Are these speakers any good?


Recommended Posts

They are better than stock by a long shot. But I would get a 3-way instead of a 2. (I said 3-way)

 

But last night I saw those Pioneer 3ways from circit city at walmart for cheaper.

 

 

 

 

And if you can buy it at Walmart, it probable isn't worth putting in.

Fork out a few dollars more and get a better speaker unless you are just planning on driving them from your factory deck. I agree with the above post. I've bought stuff at walmart for my stereo before and it just isn't the same as the things for a few bucks more.

Those are :crazy: .

 

 

Look, first you have to tell me what kind of receiver/amp your running. For stock head unit, a cheap set of pioneers will do but for any quality head unit your going to spend some real $$ on speakers.

 

My last rig had JL Audio amps and i ran Focal fronts (read $750 a pair) and Pioneer in the rear, with a JL Audio stealthbox 12" Sub.

 

Go to you local car audio store NOT CIRCUIT CITY or any of the like, and listen to different speakers thru different amps! Dont jump on the first pretty colored pair that comes along.

I just changed out all four OEM's with Sony 6.5" 3-ways (model XS-V1630A. Much clearer and brighter than the factorys! I like how the red shines through the grille. They're rated at 55W with a 220W peak. About $80 CDN for a pair. I still debating whether a 4-channel amp is required to further drive these babies.

They say the bass isnt good, but...anybody try these suckers?

 

 

 

 

Yep, I just put a pair of these in my '06 Seirra Regular Cab. They are last years models, the current one's are Model TS-G-1641R. The tweeters are different (dome vs cone). Anyway, I put last years model in the doors and the current 4X6s in the "B" pillar. They are model TS-G-4641R. Sound is much better than stock. The base is weak, but OK. Crutchfield had them (the 6.5" rounds) for $39.95. If I had it to do over again, I do the same thing. Sound good, and don't break the bank, and Crutchfield gives you excellent instructions and wire adapters.

    • Hey guys, sorry for the confusison about this. This wasn't my experainnce, it was copied and pasted fom the net. 
    • The problem with failure rates or increase failures are there’s people who don’t have a problem. What are you doing wrong they say. We had 4 5.7 GM diesel’s in the family when they came out. One was flawless. My uncle who happened to be the most abusive. Early rotary engines were known to use oil. I abused my first car so bad in six months I replaced the clutch, transmission and rear end. It didn’t use oil. My brother in law has a 2013 Tahoe and an older Yukon. The Yukon has 280K miles. The Tahoe around 175K. He runs them to about 300K. If his lifters fail before that time he would consider it a failure. My Hondas, I know people hate it when I mention them. Identical engines. One with cylinder deactivation one doesn’t have it. One shudders when the eco light goes on or off. Cylinder deactivation. But wait! According to the web. It can happen with lock up too. So now people in the know are changing the oil and transmission fluid more often. Then you read it could be a programing issue. So what do you do? There’s lots of money involved. I see three ways to deal with it. One only works if you don’t drive lots of miles. Lease, never get out of warranty. Or only buy older vehicles with a good track record. They all have bad runs. Usually when there’s a change. Even Toyota and Honda. 
    • Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/        
    • UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update  
    • GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.
