Why install component speakers?

A component speaker system gives you the best possible performance from your car audio system. A system consists of separate woofers, tweeters, and crossovers, each designed to cover one specific range of frequencies. As separate components, the woofer can move freely to deliver more powerful performance, while the tweeter can be custom-mounted in a better spot up closer to your ears, revealing a whole new world of detail. Separate crossovers are far superior to the simple filters wired into full-range speakers, so the components work together for smoother, more focused sound.

Our take on the MTX TNS65

Step up your sound                             

If you're looking for a big upgrade in sound without a huge outlay of cash, take a look at the MTX Terminator line of car speakers. You'll be amazed at how much better your music sounds once you've replaced your burned-out factory speakers with a set of these quality MTX Terminators. And they're protected by MTX's unique 5-year warranty.

    Our Product Research Team

    At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box, verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

    Features

    Tweeter Mounting Options: The tweeters can be flush mounted, surface mounted, or angle mounted. The angled mount is a semi-surface mount, because most of the housing sits above the mounting surface, but a small portion is counter sunk into the panel. The tweeter can pivot in the flush and surface mount housings.

    Tweeter Dimensions:

      Frame Width Frame Length Cutout Diameter Mounting Height Mounting Depth
    Flush Mount 1.842" 1.842" 1.643" 0.113" 0.91"
    Surface Mount 1.892" 1.892" N/A 0.87" 0.54" (Screw Depth)
    Angled Mount 1.783" 2.11" 1.4" x 1" 1" 0.764" (Screw Depth)

    Crossovers: The tweeter crossover is built into the tweeter casing. The woofer uses its natural mechanical frequency roll off.

    Woofer Mounting: The woofers fit into standard 6-3/4 and 6-1/2 openings, but the bolt pattern is the symmetrical 4-hole 6-3/4. When mounted in a typical 6-1/2 location, new screw holes must be drilled.

    Warranty: Although the speaker reviewed and measured (taken from our first shipment) included information indicating a 1 year warranty, MTX recently changed to a 5-Year Prorated Warranty with the following terms:

    • Years 1-2: Products found to be defective in materials or workmanship during the first two years will be, at Mitek's option, repaired or replaced by Mitek at no charge. The warranty period does not renew, but continues on from the original date of purchase.
    • Years 3-5: The purchase price of an item which becomes defective after the first two years and prior to the end of the warranty period will be prorated and credited toward the purchase of a new MTX product. The amount of proration is determined by dividing the original purchase price by the number of months in the warranty period (60), then multiplying the result by the number of months remaining in the warranty period.

    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Bought these to replace factory speakers.Not the sound I thought I'd get but when I change the head unit I'm sure they will sound better. Factory head just doesn't have the power for these.
    Pros:
    Easy to install
    Cons:
    Not very good sound. But it's because of my factory head unit not having enough power

    Great Choice

    Written By Alex S., St. Louis, MO on Wednesday, April 24, 2013
    Installed in a 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I wanted something inexpensive to replace the 20 year old stock speakers in my 93 grand cherokee. After looking around for about a MONTH, I found these. I already have 2 MTX subs in my car, so I figured that I couldn't go wrong.

    These took about 3 hours to install only because I had to run the wires back threw my door boot. If you have the same car as me (93 Jeep Grand Cherokee), then the best place I found for the tweeters was on the dash, in the font metal grills.

    Sound wise these are amazing!!! I listen to ALL types of music and almost all sounds perfect. The only issue I found was with some electronic music (i.e. dubstep), which can get a little high pitched with the tweeters. I can't comment on bass because, like a said, I have subs.

    Overall, these are great and I would recommend them to any one.
    Pros:
    Highs. How easily it was installed
    Cons:
    None at the moment!

    Written By Shaun, Portland on Monday, April 22, 2013
    Installed in a 2001 Honda Accord
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Just installed these on the weekend in my 2001 accord. Pretty good speakers for the price. The bass isn't too great, but i'm not too worried because I'm getting a sub later one. However, I had to drill holes in my front doors to mount the speakers because they did not fit in the factory ones. Not much of a con, but I also had to drill holes in the 6x9 mounts that I got. Mounted the tweeters on my doors and so far I like the speakers. Can't wait for the subwoofer though.
    Pros:
    Great product for the price
    Cons:
    Had to drill holes in door and speaker mount that was provided.

    Inexpensive upgrade

    Written By JasonF, Columbus, OH on Wednesday, April 17, 2013
    Installed in a 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I bought these for my 04 Trailblazer EXT because my rear speakers were blown. Figured I would replace my front door speakers while I was at it. Installation was easy for the woofers, only had to cut off two small tabs on the speaker brackets on each door for a perfect fit. For the tweeters I decided to surface mount the rear doors and angle mount the front doors (surface mount is also an option). This required cutting out holes in the door panels (I used my Dremel tool), which was mostly easy. The mounting brackets for the tweeters were kind of flimsy in my opinion (i broke one during installion), but they do the job as long as you don't over tighten them. Wiring up the tweeters also required some soldering so be prepared for that.

    Overall I am happy with the look and sound quality of the speakers. Definitely hearing things I was missing with my factory speakers. Clarity is very good even turned up all the way. Not much bass to speak of, so if that is part of your MUST have list these won't be for you (I am working on my own custom sub enclosure, so I was't concerned with bass output).

    These are a great value if you are comfortable with some modifications to your car and just looking for improved sound quality over factory speakers.
    Pros:
    Good value, solid construction, sound quality (mid-high), mounting options
    Cons:
    bass output , tweeter mounting brackets (flimsy)
