Best Bang for your Buck!
Written By Matt, Wayne, MI on Wednesday, March 04, 2009

I own a 1997 Taurus Gl sedan. I am very happy with these speakers. They have much more depth and clarity than stock speakers. This should come as no surprise. So, If your thinking about improving your stock sound and don't want to wrap up a lot of money in your sound system, get these speakers!
Crutchfield is the place to go! I look forward to buying 1" Tweeters from crutchfield! somehow paper cones just don't get it.

Clearly Better
Written By Michael, Seattle, WA on Monday, March 02, 2009

Much clearer mids and highs compared to stock speakers.

No more bass than stock speakers.

Would sound great with a sub to fill in the lows.

Almost a perfect 5!
Written By Michael, Buffalo, NY on Wednesday, January 21, 2009

I was really suprised at the performance of these speakers. I recently
installed these in my 1998 Ford Ranger. What A difference in sound quality.
Crystal clear highs and great mids. I can't give them a 5 since they haven't
even broken in yet.

Very good Speakers! - Wrong polarity connectors from Crutchfield
Written By alan, Trenton, Michigan on Sunday, November 30, 2008

I have installed the Pioneer TS-A6872R speakers in the front of both my 2007 Edge with factory stereo and 2008 F150 with JVC HD combo CD receiver and am pleased with the results. They have a tighter Bass and crisper highs compaired to the paper cone w/wizzer cone factory speakers which had muddy bass and muted highs.

I am a big fan of Crutchfield due to excellent customer service, however I must complain about the connectors (912071048) supplied with these speakers - they fit perfectly, but the polarity is wrong. I proved this out with a flashlite battery and some jumper wires. Hook up the battery to the speaker by itself ( not hooked to car) making the last connection a Quick momentary connection and watch the cone movement - if the cone moves forward (away from magnet) the speaker polarity is the same as hooked to the battery. If it moves rearward (towards the magnet) the polarity is reversed. I tested the factory speaker to determine positive on the connector then checked the supplied harness and the new speaker and found the polarity reversed.

Pioneer TS-A6872R
Written By not yet, Frankfort, Ky on Sunday, November 23, 2008

Product was shipped promptly. Installation was an ease on my 97 ford f-150 extended cab except for the drivers side rear that took more time than the other 3 altogether. The instructions were great and pictures mean alot with me. The speakers sound much better than the stock with the new Kenwood stereo. I would like to see more bass but I expect a sub and an amp would be needed for this. I would recommend these for anyone looking to upgrade from the factory speakers.

Great Speakers
Written By 91hardbody, Jonesboro, AR on Saturday, October 18, 2008

I bought these to replace the originals in my 05 Mazda B Series/Ford
Ranger regular cab. They fit perfect in front and rear. I'm running them
with my stock Pioneer head unit. They sound awesome. They're louder
and the bass, midrange, and treble is awesome. I highly recommend these
to anyone who drives a vehicle that accepts 6X8s.

quality all around
Written By Jonathan, Houston, Tx on Wednesday, August 20, 2008

I was looking for some quality, affordable speakers to replace the stock ones in my mustang. After a little research it came down to these and the set of 3-ways from kenwood. One customer review directly compared the two gave this one the edge so i went with it, and I'm very satisfied with them. Now I'm not an audio buff at all, but from what I can tell these speakers pump out some great sound. Highs are clear and the mids come out strong. The bass is good in my opinion, maybe not for drawn out lows in a rap song or anything. If you want that I guess you need a component sub. But bass drum beats in songs make my side mirrors shake, so that's good enough for me. The materials throughout look to be durable and excellent quality so no worries about them lasting. WORD OF WARNING for anyone who hasn't bought speakers before: give them at least a week to break in before judging the sound. I plugged them in and foolishly expected peak performance out of the box, which just isn't possible. Give them time to break in and sound their best and I'm willing to bet you'll love them!

And as always, top notch customer support from Crutchfield! You can always shave off dollars by buying from another website, but no one takes care of you like the Crutchfield staff.

Very Happy
Written By Robert, Apple Valley, Ca on Monday, August 18, 2008

I purchased these speakers to replace the stock rear door speakers in my 2005 f-150. They fit perfectly! The wire harness that Crutchfield provided was great and the installation instructions were spot on. I am very happy with the sound. Too bad Ford doesn't provide these kind of speakers stock. Crutchfield-you get a great rating from me!

Great Upgrade from Stock Ford
Written By Mark, Lincoln, NE on Friday, August 15, 2008

I bought 2 pairs of these speakers to replace the stock speakers in my '04 Ford Explorer. They fit perfectly, and are a great upgrade from the stock units. Noticeable improvement from the stock speakers, even with the factory head unit. Definitely recommended.

Quality Sound
Written By Darin, El Segundo, CA on Tuesday, July 29, 2008

I coupled these with a the Pioneer DEH-P5000UB head unit and could not be happier with the result. They didn't quite fit perfectly in my Tacoma, but with the provided hardware was able to set them in snugly enough and the have preformed beautifully since.

They have responded well when I've pushed them hard on every genre of music one could imagine playing. The base hits well, and the mid and hi ranges are clear and powerful. definately a good buy.

Pioneer TS-A6872R
Written By Bert, Mt. Pleasant, WI on Thursday, April 17, 2008

These are great speakers for the money. The speakers fit perfectly in the
front and rear doors. The install was simple with the supplied instructions.
The wiring harness adaptors were included for FREE and worked perfectly.

These speakers made my 04 F350 Supercab factory radio sound 100%
better. Thank you, Lyle @ Crutchfield for recommending these speakers for
the application.

This was my first experience dealing with Crutchfield and I am very
impressed. EXCELLENT SERVICE!

Installed four speakers in my 2002 explorer, significant improvement from the factory sound. Wiring harness and instructions by Crutchfield made installation easy. Thanks, the traffic on the Long Island Expressway seems
better.

Written By stneckel, Fayetteville, GA on Tuesday, March 18, 2008

Very nice speakers, a great upgrade from the factory speakers. Great speakers for the money, they sound great. Very clear, good highs and lows. I was looking for a great, inexpensive 3-way speaker that would fit in my 99 Cougar, and I couldn't be more pleased.



These fit perfectly in the doors and the rear panel. The wiring harness adapters were perfect.

Pioneer TS-A6872R
Written By Grant, Fairfax, VA on Tuesday, March 04, 2008

I bought a pair for the front doors in my '03 Crown Vic. With the speakers I ordered an Alpine CDA-9886 head unit. The speakers went in no problem but when I cranked it they sounded lame.. I left the stock speakers in my deck and have two 12in Type-R's slamming in the trunk. The stock speakers have better bass and midrange than these Pioneers, but don't capture the the the high notes and vocals as well. This may be because they take more power to drive than the stock speakers and the head unit, although expensive, does not put out what these speakers need. I am disappointed with my purchase but hope to amp them up in the near future. They have had plenty of time to 'break in' but still sound very average.

I bought 2 pair to replace the dull, muddy factory speakers in my '99 Explorer. A major improvement! I now have deep solid bass along with clear & sharp highs. I hear details in music I couldn't hear before. Excellent sounding speakers for the price! And thanks to Crutchfield, the wiring harness adapters are included, FREE! Crutchfield service is always 5 star!
