Sound Ordnance

Our take on the Sound Ordnance™ P-46

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-46 4"x 6" 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"x6"/4"x6"m 2-way car speakers (pair)
  • polypropylene woofer with foam surround
  • 1/2" Mylar dome tweeter
  • powder-finish stamped steel basket
  • power range: 2-35 watts RMS (70 watts peak power)

Reviews for the Sound OrdnanceT P-46

Written By gary, Charlottesville, VA on Wednesday, May 08, 2013
 
Not a bad set of speakers but not as clear a sound from the pioneer speakers they replaced.
Pros:
Decent sound
Cons:
Not as wide a range (low end) as the pioneer's they replaced

Good OEM replacement

Written By JasonM, Las Vegas, NV on Wednesday, March 13, 2013
Installed in a 1996 Chevrolet Blazer
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
For what I spent on these they aren't bad sounding at all. Be aware though, that these are great for OEM speaker replacement. Which means they aren't designed to crank the snot out of them and expect them to play clear and vibrant. But for someone just wanting good, clear sound from a non-amplified, non-customized sound system, these do great.
Pros:
Great design appearance. Universal mount hole options for many applications.
Cons:
Not built for amplified power.

They sound very nice and weren't that hard to put in with the instructions and wiring harness. The hardest part was drilling the holes for the screws. I'd never used a drill before. LoL

It's the cheapest 4x6 speaker Crutchfield sells and it works fine. It plays music, good highs, decent lows and is far better than the factory units that they replaced. Win.
Pros:
Cheap, sound good
Cons:
None

Fits in S10 with some work

Written By Richard C, Preston, ID on Saturday, March 17, 2012
Installed in a 2003 Chevrolet S10
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
First and foremost this speaker said it would not fit in my 2003 Chevrolet S10 with RDS..... After measuring I decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did, by drilling a couple of easy holes, and using the grill screws for line up, they were able to fit right in. Everything looks just like it did before the install and they sound great. So much better than the stock speakers, not even funny.
Pros:
Good sounding speakers.
Cons:
Fit rating wrong on the website.... at least for simple modification installs.

I put them in and they fit but I only had them in for two weeks and my right speaker is broke. I don't even listen to my music loud. I am going to send them back to get a exchange on a new set.
Pros:
Clarity nice bass
Cons:
The fact that it broke for no reason

Excellent

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
These speakers sound great and were an easy install into my 1983 BMW 320. The
hardest part was fixing the work from the previous speaker installation which
was done by a well-known national car audio company. After seeing the work of a
so called "professional" car audio installer, I'll be doing my own work from now on.

Very Poor Fit

Written By Chuck, Blacksburg, VA on Friday, August 13, 2010
Installed in a 1989 Pontiac Bonneville
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
The speakers have 4 tabs with a hole in each for mounting, as pictured. When you receive the speakers they also have a bracket that fits over the speakers with multiple holes to fit many brands of cars (not pictured).

The multi-car bracket that fits over the speaker has a set of holes that lined up perfectly with my 1989 Pontiac Bonneville. However, the piece of metal that makes the outer edge of the hole in the tab on the speaker itself O) <---- Covers up the perfect-fit hole exactly. I had to cut the speaker tabs off with a hacksaw to get them to fit correctly.

On top of that, these replacement speakers are about 3/8" taller than the stock speakers were, so they wouldn't just sit correctly in the hole. They rested on the AC duct under the dash in the perfectly-centered position and wouldn't lay flat, so now I have a pair of butchered, off-center speakers in the front dash of my car.

The only thing keeping me from giving this review 1 star is that the speakers sound good, but all my buddies at the mill I work at told me, "Go Crutchfield! They have painless installation and everything just fits perfect all the time." So I expected the Crutchfield brand speakers to fit. And they didn't. Not even close.

TRULY AWESOME

Written By Henry, NJ on Saturday, May 08, 2010
Installed in a 1977 BMW 530I
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
For the price, these speakers rock the socks. We'll see how they hold up to the test of time, but so far they are amazing. Fit perfect, on a 77' Bimmer...rare. And they also work amazing with the old wiring. Need to go get some grills for them, but that can be done later! again, i recommend this product to highest right, there solid and built like a tank.
