossover fixes that issue and directs the true, low-frequencies to the sub-woofers. Even if you're not using a crossover, the fuzzy sound is hardly noticeable unless you are an audiophile or listen to music that is "all thump". These speakers easily handle the full-range of sound, as well as remain sounding quite good when pushing 50W of power through them (and they will handle 65W RMS easily). Highs are crisp, mid/voice is clear, and lows are well defined. Depending on your mounting location, you may want to invest in a speaker baffle or sound-deadening material behind them if mounting in doors or kick-panels. It will reduce the vibration and re-verb dramatically.

When I first came across these on Amazon I wasn't quite sure if they were the same brand I was just looking at that Yellow-Tag site. Are we allowed to say BestBuy? At BB, these speakers were over twice as much as a pair here at Amazon! So after a few days of shopping around I came back and bought them here. I'm just saying. These speakers are fantastic. I listen to all genre of music from Hip Hop to classical and I do not miss any detail or nuance ranging from J Cole to GP Telemann. Even with all windows down I can hear with no distortion. I was going to install a new 2-DIN head unit with some of the bells and whistles until I switched these speakers. For now the head unit can wait, they sound great with my factory (Sirius)unit. Bottom Line: Buy these speakers, I find I go for long rides just so I can listen to them... arf I don't require a subwoofer since these have great crossover and won't be looking for one anytime soon. Eventually, a new head unit but at this stage these speakers have saved me from needing to do. For the price and quality of sound, I could not be happier. There are no grills that come in the package. The box includes some mounting hardware and I believe a small amount of what appears to be dental floss. Oh, my bad,they included speaker wire, too!

Easy instal- sound great. Fit perfect in my 2013 Mazda 3 front doors

I replace all four of my very bad factory speakers in my 2011 F150. The OEMs could not even be turned up from below a whisper without hearing them rattle. The new Pioneer's are AMAZING. For the money (I paid $50 for a pair) I do not think these could be beat. For a 6x8 they have great bass (driven by my factory radio - I'm sure it would be better with an amp or head unit). The highs are absolutely superb. . .really they sound awesome. Honestly, these are a great (almost) full range speaker that really made me enjoy music in my truck again. They hit the bass as hard as any 6x8 can while giving you an acceptable mid range and great highend. If I was young again I would definitely add a sub for the low frequencies and a high pass filter to really let these 6x8s shine, but alas, my wife does not think our 1 year old needs to hear earth shattering sound while cruising with me in her car seat!

I bought these to replace the stock speakers in my 2005 Ford F-150 after installing a new Clarion head unit. The speakers look and feel like a high quality, decent-powered speaker. They were double the operating wattage of my stock speakers. So with these speakers powered by a brand new 45W × 4 with MOS-FET power amplifier head, my stereo should be louder and sound better, right? Well, yes and no. The highs and mids sound crisp, clear and loud, but these speakers lack any kind of punch or deep bass. I don't know if they are going to take a little breaking in before they deliver that warmer, thumpier bass or if I'll have to live with how they sound now. They sound like they have less bass that my stock speakers. If you listen to a lot of talk radio, these might be the speakers for you! Granted, I don't have a sub in the back, but then again I never expected mirror-rattling bass out of these 6x8s. I just want an upgraded sound quality from my nearly ten-year-old stock speakers. I'm not yet sure I've gotten that with these. I'll update this after I've had more experience, but after a week of driving around listening to these I'm left wanting a bit more. For the price, they're probably an improvement on what I had, but I'm not as impressed as many of the other reviewers.

After some little cockroach got into my SUV and stole my boxed 6x9's around the Holidays, I was dreading ever going through that again and decided it was time to rock some door speakers. After reading so many positive reviews of these speakers by Pioneer, I decided that I would go with 2 sets, one for front and one pair for the rear doors. I have them amped running full range using their crossovers, with bass boost on for now, but will probably turn that off once I get my subs back in there. They sound overall pretty fulfilling, not like I am missing any range across the 100Hz to 16KHz spectrum, since the highs are definitely there with the two tweeters on board, with a lot of midrange. They have nice rubber surrounds and some kind of mica cone. The Bass response is not bad considering the size of the woofer cone. I did use some 1/2" foam weather stripping to make a sealing\reducing gasket where the speaker frame meets the door sheet metal. I ran dedicated 16 gauge high strand Cu wire to each from the amp,- as opposed to using the 20 gauge existing factory wiring. It was a pain, but worth it. Soldering was the way to go here with heat shrink tape at each terminal. They come with mounting Philips head screws. Did not use baffles, but I decided to spray some rustproofing spray on the insides of the doors regardless to keep some of the acoustic resonance of the sheet metal down. They are worth the price for sure, no regrets so far, except for installing these in the dead of Winter in the upper 20's was a bummer.

No había tenido unas de esa marca y son muy buenas, con el amplificador se escuchan muy fuerte y no pierden fidelidad

The original car speakers sound is much better than these speakers
