Price Paid:  $0.00

Year / Model Reviewed:
 Pioneer TS-A6969 6"x9"

Strengths:
power handling

Weaknesses:
overall sound quality, acurate mid range.

Summary:
I would avoid these at all costs unless you want a really high sounding output(tweety). They can be clean with the right amp. vocals are harsh and not warm. If you are looking for a speak to reproduce your music more accuratly, get a polk, boston or mb quart. Pioneer is not know for thier accurate reproduction of music. They are known for cheap speakers.

Price Paid:  $49.00

Strengths:
BASS, and the other frequencies.

Weaknesses:
On the very hard hitting bass punches in a FEW songs, you have to turn the bass down becuase it sounds like its hurting the speaker. Someone told me it needs breaking in but who knows.

Summary:
When I 1st got these speakers I mounted them from underneatch the rear deck as you must do with 6x9s in my car. The speakers were mounted driectly to a metal deck. When I played the stereo (50 RMS), i noticed that it sucked. The reason for this is that the metal could not handle the bass these things were outputting. So I applied dynamat in a few places and the bass is great, comparable to a subwoofer. However subwoofers Are smoother and can handle hard punches better but these handle the low tones better than I ever expected from non-subs. Oh yeah the mids and highs are also great, but then I have 6.5s in the front for the front, but the people in the back say they like it.

Price Paid:  $110.00

Strengths:
Best speaker for the money. Nice Looking. Just as good as the infinties.

Weaknesses:
Not many....you need an amp if you aren't boxing them

Summary:
These are quite possibly the best 6x9's on the market today. I've got a pioneer deh-3100 mofset 45x4 head unite and these suckers are like having a 10 behind each seat.

If you were installing them in a car, and just letting them hang they need to be amped (my friend also bought them for his 98 jetta). I have a 84 ford f-150 with a 302, and put the two speaks in boxes and put them behind the seat and f-ing good........unbelievable power!

IF you don't box the speakers amp them.....otherwise I'd say keep it rolling. I listen to dance music and they mofo's pound!
Great Bass.......super high's and perfect mids........pioneer's are leading the pack!
