PIONEER A-Series MAX TS-A693CH 6” x 9” 2-Way Speakers (Pair) – 460W Max, Balanced Sound + Smooth Treble, Enhanced Bass, Ideal Factory Upgrade, Installation Adaptors Included

2018 Ram. Bought the TS-A6981F set but had to return due to the tweeter in the center sticking out too much for the front door panels to properly mount. They are good speakers if you don't already have tweeters in your car but they do lack bass because they are coaxial. Would be best used in the rear deck of a sedan. Purchased TS-A6901C instead which is a component set that came with tweeters. Amazing bass for 6x9s and the tweeters are surprisingly loud for their size. Bought a couple harness adapters and the set is a perfect upgrade for the 4th gen Ram 1500.

I have these in my 2018 Lexus GX460 (non mark levinson) with stock amplifier. The install was relatively easy though I did have to dremel the adapters a bit to make them fit the front doors. The tweeters fit the stock location and were epoxied in place. I chose these because of their relatively high efficiency knowing that I was going to use them with the stock amp. Turns out I made a pretty decent choice for my application because they sound pretty good. I am not a super bass head but I do listen to metal, prog, and other music that depends on a tight, quick low end and these do not disappoint. It’s a significant step up in terms of bass quality and clarity, and the tweeters are fairly detailed without being screechy or offensive. Please take this praise with the caveat that they aren’t the highest of high end and undoubtedly spending more and/or an aftermarket amplifier would yield better results but for being a budget upgrade I’m pretty happy.

I was looking for a all around speaker that had decent bass and clarity without running a amp or subwoofer, just running a aftermarket head unit. after buying a $60 6x9 set from skar I was quite dissapointed because my stock speakers had more bass than the skars. I decided to spend the $150 and this speaker surpasses my expectation, doesnt distort on bass and clarity on high volume. The bass is so good that it litterally sounds like you have subwoofers, the clarity is so good you litterally hear sounds in a song you wouldn't with regular speakers. A set of mid speaker front and back would probably cost around this price ($150) I would just spend the $150 on this set as it is so good and satisfying it would sastify you till you can save up and buy a pair in the front.

2919 Nissan Frontier installed, Awesome sounding speakers. The PIONEER A-Series Plus TS-A6971F 6”x9” speakers install when in perfect, base sound and high meds are fantastic. Highly recommended.

These speakers went in a 2015 f150, non Sony stereo. The install was easy for two reasons. 1- the tweeters have built in bass blockers, eliminating the use for a large crossover. 2- the woofers came with adapters to for several vehicles, including fords. As another reviewer, Steve, mentioned- the screws included don’t work, I had spare license plate screws that worked like a charm. Quality seems decent. With the brackets, fitment of the woofers was perfect. The included tweeter brackets let me mount the pioneer tweeters in the stock location easily. Better than the regular A series, less than the Premiers I used to run. I haven’t noticed any distortion, but these speakers are very mid heavy, and adjustment of your eq will probably be necessary. The highs are very clear, and in picking up on some sounds I didn’t before (that now annoying bell crash in RA’s Do You Call My Name, for example). So why 4 stars? Because these things, much like the pioneers I installed in my last f150, produce almost no bass below 120hz. I men, it’s NOTICABLE. And while I didn’t expect them to be hitting 30-40hz, losing 80-120 isn’t ideal. The stock speakers did significantly better in this aspect. I’m not sure if I’ll amplify them down the road or just swap them out, it for now they are staying. It’s been several months and they are still doing fine.

These speakers sound pretty darn good, used them in one of my portable bluetooth speaker builds. They have good clarity and a good amount of bass, pushing about 100 watts to each speaker. Search for me under TechForged Designs if you wanna snag a custom build for yourself!

First world problem; The music in my sprinter campervan doesn't sound very high Fidelity at all. Waaaaah! I built the pictured speaker enclosures to improve the sound in my sprinter. This is an excellent van, but the original sound system is terrible. The stock speakers are 3 1/2” paper cones in the dash. I had previously replaced the stock dash speakers with 4” pioneer co-axles. This alone improved the sound, but left much to be desired. I replaced the stereo with a Pioneer DEH-S7200BHS, which gave a slight improvement, but still lacked. My plan was then to build the pictured boxes, fill them with these Pioneer 6x9s, and build a subwoofer enclosure for a 10 to 12 inch sub. The speaker boxes are made of MDF, with a .42 cubic ft. internal volume. They are sealed, not ported, and all walls are non-parallel to avoid resonance frequencies The bass response is so good with these that the plan for the sub is out. In fact I had to call on the equalizer in the ‘7200 to decrease the bass level because the low end response of these is so good. (-3.@50 hz, [email protected] hz. -1@125 hz.). These speakers are also easily bi-ampable. The wires to the midrange and tweeter are easily accessible to split from the woofer. With the Pioneer 7200 having a built in crossover, this is the next step to bring this sound system perfection. Overall, these speakers sound excellent in the enclosures I built. The sound will vary in any other enclosure, and even more in a rear deck or door setup. I did hook them up “free air” before mounting in the boxes, and was mightily impressed. The lows are obviously strong, having passed the Alan Parsons Project “Sirius/Eye In the Sky” test and the Pink Floyd/ Nick Mason “One Of These Days(Live at Pompeii)/Set The Controls For the Heart Of the Sun(Live at Pompeii)” tests. The tweeters pass the Mannheim Steamroller - Fresh Aire 4 “Crystal” test. The midrange is clear, well reproduced like a pair of Bose 901s. These speakers are overkill for todays pop music, but can accurately reproduce the range and nuances of classic rock and classical music. Now, if I could only find a way to use a turntable in a moving vehicle…

I mounted a pair of these speakers in the back of my extended cab pickup truck. They replaced the 6 inch stock speakers. Holy Crap they sound amazing! Even though they are connected to the stock radio Easy to install/ and look great also.
