About the Pioneer TS-A1686R

Alexander H.

Serious impact

Pioneer's pumped-up TS-A Series gives you a powerful speaker solution with a friendly price tag so that you don't go over budget building a whole system. Pair these TS-A1686R 6-3/4" 4-way speakers with a new car stereo for a refreshing sonic upgrade, or go all the way and power them with an outboard amp. Either way, these Pioneers will handle up to 60 watts RMS, so you'll have a high ceiling for cranking your jams.

Listen with authority

The 4-way speakers deliver a satisfying punch, thanks to a woofer cone made of reinforced mica for rigidity and responsiveness. Pioneer adds an extra midrange driver so you get the most out of chunky guitar riffs, powerful drums, and distinct bass lines that otherwise would remain hidden when listening on sub-par speakers. Pioneer's two dome tweeters add in all the high-frequency details that make music exciting.

Packaged with streamlined grilles for custom installation, you can count on these versatile speakers for a lifetime of enjoyment in your car.

Product Research

Features

Woofers: The multi-layer mica matrix cone was developed to provide an extra light, yet rigid diaphragm to reproduce full, rich sound.

Surrounds: For durability and a smooth response, each woofer uses an elastic polymer (synthetic rubber) surround.

Midrange: Each speaker has a 1-1/8" balanced dome midrange with a neodymium magnet.

Tweeters: Each speaker uses a 3/8" dome tweeter and 3/8" dome super tweeter made from PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) film for crisp, clear highs.

Size Classification Note: These speakers are marketed as both 6-1/2" and 6-3/4"; they will fit standard 6-1/2 speaker openings, but do not use the industry standard bolt pattern (then again, neither do many car manufacturers at this point). Without using an adapter bracket or drilling new screw holes, the speakers fit many standard 6-3/4 applications, thus we describe them as 6-3/4. Please enter your vehicle information to confirm fit.

Q
Will these fit the lower portion of my 2014 Ford Focus Titanium Hatchback With Sony 6 Speaker System?

You can check to see if this will fit your vehicle by using our Outfit My Car tool: http://www.crutchfield.com/car/carselector.aspx For additional details on fit or installation please contact an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. They will be able to pull up your vehicle and give you the details on if this will fit and what you will need for an installation in your vehicle.

Q
Why wouldn't these fit a gmc terrain? I'm sure there are adapter plates?
aaron  May 04, 2018

A
Much depends on the specific year, trim package and mounting location in the vehicle. I can tell you that in a few of the GMC Terrain installations I checked, the Pioneer TS-A1686R was too tall to fit under the available clearance of the factory grill covers. For additional assistance and personalized recommendations, feel free to contact us directly by phone or through our online chat service: https://www.crutchfield.com/support/ContactUs.aspx

The TS-A4676R 4" x 6" 3-way speakers will not fit, but the TS-A1686R speakers can fit with speaker mounting brackets we offer free with the purchase of the speakers. Feel free to contact an advisor on 1-800-324-9695 for help on this My Bio: http://www.crutchfield.com/Support/Bio.aspx?bio=101

What's the difference between Pioneer models TS-A1686(R) and Pioneer TS-A1686(S)?

Thanks for your question. For information on comparing two or more models I would recommend reaching out to an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. They will be able to help determine the differences and help you make the best choice for your system and your budget.

Q
Looking to install these in the door with the Pioneer TS-A4676R set in the rear. Would running both sets to a 45W, 4 channel amp be an issue? Concern is with the difference in RMS wattage between the speaker sets.
ajven643  Feb 13, 2017

A
That sounds like a solid match between the Pioneer speakers and amplifier--if your amp has adjustable gains, then you may want to lower the rear gain to get optimal output from front to rear. If you would like to discuss further, feel free to contact an Advisor directly by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. Hope that helps!
david  Feb 23, 2017 (Staff)
Q
Is it 60 Watts RMS per speaker, or is this rating by the pair?
eric  Oct 31, 2016

Thanks for your question. The measurements would be for each speaker. Hope that helps.
