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. The SL95 6"x9" 2-way speakers deliver the quality sound you expect from Boston Acoustics. How? It's all a matter of putting the right pieces together. Starting at the top, the SL95 features two 1" dome tweeters, constructed from a soft material that keeps the highs clean and smooth. This tweeter assembly's asymmetrical design disperses highs in a wider pattern, for a more natural sound all over your vehicle. For reliable reproduction of the lows, the 6"x9" woofer cone incorporates a special design that keeps the speaker running cool to minimize distortion. A powerful but light neodymium magnet keeps the woofer's weight down important if you're trying to shave ounces in a performance car. A high-quality built-in crossover allows the woofer and tweeter to work together in perfect harmony. Mesh grilles add a stylish touch to your custom installation.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Tweeter: Each speaker uses two type-S1, 1" Kortec dome tweeters. The dual tweeters exhibit smoother frequency response and higher output than conventional two-way or three-way designs. Kortec is a silky fabric saturated on the underside with a proprietary stiffening agent. Because the inside surface of the dome is ultra stiff, the tweeter tracks the signal with ease and produces an excellent transient attack. Simultaneously, the soft, self-dampening top layer eliminates unwanted resonance, so the sound is smooth and articulate. The contoured tweeter plane delivers smooth extension and strong on-axis and off-axis response. Woofer: The copolymer woofer cone has a durable butyl rubber surround and stands up to the harsh automotive environment. Crossover: The multi-element crossover is specifically tuned to deliver the best blend between the tweeter and woofer. Installation: The compact size of the magnet allows SL series speakers to fit where other high quality speakers don't. Neodymium magnets offer extraordinary power-to-weight ratio, approximately ten times the magnetic strength of a conventional iron-ferrite magnet of equal size.

Yes | No 4 out of 5 Boston Acoustics SL95 6"x9" Written By XMMetalhead, Long Island on Monday, August 10, 2009 I have a 2006 Toyota 4Runner. After quite some investigating and going back and forth I spoke with a rep who steered me to these speakers to go with my JVC KW XG500. I am running these without an amp. So I purchased these speakers with a pair of 6.5" Boston Acoustics S65RC. Heres some things to note about the the SL95 6x9: 1) I changed one side of the vehicle to compare the sound with the other side. They sounded weak and I was going to pull them out, but I decided to give them a fair chance. It was only once I changed them all (front and rear) that I got the full sound, range and dynamics. I was impressed with the clarity and the fullness of the sound. I could here things in the music I couldnt hear before. 2) The Cruthfield supplied wire harness adapter fit the vehicle plug just fine but the positive and negative plugs did not fit the speaker connectors. They were too small. I had the correct size plugs, so I cut the adapter ends and crimped on the new plugs. I don't think Crutchfield is aware of this yet. 3) I initially found the speakers to be a little bass shy even with the bass adjustment up to full. As I was playing the music, the sound got better and better. I was able to get a nice full rounded sound from them. They still need some "break in time". All in all, I would recommend these speakers. I am pretty happy so far. And also, you cant beat Crutchfields service. They will bend over backwards for you. 17 out of 19 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?
