Planet Audio TQ622 6.5-Inch 2-Way Poly Injection cone Speaker System (Black) Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)These speakers may not be the best sounding speakers but for the price you are paying they are good if you need a factory replacement or want to change your current speakers. The tweeters sound really good on these speakers and the bass is decent, but I don't care too much about the bass since im not spend too much on the speakers. I brought the speakers since the paper cone door speakers in my nissan maxima are blown and so far im happy with the speakers they sound way better then the factory speakers I had in my car.

Kenwood KFC-1682IE 6.5-Inch 240-Watt Max Power Three-Way Speaker System Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased these to replace stock speakers in a Honda Civic. This car has considerable rode noise, and if the volume was turned up on the speakers, the sound quality became so bad it was worse than the noise. I purchased these speakers in the hope that I could drown out the road noise at high speeds so I could still listen to music while driving. I drive to Utah (about 5 hours) twice a month. In this my primary goal, I have been extremely pleased. These seem like a very nice speaker.
The radio in this car is not a high quality unit, so I cannot accurately rate the quality reproduction of the highs and the lows, but my overall impression of the sound that comes from these speakers seems very clean. My last speakers I could barely hear the base, and now I can hear it and even feel it (these speakers are in the panel down by my legs). Voices come out much crisper than the old speakers. I would definitely recommend these speakers. I will update this review after I replace the stereo.

Boss BRS52 5.25" Dual Cone Replacement Speaker, Individually Packaged In Clamshell Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm impressed with these speakers. They make great REPLACEMENT speakers for your blown OEM speakers. Please note they aren't for anything loud or bassy. They're good for normal day to day level listening. I've since then returned them as I replaced them with other higher output to meet my personal needs and listening preference. But over all I will suggest these speakers to those who just want to get rid of their factory blown speakers or replace em with something that will put out a more clear sound. Boss Audio makes great products and I will always be impressed with their products and will continue to use them.

Kicker 08KS502 525-Inch Component System with 1-Inch Tweeter Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought these as replacements for the front door speakers in my 2000 BMW 740iL. I checked fit at Amazon, Kicker and Crutchfield sites and bought these because they were the only speakers I could find that would fit for sure. My factory speakers are components (separate woofers, mids and tweets). These Kickers are component speakers also so I just used the mid-bass driver. The mid driver has a big hole in it to mount the tweeter if need be. That adds to the flexibility of install but hurts the overall sound. Since I didn't need the tweets (mine rock), I elected to install the "phase plug" in place of the tweets and didn't use the crossover (my amp has crossovers built in). Well, these Kickers actually don't sound any better than the worn out factory speakers that are 11 years old and have coated-paper cones with totally deteriorated cone surrounds (the foam around the edge of the original speakers is crumbling apart). To be fair, I'm certain that my original speakers were of top quality, though not of name brand; they are made in Belgium and seem to be very well made and of the same impedence.
Where the Kickers fail is in reproducing tom-tom drums and deeper voices, exactly the range in which I expect a 5.25 inch speaker to excel. They sound like they have a loose piece of paper glued to them. Basically, at any frequency higher than where you can actually see the speaker move, they have a rattle. Also, when the freqs get low enough to see the cone move, they sound mushy and lose volume quickly. I don't expect 5.25 inch speakers to pound the low bass but I ceartainly expect Kickers to rock from 400Hz to 2Khz.
I can't comment on the treble quality of the Kickers as I elected to not use their tweeters.
I have decided to buy some "Silver Flute" speakers from Madisound, on sale for $20 each, and will update this review after comparing the outcome. The Silver Flutes are highly regarded in the DIY home speaker community as a great "bang for your buck" speaker with performance on par with $100 speakers.
If happy with the Silver Flutes I'll condemn Kicker forever; if the Flutes are inferior, I will retract part of this review.

Directional installation makes a significant difference in a car's audio entertainment, but the cost of high-end components tends to factor in the decision to settle for less.
Why settle? Kick factory sound to the curb with KS-Series Component Systems. They provide smooth, clear mids and highs expected from the leader in mobile audio, and at a price that won't lighten the wallet.
Three sizes of KS Systems offer ultimate flexibility by providing multiple installation options for the end-user. Desiring a conventional component system setup? KICKER Systems offer the kind of high-end directional sound sought by audiophiles. Want a drop-in coaxial upgrade for the doors? Simply remove the bullet-phase plugs in the woofers' center and screw in the tweeters for a simple, quick solution to coaxial sound and audio realism.
The woofers and one-inch, aluminum-domed tweeters are brought together by a symmetrical 12dB/octave high-pass-12dB/octave low-pass crossover/protection network that is second to none, featuring a 3-position tweeter attenuation switch for fine-tuning fickle high frequencies. The finishing touch is added by the latest cosmetics, featuring a metallic finish, a new grille, and spade wire terminals that allow for easy wiring access.

Rockford Fosgate Prime R1652-S 6.5-Inch Component Speaker System Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I paired these up with a JVC XR810 head unit using NO amp. You don't need an amp using these speakers and a good quality head unit. Mine is rated at 20 watts RMS and 50 watts max. They sound very clear, much better than coaxial speakers! They are very loud using just the deck. Excellent highs with nice mids. Im very impressed with the quality in construction and sound. Trust me when I say get these!

Kicker DS650 6-1/2 50W RMS DS Series 2 Way Car Speaker Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I recently purchased these speakers to replace my factory front speakers in my 08 Civic EX. They sound is much crisper and cleaner throughout; however, the one thing it lacks is a rich bass sound. So if you are looking for that, these are not the speakers for you. Though these speakers are rated at 25 RMS it can probably take closer to 40 or 50 RMS as kicker under rates its products. I am very happy with the sound quality and you cannot beat the price.

Great sounding, easy-to-install midrange and highs make all the difference in your audio system. DS-Series Coaxial Speakers and 3-Way System provide the cost-effective ammo to keep up with your bass upgrade.
DS Speakers are the best value for serious, drop-in upgrades in your doors. The woofers bear a polypropylene cone, UV-treated ribbed surround, enduring voice coil, and an interior-pleasing fresh look. The half-inch tweeters take the performance cues of higher-end coaxials, using a super-strong neodymium magnet and PEI (polyether imide) dome for louder, better-sounding highs.
The DS Series comes in eight different sizes, including the new DS650 with 6.5-inch midrange drivers. DS Coaxials fit any speaker cutout, starting from the 3.5-inch DS350 up to a handy 6 x 8 DS680 if your ride requires them. The 6 x 9 offering is actually the thrashin' DS6930 3-way system which mixes in an additional 2-inch mid.
DS650 Features
CIMP (Curvilinear Injection-Molded Polypropylene Woofer Cones) A high performance composite, which remains rigid, minimizes cone flex and lowers harmonic distortion. The CIMP consists of a one-piece, injection-molded polypropylene material that moves as a piston, exhibiting power and control.
Enhanced BAM (Basket and Motor) Assembly Utilizes a high strength steel basket, features a low-profile open design, and provides a solid foundation for the precision-aligned motor assembly.
Optimized Polyfoam Ribbed Surround Radius This allows extended cone excursion for additional bass output and higher SPL, and couples the suspension into a conjoined linear-motion body.
High-Temp Polyimide Film Voice Coil Former improves sonic and conductive properties, and prevents thermal-electrical meltdown.
PEN Dome Tweeter with Neodymium Magnet Provides a smooth high frequency response with quick, detailed and spatially-correct imaging. PEN is an acronym for the space age material "biaxially oriented polypropylene naphthalate film"--your parents' tax dollars probably paid for its development, you might as well enjoy it.
High-Power Tinsel Lead Wires These eliminate broken leads and power loss, due to the common use of "insufficient-gauge" lead wires.
Ferro-Fluid Cooled tweeter voice-coil extends the high frequency transducer's life span.

(More customer reviews)I had needed a pair of speakers for my rear doors in my subaru forester. The mounting holes didnt match up so i had to custom drill a couple but no big problem. Dont expect bass but do expect an extremely clear audio experience for what you pay. The price is excellent. I would recommend these if you need decent quality aftermarket speakers.

Bazooka MAC6502W 6.5-Inch Marine Coaxial Speaker (White) Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I opted for the newer all white(re-designed) version of the Mac650's instead of the original teal and white ones that would have worked well with the color scheme of my mid-ninties boat because I was told that the newer ones had a much higher(93 Db, quite impressive, vs the original 88Db) sensitivity than the originals. I confirmed this with Bazooka and another reputible re-seller, as well. When my speakers shipped, the printing on the box for the newer speakers said 88 Db! Two other problems that I see with the design of these speakers are that the wires running along a brace on the back of the speaker are exposed and routed in a position that leaves them open to be cut or damaged during installation or possibly normal use/vibration, when they could have easily been integrated into the design of the brace and well insulated. Secondly, the screws provided for installation were just slightly too big for the holes in which they were meant to be located. My engineering background and just plain past experience tells me that the plastic these screws are forced into is going to crack come the first hot or freezing season these supposedly marine-grade speakers see. I used a dremel tool to increase the size of the pilot holes in the grills, but don't think anyone should have to do things like this. Based on these 3 design errors, I would not reccomend these speakers at this time. Yes, I do have a degree in Industrial design and would guess that the person who designed and packaged these speakers did not. They do sound good in combination with the Bazooka tube subwoolfer I also installed in my boat.

Sony XSMP1620W Marine Speaker, 6.5-Inch Woofer, and 2-Inch Tweeter Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I spent the extra money on the Sony speakers because I thought their materials/build quality would hold up better in the harsh marine environment, but after about a month on our 38 foot catamaran these speakers started to rust! Gradually a brown streak stained the speaker from the center cone to the bottom, leaching onto the fiberglass underneath it. While they still worked, I was surprised that a Sony product would start to degrade as fast as it did. Maybe it's impossible to build a speaker that won't do this, but in that case they should come in the color brown... Oh, the sound was great, so they still get two stars.
