Our take on the Boston Acoustics SX95

The clear, well-balanced sound of Boston's SX speakers offers an excellent performance boost to almost any car audio system.

The SX95 6"x9" speaker combines two Type-S2 tweeters with a heavy duty copolymer woofer and a durable rubber surround. A contoured tweeter plane provides an extended stereo "sweet spot" for smooth, realistic high-frequency response — no matter where you're sitting.

A built-in crossover sculpts the frequencies going to the woofer and tweeters for smooth blending of the highs and mids, and protects the tweeter against power overload. Compact, lightweight neodymium magnets reduce the size of these speakers so they can fit in more vehicles without sacrificing performance.

Highlights:

  • 6"x9" 2-way speakers (pair)
  • copolymer woofer cone with butyl rubber surround
  • dual Type-S2 Kortec dome tweeters
  • compact neodymium magnets for shallower mounting depth
  • power range: 2-60 watts RMS (200 watts peak power)
  • frequency response: 35-20,000 Hz
  • sensitivity: 92 dB
  • top-mount depth: 2-5/8"
  • warranty: 2 years
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

Our Product Research Team

At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box, verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

Features

Tweeter: Each speaker uses two type-S2, 3/4" 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: All SX speakers feature specifically tuned crossovers to deliver the best blend between the tweeter and woofer. Each also features tweeter protection for optimal performance and reliability.

Voice Coil: The oversized 1-1/2" voice coil increases overall power handling and reliability.

Installation: The compact size of the magnet allows SX 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.

DEFINATELY FOR CONISSEURS

Written By nick, Bartlett, TN on Wednesday, March 07, 2007
 
I have 2 SX65's in the FRONT of my 97 camry and 2 SX95's (6x9) in the REAR deck. I have a Pioneer DEH 6800 head unit which supplies ABOUT 20 watts RMS per speaker and the difference in these speakers and my factory ones were IMMEDIATELY noticeable. I have YET to experience distortion. And to TOP IT OFF, as the first guy said, I haven't even hooked them up to an amplifier yet! I just recieved the amp a week ago but my car is in the shop for other reasons so I cant pull an all-nighter to put the amp in. My Sony XM-SD46X 4 channel amp is a PERFECT match for these speakers. I will also be installing dynamat in the front doors so that these speakers will sound even better. I already have dynamat on the rear deck. If you are going to spend this kind of money on these speakers, then save up enough and get you a PERFECT amplifier (like the one I noted) and seal them off with the dynamat. Although I haven't finished adding the amp or the dynamat, these speakers still DOMINATE! They don't (as previously mentioned in other reviews) provide much low-end bass but that's why I have 2 12" Sony Xplod's hooked up through a different amp lol. GREAT BUY!

Love These Speakers

Written By Taylor, Bozeman Mt on Wednesday, June 03, 2009
 
I bought these speakers a few months ago started out running them off a deck and was disapointed by the sound. Really lacking in the bass sounded almost distorted and weak. Thats when i did my researched and learned that these particular speakers are very power happy. So i went out and bought myself and orion 2 channel amp running two pioneer speakers and my bostons off of it. Now im blown away. The bass is responsive and clear, highs and mids are super clear and blow my pioneers out of the water, Even at high levels.
I love these speakers and recomend them to be powered by an amp for best sound

Great Factory Up-grade

Written By Tracy, Mechanicsville, VA. on Friday, October 20, 2006
 
I replaced my factory 6x9's with these Boston Acoustics and the results are great! I'm only driving them with a factory HU in a '99 Chevy Malibu and the bass response is great as well. It's not a sub-woofer bass but enough for my listening habits. Crutchfield is awesome, they showed up in one day and I installed them on my lunch break. Would definately recommend. I also purchased the 4x6 S75 Boston Acoustic for my front doors, though I didn't have time to install them, I will write a review on those too. Great job to Crutchfield and Boston Acoustics!

Don't understand other people's complaints about these speakers not having any bass. They aren't subwoofers! I find the bass reproduction to be tight and solid and the speakers are very balanced from high to low. Maybe these speakers need a large air cavity behind them to make good bass, and suvs and trucks don't really have these large cavities behind the speakers? Overall I'm very satisfied with mine mounted in the rear deck/parcel tray of my Acura.

Not as good as expected

Written By jcisne, Miami, FL on Saturday, September 01, 2007
 
I bought these speakers as an upgrade to the Boston Accoustics S95 I already had installed with a Kicker ZX350.4 amp. These SX95 speakers sound great, but I gave it a 4 star rating because I don't notice any improvement in sound quality over the S95, which are like $80 less than the SX95.

I put these in my Chrysler '05 300-C (the rear deck). I put in the 1200 watt Kicker amp and 2 L-7 12"ers first. Be prepared to upgrade all of your other speakers too. I was STARVING for some high end. The Kickers TOTALLY cover the bottom end.....Big Time. Thank you Crutchfield for all of your help. Especially Earl. U-DA man Earl.....and thank you! The step by step instructions included were very helpful. I only had to solder the speaker connections, for which I was thankful. If you need some high end (hz-wise) these are the ones you need. Next are the door speakers....Time and money....but not particularly in that order. Thanks again Earl, and Crutchfield!!

ok speaker

I purchased this boston SX95 6X9 set to replace and older BA that the foam surround gave out on. The new SX 95 does have the same Boston Acoustic sound on the high and midrange i was looking to replace. I am happy with the sound on the upper end. Boston has more of an 'in your face' sound as it has been described to me before. I was a little dissappointed on the low end, doesnt hit quite as hard as my older Bostons did, but it was ok for me, and i only have it running from an Alpine receiver. the magnet is only about half the size as my older ones, so i was a little dissapointed with that , and attribute that to the less bass. Overall i would say it is a good sounding speaker, and an pleased with the rubber surround. I would probably buy again. thanks, Crutchfield.

Bought these with the Boston SX60s for my 2008 Caliber. Perfect
compliment with the 60s, but wouldn't recommend these as primary or front
speakers, even amped. Bass ok, midrange a little fuzzy. Seem to handle
power pretty well though.
