No bass of ANY kind
Brandon from Bakersfield on 7/6/2019
2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
When wanting to get some better sound and a little more bass from my stock speakers in my Silverado Crew Cab, I was recommended these for the front doors and some 6.5's for the rear. I installed the front driver door first and tested it. It worked. The sound was crisp and clean. That's were the good stops. The bass was WAAAY better from my stock speakers and seamed to be louder overall. Not happy. Not only that, but the Metra adapters fit loose in the door when mounted and didn't have any foam backing on the door side part of the adapter, nor did the screws supplied with the speakers work to mount to the adapter. I had to find larger screws in my stash to make them work properly. I won't be installing the rear speakers either and will be returning these for some better units. I don't recommend for a stock non Bose replacement in a Chevy Silverado Crew Cab.
Pros: Crisp and Clean
Cons: No bass whatsoever. Stocks were better.

Not for my 2004 T4R Limited
Trevor from West Lafayette, IN on 7/4/2019
2004 Toyota 4Runner
If you're looking for LOUD highs... These are for you. As far as the full sound I was looking for... They left a lot to be desired in my '04 4Runner Limited. They were being used with the Kenwood eXcelonDDX395 HU and powered by the Kenwood eXcelon X801-5 amplifier, both of which are amazing and I couldn't be happier with. After hours of tuning and ticked off neighbors.... It became apparent they weren't going to give me the full sound I was looking for.... BUT Crutchfield (Paul, in particular) has the best customer service in the industry. Paul helped me sort it all out and is getting me the speakers that will provide the sound Im looking for.
Pros: Loud Great highs
Cons: No bass or mid range

Great budget speaker
GFO from Corte Madera, CA on 6/12/2019
2012 Toyota Prius
Very decent speaker, especially for the price and MASSIVE improvement over the stock speakers; night and day difference here. Nice highs and mids, was even surprised at the amount of lower-end bass that came out of these; was not expecting that, by no means on par with a dedicated sub-woofer, but a very solid 'womp, womp' at given notes. If you're someone who doesn't need the lower-end of the bass spectrum/bass rumble to enjoy music, these will do nicely for you on their own. I just wish the rear doors of my car also held 6x9's, I'd buy a second pair of these without hesitation.

Crutchfield customer from Charlotte, NC on 6/12/2019
2004 Buick LeSabre
Great sound, good bass and excellent mid/high performance. Used in the rear deck replacing factory 6x9's. Issues with installation as the speaker would not fit in the factory plastic housing. Also, I removed the carpet and cardboard from the factory deck trim cover and used the grills supplied with speakers for a HUGE improvement in mid range and tweeter output. Tremendous value for the price, impressive specifications.
Pros: Sound and value.
Cons: Challenging installation in my car, unfortunately Crutchfield tech service was not any help on this one.

Speaker Review
Crutchfield customer from Snohomish, WA on 6/4/2019
2014 Jeep Compass
These speakers... Wow! I installed them in my wife's 2014 Jeep Compass in the span of about 25 minutes, I was amazed at the ease of installation, 100% plug and play, the wiring adapter was included with the packaging. The sound is astounding, I am absolutely blown away at how much better these sound over the stock speakers. They are louder, have clearer mids and highs, and the bass BUMPS! I had goosebumps! Thank you crutchfield for the excellent customer service and for the quality product at a budget price!

Good in Tacoma
Crutchfield customer from NC on 5/30/2019
2016 Toyota Tacoma
These speakers sound so much better than the stock speakers that were originally equipped in 2016 Tacoma. I have a bose system in a different vehicle and when tacoma was compaired to bose... speechless. tacoma speakers are garbage, obviously.i kept adjusting the equalizer but i was never able to get the sound right. it always sounded muffed and dull. These speakers have much clearer base and mid. high is also good but with factory speakers i keep the equilizer not touched. the only down side was that mounting brackets did not align well with the speaker holes. i had to use a drill to make holes bigger. Also it did not come with hardware(screws, washers, and nuts). i see some people installing subaru kicker tweeters for 100 bucks which does not improve any mid and base. They should do this upgrade first. I think they'd be much happier. i also installed kenwood 40 dollar rear speakers. very satsfied the upgrade.
Pros: much better sound over stock garbage in tacoma
Cons: no hardware came with mounting brackets. bracket holes do not align wiyh speaker holes.

Strong bass as a stock upgrade
Crutchfield customer from Hendersonville, TN on 5/5/2019
2016 Toyota 4Runner
Solid bass over stock speakers from these 6X9 Kenwoods. The mids and highs are also very clear even when the bass is hitting, stock was simply a foam woofer on a 2016 4-runner SR5. Easy to install and visually much better looking. May have to squeeze the adapters a little to get them to click in place tightly on the wiring. Wife really likes them and I can't wait to see what a stronger head unit with amplification does.
Pros: Bass gain on a stock speaker
Cons: didn't use the grill as I was replacing the stock door panels and was worried about the fit.

Great, great Sound!
Crutchfield customer from Pensacola, FL on 5/1/2019
2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser
Put these in an FJ Cruiser that only has front door speakers and small 3.5 dash speakers. These sound fantastic! The range is amazing. I like alot of highs so things don't sound too muddy and vocals are clear. But these also have a ton of range for bass as well. I havent even added a sub yet, so I'm sure once I do these will really shine even more when I can filter the absolute lows away from them. But again there is plenty of bass in these alone.

Great Upgrade From Factory Speakers
Steve from Lords Valley, PA on 3/11/2019
2017 Toyota Tacoma
I added a set of these to the front doors of my 2017 Toyota Tacoma double cab truck along with a pair of Kenwood KFC-1666S in the rear doors. The sound is much more clear and crisp. Great performance for the amount of $$ spent!! Installation was "quick and easy" using supplied instructions and hardware. I have been buying car audio from Crutchfield since 1989 and have never been unhappy with their products or service.
Pros: Hardware and Instructions included Great performance for $$ spent Nice crisp/clear sound
Cons: More bass needed (might need to and an Amp)

replaced oem speakers in 2008 4runner with crutchfield provided wiring harness. new sound quality was excellent. only issue was figuring out how to use kenwood metal clips & screws to secure speakers to door panel. a few instructional photos would be helpful.
Pros: straightforward installation, excellent sound
Cons: more info on use of speaker clips and screws needed

Big sound little cost
Crutchfield customer from Bedford, TX on 1/20/2019
Great sounding speaker for the price. I'm only pushing them with a 25watt x 2 amp and have them mounted in a space with about 3 cubic feet. Bass carries well and the mids and highs are crisp and clean.
Pros: Quality build great construction.
Cons: Not any, except that I didn't care for the design of the grilles.
