Pioneer - TS-A693CH - A-Series, 6" x 9", 2-Way, 460W Max, Aramid Fiber IMPP Cone, 20mm PEI Tweeter, Component Speakers, Pair - Black

Really good!! Pioneer never disappoint, these speakers already includes the mounting brackets for Subaru and Toyota in case you need them, so you don't have to buy the brackets separately!! I've installed them in the front doors on a Subaru Forester 2023. I'm attaching a picture that shows the difference in magnet size with the OEM speaker.

They sound amazing!!! And have not one issue to date!!

I really like the bass that these speakers put out.

I purchased a set of 6x8 and 6x9 for my 2004 Lincoln LS and these are on the deck. Now, full disclosure, I am running the 6x9 on the sub-out, so the tweeters are not getting any feed, just the woofer. Further, the factory woofers were falling apart due to age and weathered. I am not talking a little foam loss, I mean a full out decomposition. It probably has to do with the sun here in the southerly states. Any hoot, on to the speaker itself. The specifications call for 95 watt total, with 460 peak. As I mentioned I am basically not using the tweeter due to the crossover in the amp, however, these definitely do not handle the 460 peak watts. I have a capable amp, it is not factory, and it is turned down to the lowest setting both at the amp and the head unit. I thought maybe just letting them burn in a bit would help, but alas, they still can't really get there. I recognize they are only rated a 29hz-45khz, so the internal capacitor is cutting it out, but my guess the woofer is not getting much below the 100 hz, but i haven't tested. The bass is a bit spongy, the response just not great. I don't drive the car frequently (24k miles in 20 years...), so maybe I need to give them more time. That said, the 2-way is basically the same as the 6x8s in the door, and the performance on these can be found in my other reviews. Lastly, during installation the spacer rings kept popping off, it was very irksome. I finally decided to scrap them, and just used self-stick foam to fill the space between the front of the speaker and door panel. Finaly, on the sensitivity, I've had a few other brands to compare, namely JBL/Infinity, and these are the least sensitive 90+db I've heard. This could be the burn-in isnt quite done yet, but I would have liked a bit more volume without having to add another amp for the fronts (running off the head unit at 45x2) Likes: They are a thin speaker, and I believe the 6x8s should sound similar so on the full use, they are sound decent. Dislikes: If mounting from a rear deck or trying to fill big spaces like a trunk, I would look for something more robust. The snap/spacer rings are absolutely worthless, I'd forget those. Summary: I would recommend with reservations, if you have limited clearance, like I do in my doors, these do well in tight spots. If you have a trunk or larger cavity, I'd suggest seeking out a better option with more rigidity and higher power handling

Great set of speakers! Had to install new ones in an older car where the factory speakers never got used and basically fell apart. Only issue is the universal mounts they come with were too tall and we were not able to get the rear deck back on. Had to order special flat mounts. Not yours or Pioneer's fault. Car companies make these things so particular so it forces customers to go to the dealership and pay a ridiculous amount of money for them to do the purchase and install. Advice if you know someone who can do it...buy these speakers at a good price and order flat mounts for your vehicle based on year, make, and model. Save thousands of $$$!!! Great price for 2 sets of 2 speakers.
