PowerBass OE65C-TY 6.5" 120W OE Series 2-Way Component Speaker System

Just put these into play recently, so I'll write up a little info while still fresh in my head. This kit makes the process dead simple for a Gen 2 (2005-2009) Toyota Prius. These replace the stock component speakers in the front. Tweeter fit into the housing simple enough. No bracket was necessary and it seemed like a fairly snug fit, however I did add a little adhesive strip foam to the front of it and that may have helped it fit so snugly. It's not the exact size of the oem tweeter, but close enough and no problems so far. Then taking the rest of the door off was not a huge deal (2 screws, snap out some fasteners + unhook window/lock cables and it all lifts right off). Drilling the rivets out of the stock speaker housings is a pain. You'll need a 1/8" drill bit. I snapped mine during the process, so maybe think about having a spare as well. Always wear safety glasses for that for sure. Then, these speakers drop right in and the wiring adapter is a nice touch. Then you have to rivet it back in, and I kind of wish they included clips/screws so that could be an option. I hate rivets. But can't fault them for sticking with what the oem design is. Everything went back together just fine and overall this was not a difficult install, and much better sound. The stock speakers were complete trash and had these tiny little magnets. I can hear bass now! I mean, not meant to be a subwoofer, but it's nice to have a little more than just vocal midrange. Contrast this to the experience I had putting some cheaper ones in the rear of the prius, which were not a kit like this but just standard speakers. It was a rough ride, had to take the stock speaker bracket and modify it and drill into the plastic to fit the new speakers, and ended up killing one in the process since my drill slipped while doing all the drilling. For the price of 2 of those sets of speakers and all the rivets and time spent drilling and dremeling, I probably just could have gone powerbass coaxials (OE652-TY) in the rear as well. Think about it!

They fit perfectly and improve the factory audio, but might need to install an amplifier to get the full potential of the speakers.

Review summary- definitely recommend, especially for someone who is not very experienced with this type of job. Just installed in about an hour. Come with everything needed to fit my 17 Corolla. You'll need a drill to get the old speakers out as the are riveted in. And a rivet tool to put the new ones in or you'll need your own screws. The sound is good with a factory head unit. Fairly noticable at normal listening volumes and significantly clearer at higher volumes. My only complaint is the tweeter didn't fit quite right. The ring around it was a tad thicker than the clips are long. With a little work you can get 2 of the 3 clips to grab and hold.

Good base zero low mid good tweeters. Buy a pioneer instead for 20 bucks at AutoZone. Oh, and they don’t fit had to cut steel.

These pretty much work as advertised. Simply plug and play. At least for my 2015 Toyota RAV4. The Tweeter Mount was only long enough for one bolt to hold it in. I just used electrical tape to hold down the other side so it doesn't vibrate or move around. You do need a rivet gun to install the door speakers. Sound quality was significantly better than stock speakers. They are louder, have more bass, and more clarity overall. I highly recommend them!
