About the Boston Acoustics S55
Boston Acoustic's S series speakers let you enjoy clear, natural sound, even with a low-powered system. And with a wide variety of sizes, you'll find a set for most commonly-sized speaker openings.
The Boston S55 5-1/4" speaker features a 3/4" tweeter with a built-in cooling system for long term reliability and excellent power handling. A contoured tweeter plane guides high-frequency output to create a larger listening "sweet spot," while Boston's Acoustical Modification Device (AMD) reduces harshness in the upper mids for clear, detailed sound.
The sturdy woofer cone teams up with a durable butyl rubber surround to produce tight, clean bass with minimal distortion. You'll hear a smooth blend between the woofer and tweeter, thanks to the built-in crossover.

Outstanding speakers. I just finished installing them as replacement door speakers in my 1990 Miata. Clear crisp sound and deep low base that I could never hear before in this car. Installation kit made the change over simple and worry free.
