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-GT6937A

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-GT6937A 6"x9" 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 3-way speaker features a 7/16" dome tweeter and a 2-3/8" cone midrange driver that reproduce lively high and midrange notes, adding 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:

  • 6"x9" 3-way car speakers (pair)
  • Aramid-reinforced Highly Oriented Polyolefine (H.O.P.) woofer with cloth surround
  • 7/16" P.E.N. (polyethylene naphthalate) diaphragm dome tweeter
  • 2-3/8" P.E.N. cone midrange
  • grilles included
  • power range: 2-60 watts RMS (300 watts peak power)
  • frequency response: 40-22,000 Hz
  • sensitivity: 89 dB
  • top-mount depth: 2-15/16"
  • warranty: 1 year
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

    Features

    Woofers: The woofers are made of Highly Oriented Polyolefine (HOP) reinforced with aramid and carbon fibers. This material is stronger that regular polypropylene and 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 7/16" PEN (Polyethlylene Naphthalate) diaphragm dome tweeter for fast transient highs with lower distortion.

    PEN Midranges: Each speaker uses a 2-3/8" Pen (Polyethlylene Naphthalate) cone midrange for great linearity, smooth response and accurate mid-bass.

    These Sony speakers are simply amazing! Cannot wait to get in my car to go to work in the morning! The sound of music through these speakers pleases the ears and nakes every genre of music soud great! Replaced the factory speakers in the rear dash of my Honda and cannot wait to replace the front door speakers. It's like being at a concert while I am driving!!!

    For not going crazy on the wallet for speakers, I am impressed with the sound these supply for my Accord. I do not have an amp or sub in the car and the bass sounds pretty good for just attaching to the head unit.
    Pros:
    Easy to install. Sound. Price
    Cons:

    Nice Sound

    Written By Marty, Belleville, IL on Monday, April 23, 2012
     
    They sound great even with my factory stereo. All ranges (high, mid, low) blend well without one being overwhelming.
    Pros:
    Look good, sound good, good price.
    Cons:
    Bass could be a little stronger. Though that could mainly be due to the factory stereo.

    Surprised

    Written By Nate, Eugene, Oregon on Thursday, April 05, 2012
    Installed in a 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I read reviews before I purchased and installed these. I didn't believe the reviews about the bass but I actually have less bass coming from these than my stock speakers which were the same size unknown brand. I have played around with settings and have everything hooked up right. The mids and highs sound better but it is definitely lacking bass(which could be my own expectation). I have a kenwood with the latest mosfet so its not that. These would be perfect if I had subs cause these things do crank up pretty good if the bass settings are lowered. Overall, I think they are good speakers but I was expecting more like what you hear from a premium factory stereo on a new car (bass wise). I can't wait to get subs cause I know these things will deliver the mids and highs really loud and clear without crackling.
    Pros:
    Fits as stated, clear sound, mids and highs.
    Cons:
    Bass

    Great speakers

    Written By Chris M., Clifton Park, NY on Sunday, March 18, 2012
    Installed in a 1999 Honda Accord
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    For the price, these speakers are great. The bass is strong and punch, and the highs are sharp and clear. The mid-range is pretty decent as well. At really cranked up volumes, I've only got some distortion and muddled vocals on extremely bass heavy songs, namely "how low" by ludacris. Other then that these speakers are amazing. I would definitely buy them again
    Pros:
    Strong, clear, hard hitting bass Crystal clear highs Cheap price
    Cons:
    Some distortion at really high levels on bass heavy songs

    Best Bang for the Buck!

    Written By T Cooper, Wauwatosa, WI on Wednesday, February 22, 2012
    Installed in a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    When my original 6x9's started clipping I knew it was time for a new set of speakers. I took a cance on these Sony's and have discovered a new realm of music....I cannot believe just how much music I was missing! Since my auto is a convertible space is somewhat limited. But these Sony's fit right in and with the "included" connector's I was finish installing them in under 25 minutes. Great sound....it actually took my ears a couple of days to adjust to what I was hearing, but now (1 week later!) I cannot for the life of me understand why I waited so long to do this upgrade! And upgrade it is, my sound is much richer, and the bass is really good. The price I paid for them was reasonable and cost effective! Crutchfield has always set the standard in a great sales experience! My shipment arrived fast, the quick connectors was an easy install and now....well now I've realized just how bad my front speakers sound, so I'll be in the market for a set of those as well! Heck since I'm at it a new head unit will be my "LIst of things to do in 2012"
    Pros:
    Great sound, easy install
    Cons:
    not a very heavy amount of Bass, but let's face it...if your a "bass-head" and enjoy that uber heavy beat, no 6x9's are going to fulfill that need....you need to install these and add some true Sub Woofers and a couple o' amps while your at it!

    Skrillex will kill these speakers

    Written By A. Hennessy, Boston, MA on Saturday, February 18, 2012
    Installed in a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Installed these in my 2006 Dodge 1500 with S/O 50x4 RMS amp. Sounds great at lower volumes with lots of high end detail. But if a song comes on that "requires" more volume the speakers will clip. I have a seperate subs, and my high pass filter takes the bass away from the car speakers. I also have the gain set way low and I still have problems. Ive complained to Skrillex but he hasnt gotten back to me. Will probobly upgrade to Rockford or Boston Acc. eventually.
    Pros:
    Great clarity and high end detail, low price
    Cons:
    RMS wattage handling may be a bit overstated. If your putting these in front of an amp with any balls be careful, you may get frustrated. Otherwise they sound great if they are powered just by the head unit.
