Open, smooth sound
If anyone knows how to make music sound phenomenal in your car, it's Pioneer. With their A-Series speakers, you'll experience their signature, open-and-smooth sound which helps overcome the limitations of off-axis listening in a vehicle while ensuring a seamless transition between woofer and tweeter playback. Best of all, Pioneer gives you this powerful speaker solution with a friendly price tag so you don't go over budget building a whole system. Pair this TS-A652C 6-1/2" component system with an outboard amp and power it with up to 80 watts RMS for seriously clean sound.
Optimized materials and design
A woofer cone made of carbon- and mica-reinforced polypropylene means awesome rigidity, low-frequency responsiveness, and weather-resistance. Pioneer also gives you versatile woofer brackets for use across all kinds of makes and models. Use the included tweeter mounts to install the separate 3/4" tweeters in a good spot up high in your vehicle for better stereo imaging. Inline crossovers eliminate the need to find a spot for crossover modules.

Q
Do you have to use the tweeter's to get any mids or highs out of these speakers?
A
I would say yes. Especially the highs. This is a great component speaker system. The highs out of the tweets are extremely crisp!

Great sound for the price
Crutchfield customer from Carlsbad, CA on 8/8/2019
2014 Ford Fiesta
A small price to pay for a substantial upgrade in the sound quality over the factory speakers. Reasonably easy to install but not a direct drop in - if your happy to do a little wiring and trimming of parts then maybe an hours work
Pros: Sound great
Cons: Search Youtube for better instructions on making the swap

Replaced the stock rear speakers for my 2018 Civic SI. If you plan on doing this on your own for this car, please research a lot before attempting it yourself. As for the speakers, they're incredible. They added bass to my overall sound and cleaned up the sound of the mids and highs.
Pros: Bass Mids Highs

Nice bass and no rattle.
Crutchfield customer from Lilburn, GA on 5/4/2019
2007 Honda Ridgeline
I bought these speakers to add bass to my car sound system. Since I changed out my OEM stereo in my Honda Ridgeline to a Sony carplay stereo, I lost my subwoofer and so I needed more bottom. I looked at many speakers and talked to Crutchfield advisors to see which speakers would add base in the front door. After a lot of research, I decided to go with these Pioneer speakers. They do have alot of bass and I have enjoyed listening to them. I have not installed the tweeters as of yet since the installation is a lot more involved and the OEM tweeters are doing fine so far.
Pros: Good lows, easy install for door speakers, nice price.
Cons: none

Pioneer TS-A652C Speakers / Crutchfield Rocks
Crutchfield customer from Cincinnati, OH on 4/14/2019
2014 Honda CRV
I bought two sets of these for my 2014 Honda CRV EX-L after blowing a speaker in the front. The original speakers were Pioneer from the factory as well. These speakers work perfectly. I was able to pop off my door panels using information from your site and plug them right in without any issues. I have an after market dual bin Kenwood DDX9705S as well which after adjusting gain wise equalizer wise etc. can be bumped up to about 22 volume wise before hearing any distortion. My car also has a built in factory amp which gives a little more juice to these speakers. I also purchased a KICKER - Hideaway 8" Subwoofer with Enclosure and Integrated 150W Amplifier for under my passenger seat. I was able to tuck it right behind the factory sub which is only a 5 3/4" sub and had no bass what so ever. I'm very satisfied with my system as a whole and these speakers are perfect performance wise for my car. Thank you Crutchfield for your awesome insight on everything car stereo related. Your site is a beacon to the way customer service should be done .
Pros: Everything fit perfect in my car no issues what so ever. Quality speakers.
Cons: None

Big upgrade over stock speakers
Steven from Calera, AL on 1/7/2019
2014 Fiat 500L
I purchased these to replace a blown factory set in my Fiat 500L. It's a night and day difference in sound quality. I can hear cymbals now! That may not sound like a big deal, but you probably haven't heard the stock 500L system. Much more clarity than the originals. Instead of basically just having muddy mids, I actually have a full range of sound for once. It inspired me to replace the rear speakers, as well. I went with the TS-D65F coaxial speakers for that. Not gonna lie, they sound significantly better than the TS-A652C. Now I wish I'd gone with a D-series component system in the front as well. But both are a clear improvement over the stock system, so I'm not going to worry too much about it. One thing that may be of concern is that the frequency range is great and the sound quality at the low end is excellent, but there's not much of it. They sound perfect sitting in the garage, but the lows get lost to road noise fast on the highway. I'm adding a small underseat sub to compensate. I'm not saying it's terrible, mind you. Still much better than the stock system. It's just that the stock speakers were all lows and no highs, so it's a big transition. And there's literally no insulation or sound deadening in the door of the 500L, so it's more the car's fault than the speakers. Also, the brackets that Crutchfield included were nowhere near a fit for either the speakers or the door. But the ones that Pioneer provided in the box were a perfect f
Pros: -Excellent sound quality, especially on the high end. -Easy installation with universal bracket included in the box. -Very inexpensive, considering the SQ.
Cons: -If I'm being picky, the posts on the speakers feel extremely weak. Be careful wiring them up.

Features
Size Classification Note: Some manufacturers, including Pioneer, call this size woofer a 6-1/2". Because it requires a larger cutout than a standard 6-1/2" speaker, Crutchfield has traditionally referred to this size speaker as a 6-3/4". Please enter your vehicle information to confirm fit.
Mounting Brackets: Pioneer includes a pair of mounting brackets to install the woofers in vehicle-specific applications. Again, enter your vehicle information to confirm fit.
Surrounds: For durability and a smooth response, each woofer uses an elastic polymer (synthetic rubber) surround.
Tweeter Mounting: The system includes flush mount rings and angled surface mount housings for the tweeters. The surface mount housing positions the tweeters at approximately a 45° angle. Bendable brackets are also included for mounting the tweeters in factory locations. Once installed the tweeters do not swivel.
Tweeter Mounting Dimensions:
| Angled Surface Mount | Flush Mount | |
| Mounting Height | 1.47" | 0.233" |
| Mounting Depth | screw depth | 0.552" |
| Frame Diameter | N/A | 1.955" |
| Frame Depth | 1.785" | N/A |
| Frame Width | 1.5" | N/A |
| Cutout Diameter | N/A | 1.641" |
Crossovers: The high pass crossovers are integrated into the included speaker wire and the low pass crossovers are integrated into the woofer baskets. Both are 6 dB/octave and the crossover point is 2.5 kHz. Each length of speaker wire connects to both a woofer and tweeter. Quick slides connect to the woofer, a 40" output leg with integrated crossover (approximately 1/2" diameter x 1-3/4" long) connects to the terminals attached to the tweeter, and an 11" input leg connects to the source.
