About the Pioneer TS-A879

Don't overlook this little speaker
More and more automakers like Toyota, GM, and Chrysler equip their vehicles with 3-1/2" speakers in the dash, and Pioneer has the perfect upgrade. These Pioneer TS-A879 3-1/2" 2-way speakers flaunt surprising power-handling and solid construction. A carbon and mica-reinforced, injection-molded polypropylene woofer adds sturdiness to your sound while the polyetherimide tweeter steps up the detail. Pioneer includes inline high pass filters with high-quality capacitors to protect the speakers from any damage that lower frequencies can cause. Overall, you can look forward to more clarity from your tunes than with your factory speakers.

Features
Overview: Pioneer describes the TS-A879 as a wide range speaker (as opposed to a full range speaker), designed to replace the 3½" speaker used by several vehicle manufacturers. Please enter your vehicle information to confirm fit.
Crossovers: A 6 dB/octave, 850 Hz high-pass crossover is integrated in-line with each included 10" length of speaker wire. The output end of the wire has quick slides that plug onto the speaker terminals; the input end of the wire is not terminated. At the widest point the crossovers measure just under ¾" across.
Power: The 100 watt RMS power rating is valid only when using the included crossovers.
Frequency Response: The published frequency response is 52 Hz to 33 kHz (-20 dB), but the -3 dB point on the included high pass crossover is 850 Hz. (The included crossover should always be used, unless the speakers are actively filtered.)
