Sound Ordnance

Our take on the Sound Ordnance™ P-40

by Buck Pomerantz

Win the battle for great sound. Sound Ordnance speakers invade your car's listening space with clear sonic reproduction that'll mobilize your music. You'll enjoy the new life these rugged speakers bring to your system, all at a budget-friendly price.

The P-40 4" speakers sport tough polypropylene cones that can handle just about any musical barrage. Mylar dome tweeters deploy the high frequencies effectively, so you hear all the details in your tunes. The black powder-finished stamped steel frames tell you that these Sound Ordnance speakers mean business, while a 3-year warranty gives you peace of mind for the long haul.

Highlights:

  • 4" 2-way car speakers (pair)
  • polypropylene woofer with foam surround
  • 1/2" Mylar dome tweeter
  • powder-finish stamped steel basket
  • power range: 2-30 watts RMS (60 watts peak power)
  • frequency response: 90-20,000 Hz
  • sensitivity: 84 dB

Better than my Toyota Supra Turbo OE speakers

Written By NickD, Wisconsin. on Wednesday, September 26, 2012
Installed in a 1988 Toyota Supra
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
First off, the application, Supra only comes with 4" speakers mounted in a plastic resonant box like Bose. And yes, they do sound like a 4" speaker in a plastic enclosure just like Bose. Actually the rears are 4 1/2" speaker with a more like square frame. No big deal, used 1/8" plywood to make a gasket, outline identical to the old speakers, hole for these round speakers.

This was Toyota's idea of providing bass, actually, the cone diameter of the fronts are 3 3/4", rears are 4" not really that much difference. My radio is stock and have no intention of changing it thinking some day, this car will be a classic. But I did invert the spare tire so I could mount a 10" Overdrive Woofer fed by both channels into an amplifier I designed for bass with a 40 watt output, you want bass, I got bass and a fair amount of midrange to boot. These four inch speakers solve the missing high range for me, and that is exactly what they do. So very pleased with them. Not interested in blowing my ears off, but virtually harmonic distortion free if I turn the volume to maximum. I had to add a volume control to my woofer amplifier to turn it down, more interested in a flat response.

I did look over the entire range of 4" speakers that Crutchfield sells, as well as some completive options. Crutchfield for as long as I can remember always treated me well. I see the top of the line 4" speakers they carry have a 600 buck price tag, But bet, really not much different than these.
Pros:
Inexpensive, weather proof cones, nice tweeters, easily handle around 15 watts and fit the application.
Cons:
Not 18" woofers in folded horn enclosures.

Sound Ordnance™ P-40

Written By 91Volvo240, Broken Arrow, OK on Monday, February 06, 2012
Installed in a 1991 Volvo 240 Series
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Bought these for the rear doors in my 91 Volvo 240. They fit well but after installing i realized that they didn't come with speaker grills as shown online and in the catalogue. Crutchfield was good to handle the resturn in a professional manner. ending up going with a 4" polk dxi and very pleased with the results.
Pros:
had pretty good sound especially for the money overall good construction. everything you need to install...except for speaker grills
Cons:
don't expect thumping bass for a little 4" speaker. lightening bolt on the tweeter is a little cheap looking

good sound, at moderate volume

Written By brian m., fall river ma. on Friday, February 03, 2012
Installed in a 1997 Jeep Wrangler
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
good speakers for the money. had to use 4in. because of mounting location. good sound well rounded sound quality , taking into account they are only 4inch drivers. no bottom end . i just turn the gain down on my 4 ch. amp and they balance nicely with the more powerful rears.
Pros:
good quality and price for the size.
Cons:
low power rating , no bass to speak of.

Easy to install in 2nd generation Toyota 4Runner (with slight modifications) to replace OEM speakers. Sound from speakers is great. Can't wait to install Sound Ordnance speakers to replace rear speakers. I would definitely recommend this product.

A step up.

Like the front speakers I bought. The sound is good, crisp, clear, and clean. A step up from factory. I plan to purchase a amp and sub from the same company.
