GTX 401 4-Inch 240W 4-Way Coaxial Car Audio Speaker

Sound great for 4 inch speakers

I bought these as part of hubby's Christmas gift. He says they sound good. He's wondering if replacing the car stero would help get the sound even better. ( It's a 2001 car with the original stereo.)

(Basically a copy of the review that I did for the GTX350, but these are similar and in the same installation.) I bought these on a whim because I set a $100 whole-system cap on my new (to me) 2004 Saab 9-3. I kept looking for things to replicate the Boston Acoustics 3.5's that are now discontinued. Since there wasn't anything, I just bought these. They're obviously a Chinese product banking on a name that used to be big in German hi-fi, but all the same they are pretty good. These are in the rear deck in this case, and replaced a cone 4' setup that was mediocre at best. Bass in this system really comes from a pair of "subs" in the front doors, but whatever goes to these speakers in the rear is rendered really well. Sort of unexpected to have 4-way speakers in this size, too. Saabs of this vintage have a weird fiber optic stereo, so speaker upgrades are about all you can do. That said, these made a huge difference over the factory Pioneer paper cones. For $25, this was a great buy.

Plastic trim face came broken. Can't find an option to get a new one sent without going through the return process. They dont sound very good either. My other blaupunkt speakers always sounded great. Not these.

Speaker sound it good for the price. Blaupunkt is a label that can be put on anything. It use to be a product that stood for something. Not anymore. The speaker grills look nice, but they are of incredibly cheap plastic that will brake. I thought that other people rating these speakers were just being to careless while mounting them, but no. They're just real cheap.

Ease of installation

These Blaupunkt speakers fit perfectly and sound great.

meh. they buzz and vibrate when you get too much volume and bass on them. they work, but not that great

GOOD

Great 4 inch speakers. Direct fit for my 1979 MGB. Clear and great sound even on highway speed with top down.
