Our take on the Pioneer TS-D6902R

Car audio enthusiasts know that replacing your factory speakers is the first step towards better sound. Pioneer TS-D6902R 6"x9" speakers sport innovative technologies and materials that'll put your car's sound miles ahead of where it was.

The journey begins with the innovative woofer — a high-tech composite material made from basalt and Aramid creates a rigid, lightweight cone. This design supplies solid midbass punch with exceptional midrange definition, while its rubber surround ensures smooth cone excursion. An extra-thick stamped metal basket supports the woofer cone, dampening vibrations and resonances that can unduly color your music's natural sound.

The oversized soft-dome tweeter radiates impressive highs, aided by a special wave guide that improves off-axis performance — meaning you'll get better stereo imaging throughout your car. A sealed rear chamber allows the tweeter to reach lower into the midrange to improve the definition of vocals and instruments. The tweeter's compact and powerful neodymium magnet provides excellent performance even when the power levels are cranked.

Features

Dual-Layer IMX Aramid/Basalt Fiber Composite Cone: The Pioneer D-Series speaker features Dual-layer IMX (Injection-molded Matrix) aramid/basalt fiber composite cone woofers. Used in the surface layer, this Aramid/Basalt Fiber material is rigid and absorbent, enhancing stability and maintaining integrity throughout a wide temperature range. The woofers also have butyl rubber surrounds for a smoother response, heat resistant voice coil, and 23-ounce Strontium magnets.

Rear Chamber Tweeter Enclosure: The Pioneer D-Series speakers feature an exclusive rear chamber tweeter enclosure. This design extends mid-range frequency for improved vocal imaging and staging. The TS-D6902R's 1-1/8" soft dome tweeters also utilize wave guides to control sound dispersion to make sound stage wider in the car. In addition, the tweeter uses a magnetic fluid neodymium magnet for higher efficiency.

Grilles: The speakers come with black steel mesh grilles with silver heat-proof resin frames.

Pretty good speakers

Written By marc d, brevard county, FL on Thursday, January 12, 2012

These speakers sound pretty good in the rear doors of my dodge ram 2010. I have 80 watts of precision power running to them, and they serve the purpose of rear fill very well. They actually put out a nice amount of bass and sound good for a 6x9. I have Boston Acoustics pro 60 se's up front in the doors, and they do not compare to the clarity of them. All in all though, they are some of the better sounding 6x9's I have had (Ive used infinity ref before and they sound better than those).

Pros:

sound pretty good, quality construction

Cons:

huge magnet!

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

Crutchfield Customer Review

The reviewer purchased this item from us, verified by the email address on the order.

I have always had faith in Pioneer products and so I decided, with my limited 6x9 options, to purchase these. Well, they fit my 03 Ram 1500 perfectly and sounded fantastic until about one month later, when the capacitor located on the outside of the speaker housing decided to melt and pop. I am convinced that it wasn't abuse because I do not listen to my music at an ear piercing level nor was it hooked up to an aftermarket amp. It just plain old was a lemon I suppose. I still believe in Pioneer, but I will be hesitant before I purchase another set of car speakers with their name on it.
