Blaupunkt GTx 693 DE 6 x 9-Inch 260-Watt Triaxial Speaker System

I decided to give these speakers a shot after being disappointed in a pair of Polk Audio's. I have Polk's in one vehicle and have used them before. They have been great. So recommended them for son-in-law/daughter's CR-V. They had no bass and they were clearly inefficient as compared to what I was used to. Volume had to be cranked to get decent sound out of them.Having done some research after being let down by the Polks it is the case they are not as efficient as they used to be.Thought couldn't lose and was impressed at least by the power ratings AND the 92db efficiency rating.WOW, just WOW.Very tight bass. Clean balanced FULL sound not like the Polks. The Polks were missing something.... If that makes any sense.The 92db rating means amp not working as hard so cleaner sound.They are 6 inch speakers, not 6.5 inch. However the CR-V uses 6 inch speakers and attempting to put in 6.5 inch speakers, it can be done, is a lot of work.We used the factory grilles. The included grilles offer enough protection to be worth using if you need them at the same time open enough the sound is not impacted.I am quite impressed with the bass. Very tight, almost punchy. And rear cargo area rattling bass.I'm done with Polks. Blaupunkt are top of my list now.

I like the speakers since I now can hear the high and lows in my car. I can hear the drummer hitting his sticks and a triangle in a Chicago song which I never heard in my car. They are not the best but for the price they are good. I'm still breaking them in and figuring out my best head unit settings. I have floor speakers at home so I have somewhat high expectations for sound quality.

Great speakers, legendary Blaupunkt sound! This is the third set of Blaupunkt speakers I have installed in a vehicle and they do not disappoint. Amazing speakers for the price. These 3-ways have perfect tweeters, symbals sound like they are right there in my truck. Bass is powerful without being overkill, and midrange is full. As with most high-quality speakers, don't expect these to sound stellar until they have softened up. These actually sound bad when you first install, so don't be surprised. Also don't be ready to show off the speakers right after install. Your buddies will not be impressed. They took about 8 hours of playing at a moderate volume level to soften up, but then they became amazing. These are also very attractive, should you be installing them where they are visible. Mine fit behind my door panels, so they are not visible. I almost wish they were because they are so attractive, especially with the trim piece.

Good sound at first but then I hear a little distortion but way better than stock

I put these in the doors of my 98 dodge dakota. i traced an 8 inch speaker over the vented speaker grilles that are on the door panel. then i cut out the hole. they mount flush on the door panel, so the speaker cover/ protectors that come with them not just look nice but protect your sweet looking gloss black speakers, i have a sony cd player the one with the usb and aux. in sub out, and i also have a set on kenwood component 6.5s with kenwood tweeters in the back of my single cab. no sub yet but i may not get one. these 8 inch speakers are nearly full range, clear and clean at high volumes plenty of midrange, and i was very suprised at the amount of bass, i mean WOW i give 15 stars on the fast shipping, price, sound, quality!!! you cant go wrong here, these are so nice and they look really fancy and shiney and you wont be disappointed. these are the most beautiful speakers i have ever bought, and the best sounding car speakers i have ever heard for a 3 way!! just awesome awesome awesome. best buy on amazon!! well worth the money!!!!!!!!!!!

For the price these are hard to beat. They don't hit as hard in the bass range, but I use them in a custom built enclosure so that has something to do with it. They aren't the loudest, but are very loud. I take the system to our tailgates outside and all the way up it is lound enough to be heard by all 10 people, but not lound enough to drown out conversation. One thing to keep in mind, I use these with a battery. I have read that the smaller the wattage the slower the battery drain.

I installed these speakers about a year ago to date, but before then I started to have issues with them, specifically it seems like the spider on the speaker (the fabric like piece behind the diaphragm) tore right next to the voice coil, the both of them. What happens is that the speaker can't handle low frequencies or high volumes anymore. It kind of sucks because they weren't hooked to an external amp, just a 4x50 watt head unit and well below the RMS threshold on these. Quite disappointing.I also bought the 6.5 inch version and those are fine and should be fine for a long time. I don't know if it's just the fact it's a 4 inch speaker, but still, subpar quality from Blaupunkt.

At first I thought the polarity must have been reversed on one of them but after confirming they we installed correctly it became clear they’re just not very good speakers. Connected to the stock radio in my car they sound okay at low volume but begin to exhibit distortion at medium volume and distort horribly with the volume turned up to about the level you would use driving on the highway with the windows down. The bass is weak throughout. By contrast an inexpensive set of Kenwood or Poineer speakers connected to the same radio provide much richer sound, better bass, and less distortion.
