Boston Acoustics

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 Boston Acoustics SR65

by Buck Pomerantz

Boston Acoustics SR Series speakers bring exceptional sound quality to your car. These speakers handle high power with ease, and deliver amazing detail that you've probably never heard before, even with your favorite tracks.

The SR65 6-1/2" speaker features a strong copolymer woofer that delivers the bass beat with ease. A heatsink cooling system ensures the motor assembly won't overheat, no matter how long or hard you push it. Because of the contoured and asymmetrical design of its baffle, the soft dome tweeter disperses high notes in an especially wide pattern — everyone hears natural-sounding music, no matter where they're sitting.

The built-in crossover makes sure the tweeter and woofer perform together for a smooth response. A small but powerful neodymium magnet keeps the mounting depth shallow so you can fit your SR speaker in lots of different vehicles. Mounting options include several ring adapters, making it even easier to put these speakers in more locations, along with grilles that add a stylish touch to your custom installation.

Note: The oversized terminals on these speakers won't connect to a Crutchfield wiring harness. We recommend that you buy a 10-pack of female quick slides that you can splice onto our harness.

Features

Woofer: The SR65s are equipped with copolymer woofer cones and butyl rubber surrounds. Each woofer is has a neodymium magnet, which has a high power-to-weight ratio and a compact size about one-tenth the size of traditional iron-ferrite magnets. The dual-stage aluminum heat sink is integrated into the motor structure to draw heat away from the voice coil increasing the power handling capability.

Tweeter: Each speaker has a 1" Kortec soft-dome tweeter for a smooth high frequency response and linearity. Kortec is a specially engineered material with the rigidity of a composite dome and the smoothness and detailed response of cloth. The contoured SR tweeter planes delivers superior on- and off-axis high frequency response compared to traditional coaxial designs.

Crossover: Located behind the tweeter, the multi-element 2-way crossover delivers component level performance.

VariMount: The Boston SR65s come with several mounting adapters, making it possible to drop the speakers into the most common factory locations. Both 6-1/2" and 6-3/4" adapters and 7⁄16" spacers are included.

Speaker Terminals: These speakers have 0.25" positive (+) terminals and 0.187" negative (-) terminals, which are too large for the vehicle-specific speaker harnesses supplied by Crutchfield for many vehicle applications. It is recommended that a pack of assorted female quick slides (item # 263FQS10PK) be purchased and spliced to the harnesses to adapt them to the speaker terminals.

Beautiful Sounds

Written By Juice2288, San Diego, CA on Wednesday, March 28, 2012
 
I have bought many speakers like Alpine, Pioneer, Kenwood, Infinity, Sony and Polk. While some sound better than others, I was amazed at the fantastic sound quality throughout the listening range from these speakers when I installed them in my 05 Accord.

I had originally replaced the lousy factory speakers with some Sony Xplodes as a quick remedy and the difference was pretty good so I was expecting little difference with the BAs.

I replaced the Sonys with the SR65s and I popped in an Eagles CD and cranked up Dirty Laundry live. WoW! I mean Wow! What a difference! Clean, clear, crisp. I heard sounds in many CDs I didn't hear before. The bass was clean and impressive. Even music played through my iPod sounded great.
Pros:
Clean sounds across the entire range. Good build quality; feels solid. Sharp styling.
Cons:
Styling is sharp and no nonsense but a bit out-dated.

Doesn't fit

Written By Brett, Fort Collins, CO on Friday, September 16, 2011
Installed in a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee

"Fits with alteration" is a little imprecise. The install details said I would have to redrill the mounting holes. No big deal. What it doesn't say, is that the speaker is also smaller than the hole, so there is about a 1/16th in air gap around the speaker. I bought the SR series for all of the speakers, and the other went in great, and sound great. These are going to require me to make a mounting plate before I can put them in.

Excellent Full Range Speakers

Written By fmshear, New Orleans Louisiana on Tuesday, August 10, 2010
 
I just replaced the junk Infinity factory speakers with these Boston Acoustic units in the front and rear doors of my Shelby "collectors edititon" Dodge Durango. It is an amazing transformation! Now I am experiencing the full clean range of the "east coast" sound from these babies. Excellent clean highs with a smooth mid range. Then add the solid clear bass, you now have a top rated speakers. In fact the SR65 is the #1 rated best mainstream 6.5 Coxaxial Speaker.

NOT 61/2" speskers

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
these speakers are the only disappointment I have ever had with Crutchfield.

They have very weak bass, and do not fit in my jeep without drilling and re-wiring.

Exceptional Clarity

Written By Anonymous, Indianapolis, IN on Tuesday, December 29, 2009
Installed in a 2004 Volkswagen GTI
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
I have owned a plethora of vehicles and had a variety of audio components however I have never heard such a crisp, clean sound from a set of "door" speakers. Prior to the installation of my bass tube I noticed clean bass response from these speakers. My original stereo (monsoon) had very good sound to it; but it did not compare to the BA speakers. Purchase these...you will be glad you did!
