Sony

Why replace your car's original speakers?

The speakers that originally came in your car were made from inexpensive materials, designed to create acceptable sound at the lowest possible cost to the manufacturer. If you love music, you deserve better. Name-brand aftermarket speakers deliver fuller, richer sound with considerably more detail and nuance, and they're capable of playing louder and cleaner than factory speakers. Connect new speakers to your factory radio and you'll get the best possible sound from your dealer-equipped system. Pair them up with a new car stereo for a level of enjoyment that can rival a high-fidelity home audio experience.

Our take on the Sony Xplōd™ XS-GT1327A

by Buck Pomerantz

Replace your car's factory speakers with these Sony Xplōd GT Series speakers, and you'll hear the full impact of your music, along with lots of little details you may not have heard before.

The XS-GT1327A 5-1/4" speakers feature woofer cones made from Highly Oriented Polyolefine, a lightweight material developed by Sony that's especially rigid and strong. Sony reinforces these cones with the same Aramid fibers that are used in bulletproof vests, so they'll stand up to high-volume playback. Each speaker features a 1" balanced dome tweeter that reproduces lively high notes and adds presence to the instruments and vocals. Sony includes cool-looking grilles if you're not going to use the grilles that came in your vehicle.

Highlights:

  • 5-1/4" 2-way car speakers (pair)
  • Aramid-reinforced Highly Oriented Polyolefine (H.O.P.) woofer with cloth surround
  • P.E.N. (polyethylene naphthalate) balanced dome tweeter
  • grilles included
  • power range: 2-35 watts RMS (150 watts peak power)
  • frequency response: 60-24,000 Hz
  • sensitivity: 88 dB
  • top-mount depth: 1-13/16"
  • warranty: 1 year
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

    Features

    Woofers: The woofers are made of Highly Oriented Polyolefine (HOP) reinforced with aramid fibers, which is 30 times as strong as regular poly. Use of this material results in less distortion and better, quicker bass response.

    Treated Cloth Surrounds: Each woofer uses a treated cloth surround for added reliability and efficiency.

    PEN Diaphragm Tweeters: Each speaker uses a 1" PEN (Polyethlylene Naphthalate) diaphragm balanced dome tweeter for fast transient highs with lower distortion.

    emits sounds at an expected lvl for price point

    i would recommend this set of speakers if you need to replace your existing stock speakers because they are blown or just plain suck. Not gonna blow you away, but if you expect that you will get that for 50 bucks you're crazy.
    Pros:
    emits energy in the form of sound without distortion, easy to install with supplied adapter from crutchfield
    Cons:
    doesn't make my car go faster, doesn't compare to $100+ speakers (weird!?)

    Not sure on sound quality, but speaker size was way to small for original speaker hole. Crutchfield recommended 5 1/2 in but takes 6 1/2 inch. not a big deal, printed off a return label from Crutchfield, and sent them back.
    Pros:
    None
    Cons:
    Wrong Size

    I love my new speakers and I love how Crutchfield knew exactly what size I needed for my car because I didn't know. At first I was a little worried that the information wouldnt be correct, but then I recieved my speakers from UPS and installed them. They were a perfect fit! Thanks Crutchfield!!!

    Good Speakers

    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    These are very good speakers. They sound very crisp and clear. But, these speakers are too small to reproduce bass very clearly. If i could redo my order, i would go up to the 6 1/2s instead. I bought those for my rear speakers, and am very pleased with them. If you can put these in your vehicle, you should aslo be able to use a 6 1/2 in the same spot, and if you do, you will be very pleased.

    My stock speakers in my '99 Jeep Cherokee were working fine when I parked my Jeep 5 years ago, as were the two 12" subs.. When I pulled it out of storage last year, the stereo still worked fine but, one by one, the speakers started to fail. I was down to the right front stock speaker and two 12" subs.......My system sounded horrible!!!!! I decided to upgrade through Crutchfield. I went on the website and searched for speakers for my vehicle. It was straight to the point and gave me the speakers that fit my Jeep. I chose the Sony Xplod speakers, front and rear, as economical replacements. The installation was very easy thanks to the wiring harnesses supplied by Crutchfield. The resulting sound is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!! Before, I could hear more bass than anything because of the amp and two 12" subs in the back, but now I can hear all the mids and highs over the heart skipping bass that I already had. These are great stock speaker replacements for the price!!!!!!!! THANKS CRUTCHFIELD!!!!!!!

    Simply amazing.

    Written By Andrew, Wooster, OH on Wednesday, April 20, 2011
    Installed in a 1996 Plymouth Voyager
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I bought these to replace a pair of Eclipse SE-5000's I had in the dash. The
    right one blew and I needed a replacement, but the Eclipses were out of
    warranty. I chatted with an advisor (Keith) and he quickly directed me to these.
    They came fast and they were a breeze to install since I had already done all
    the custom wiring because I already have a complete system. I just had to
    unplug the Eclipses and plug these in in their place.

    IMMEDIATELY after putting them in and twisting that volume knob, I noticed a
    noticeable difference in sound quality. A good difference. The highs are
    extremely clear and crisp, the mids are nice and punchy, and the bass is
    decent for this speaker size. I have 2 12" Sony Xplod subwoofers for bass, but I
    faded the sound to the front for a minute to hear what just these were doing. Not
    bad, Sony!

    I picked up the Eclipses for $10 more than these on Crutchfield a couple years
    ago. It's absolutely amazing how fast speaker quality is progressing these
    days. These are much better.

    Very happy and very impressed.

    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I'm not an expert about car stereos in any way... I have no idea about
    harnesses/wiring, tearing off panels in my Civic- but I did it! The speakers aren't top
    quality but a great replacement for the stock speakers. Now that I've put the back
    speakers in, I need to replace the front ones. Overall with the help of the installation
    guide (Master sheet) from Crutchfield, I was able to do this all on my own. It took a
    little longer than expected (about 2 hours). Without the Masters sheet, I would have
    been lost.

    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I added 2pair of Sony Xplod 2 way speakers to replace my factory speakers. My
    stock speakers were the oval 6X8 but I wanted round speakers; so I replaced them
    with the 5.25" speakers. Crutchfield provided every adapter necessary to install
    the Sony speakers FREE of Charge! Along with exact vehicle instructions and not
    just for installing speakers; it was a full on audio installation guide. which
    included everything you need to know to remove stock audio and install after
    market audio. I was very impressed! The sound is amazing! I can finally crank up
    the volume without any distortion. I don't need to waist anymore time and
    money going to those stereo shops! Thanks Crutchfield!!!

    the stock speakers in the yaris sounded better. No bass at all with the sony's. Decent highs.
    Maybe if a good amp and not the stock stereo was driving them. They really did sound worse than stock but one was blown.
