Rockford Fosgate Prime R165X3 6.5" 3-Way Full Range Speakers (Pair)

They sound great in my 02 mustang convertible, replaced the blown factory speakers. Sound is, to my ear very clear and crisp. Easy to put in.

[3/23/2015, 3 days of ownership] Whilst I am unable to comment on the durability of these speakers, I would like to review the rest of them, as I have had them installed for 3 days now, and have had a decent level of experience with them and different ranges of audio to test how they perform. I will update this review in 3 months time, and then again in a years time to give updates on the quality, durability and to see if anything has changed over the time. These speakers are phenomenal and are available here on amazon for a bargain of a price. They can be found at Crutchfield.com for $69.99 instead of the $53 that I picked them up here on Amazon, which is a significant difference, however I do believe that when bought here on Amazon, these do not come with any warranty or support from Pioneer, as Amazon is not a certified retailer of their products, so that, coupled with the glorious customer support and free mounting brackets if needed, from Crutchfield, may be worth it in your situation. You must decide what's best for you. For me, however, it was price mostly. Firstly, I installed these in my 2003 Honda Civic EX Coupe, in the rear deck. They fit without any brackets or modifications. Coupled with some Metra Speaker Connector Harnesses, the installation for these was a total breeze. The cones are made of a nice durable-feeling polymer/plastic material that feels like it will not age poorly like many speaker cones. They also are stiff, but will flex when force is applied, giving them that nice "punchy" sound to most bass noises. The surround is made of a very rubbery and very flexible material that looks as though it would cut easily, given the right circumstances. The magnet on them is quite large and really give the impression these speakers are going for. The spider in in center looks high-quality and seems to be made of a hard fabric material. The tweeters are installed into the center of the woofers, at the very bottom of the cone. This is nice because (assuming these speakers are going into the rear of your vehicle), you don't want the highs going right into the passengers ears in the backseats. The grills that are included are a nice touch, and cover the entire cone and surround, and are very sturdy, although 9 times out of 10, you can't keep the grills on the speaker when you install them into a vehicle because there is no room for them unless you modify the interior panels of the vehicle. For specifications, I purchased the 6x9" speakers, which are 2-way speakers. They have a 65W RMS power handling, with a maximum nominal value of 130W. Frequency Response: 48Hz to 20kHz. Sensitivity: 90dB Impedence: 4 Ohms They have a mounting depth of 2.85" (72.4mm). As far as audio quality goes, these guys really do their job. I have these coupled with Pioneer TS-A1675R 6 1/2" speakers in the front door panels, 2 factory tweeters in either door pillar and a Pioneer DEH-X3500UI head unit (which has a built-in MOSFET 50W RMS amplifier), and they sound pretty great to say the least. I did have an issue with installation, as I didn't have a ratchet that would fit down into the ABS plastic that is on top of the surround on the top of the speaker frame, so I decided to modify the speakers and I took the ABS plastic piece off. This piece has adhesive underneath it, between it and the top of the surround, and if you pull too hard towards the center of the speaker, you will pull the surround off of the frame and un-adhere the surround from the frame, leaving gaps. I didn't make hardly any gaps in the surround adhesion, and the mounting screws held the surround down and a foam circle on the underside of the rear deck panel also helped hold the surround down, so I believe that isn't an issue. Just be warned, unless you can get ahold of some screws with a alan wrench head or phillips or flathead, you probably can't fit a ratchet socket down into the mounting notches in the plastic on the outer edge. In regards to the audio quality, don't forget that these aren't the only speakers I'm hearing, as I have the other 4 speakers I mentioned in the paragraph directly above this one. These speakers were really one of very few options I had for the rear deck of my vehicle, due to the fact that the bar that holds the trunk lid upright runs directly horizontally underneath the speaker mounting locations, meaning that I couldn't get anything that had a much bigger mounting depth than this, without risk of it not fitting, it touching the bar, or having to modify the trunk bar or something. You don't really need 3-way speakers in the rear of a vehicle, due to the fact that most people prefer to have the rear speakers handle the bass of the music they're listening to and have the front handle the mids and highs of the music, so these work perfectly in that regard. They have a nice sub-bass and bass sound, contrary to the fact that their frequency response is actually a bit more limited than many of the speakers I have seen, which was surprising. They put out some very solid bass response with the head unit amp power of about 14W RMS for each speaker, and fill in the mid and highs quite nicely for rear speakers and for 2-way speakers at that. There was only one single issue I had with them. Occasionally, if the head unit is on Super Bass EQ, or has Bass Boost up or a combination of the two or sometimes even on particular songs, when a bass sound goes through the speaker, it will vibrate a little immediately after the bass is finished, making a small rattling noise. After consulting an audio specialist at Crutchfield.com, he said that it likely was NOT due to the fact that I very slightly damaged the surround adhesive, but it was most likely that they aren't getting enough power as they should, so keep this in mind when considering this for a vehicle without an amplifier (but I'm sure it will still sound much better than factory speakers). All-in-all, I am very happy with my choice in speakers, as these perform very well, and give the responsiveness I was looking for. -------------------------------------------------------- [8/24/2015, 5 months after ownership] Alright, after having had these bad boys in my car for 5 months (and a day to be exact), I think I can safely say that I am certainly happy with my decision. These are absolutely perfect for the front doors of a car such as mine (2003 2-door Honda Civic). These provide a great low-end to the overall sound of the system and really brings out the bass from the Pioneers in the front door panels. They still perform as well as they did when I installed them and everything operates just fine. I still have no amp connected to any of my speakers, although I will be purchasing a subwoofer to install into the trunk soon. These are perfect for some low end noise to your car audio experience, they provide some great all around sound quality, but their lows are impressive for a speaker with no amp connected. By no means would I consider them audiophile quality, but they are lightyears ahead of the stock speakers you'll find in your factory car. They do, however, cause my some rattling in the trunk space area, but I've managed to muffle most of it, and that is no fault of the speaker itself. Still a solid purchase. -------------------------------------------------------- [5/10/2016. 1 year, 2 months after ownership] Still going strong. No issues at extremely loud volumes. After working on soundproofing some more of the car, they certainly sound great. Still recommend these.

Well worth the money they sound good could have a little more Bass though other wise they're really good for the money

These were actually a repeat purchase to replace two speakers that had failed (or just outlived their life expectancy). These speakers installed easily and showed good sound production.

Sound great. Wish I would’ve some with something the prioritized the low end a touch more. But what I feel this slightly lacks, it really makes up for in the mids and highs. Btw, does not fit a civic 96’-00’, slightly too large, but a true 6.5”.

I bought these back in 2017 to replace the blown factory door speakers (front and rear) in my 2010 GMC Sierra. The sound quality was decent with the factory head unit, but needed more power. That gave me the perfect excuse to upgrade the head unit. I am very happy to report that they have held up to about 8 1/2 years and over 100,000 miles over that span. Still sound great. If I was going to run a bigger amp, these wouldn’t handle it and I would need to swap them out. They get plenty loud and are clean sounding.

My Camry does not have all the fancy, multi, amplified, whoopty-doo sound system. Therefore, it is the Panasonic. Replaced the stock, cheaply made, 2012 Toyota Camry rear deck Pioneer speakers. (To be honest, they are not marked Pioneer, but their coding and place of manufacture point to that Pioneer factory.) Toyota uses some weird oval shaped speaker mount that actually has a round speaker in it. A cheap one cone two-way. All one-piece plastic. AND, Toyota mounting holes for the oval are NOT standard by any means or stretch of the imagination!! The hole is too large. Then you get into another $15-20 for adapters. Toyota again: the doors and rear deck oval mounts are NOT the same. WTH? Anyway, a little Dremel work getting the round junk part out gets the old plastic mount. SOME say the remainder won't hold the solid metal mounts of this speaker. Not true. Those replacement adapters are plastic also. Three holes lined up with easy places in the old plastic. I then drilled two more, giving me a 5-point secure mount. Since the bracket had the original deck mounting holes, it was easy to slip it under the deck shelf and lining without removing the whole thing again. (I had it out once for sound deadening.) Then you either need wiring adapters to plug into Toyota speaker harness ends and attach to the speaker. Only $5-6 so not worth messing with. The adapter spade adapters were slightly under sized. I cut them off and soldered directly to the spades on the speakers. One less loose fit to worry about. One problem with original Toyota speakers is you really have to fade to the rear to hear them at all. Even if someone is sitting back there. Since my front speakers are -88db sensitivity, I bought the -91db for the rear. That really should have doubled what I get from the front but it does not. If I had it to do again, I would opt for -94db which are hard to find. That said, these are a definite improvement over stock. And, they are loud enough that a slight fade (one "notch") to Rear brings them into the system for the front seat. Adding some foam baffles with two cut outs to the back of the speakers gave me the exposed trunk protection I wanted and a slight bass boost. There is no--and will not be any--sub-woofer. Songs that have bass, have bass!!

These are decent. Installed them in a M7060 Kubota tractor. They aren't super clear. They are louder than the stock speakers but crackle slightly when getting above moderate volume. Not distorted cracking, just like the music isn't super clear. Again an upgrade but if you can, go with Kickers.

Super product

音に詳しい訳ではないですが、良い音出てると思います。パイオニアの半値以下の物を検討してましたが、知人に勧められての選択です。

音質が良い

Great sound quality but NO BASS.

Fit perfectly into the stock holes of my 1993 Miata. Sound better than previous speakers
