PIONEER A-Series MAX TS-A653FH, 2-Way Coaxial Car Audio Speakers, Full Range, Clear Sound Quality, Easy Installation and Enhanced Bass Response, Full Gold Colored 6.5” Round Speakers

I used these to replace my OEM VW passat speakers. These are nicer sounding, and I had no issues with the speaker install (though you will need an adapter and cable to use these in a VW). I don't have any complaints, I will update if I have any issues at a future date. Also; I bought from Amazon Warehouse and they were in perfect condition, except I was missing a cable, though I didn't need it. For VW install: If you are also replacing VW speakers you'll also need an height adapter, cable adapter, door clips (they're circular vortex looking things that pop into the door), torx t30 (that's at least like 1" long to reach), some kind of hex key that fits into a t30 or a t30 right angle key style (since very low torque I used hex key), flathead/metal pry tool (take out clip things from metal part of door), trim tool of some kind or again a flathead if you don't care about damage. And a few hours per door, take your time, I didn't take out all the wires either, just rotated the door out of the way and rested it on a bit of wood.

Surprised in a good way. I didn't expect much from these because they're small and inexpensive. I don't listen to loud music and for classical and jazz, they are reaching down into the 40 to 45 HZ range which is very listenable. I paired these with some 6x9s in the same series, they go a little bit lower. So with a little EQ and not cranking it too loud, they actually sound great.

Sound quality is pretty good. The sound is smoother more refined than my alpines, not as raw, but not as loud.

Everything as expected from pioneer! Great upgrade

I replaced the overhead $1.98 speakers in my rig with these units. These units sound so good in my rig I am shocked. The difference is amazing. Better base, clear mids and sweet highs. I run the EQ flat and find they still sound very good. That means I use the EQ to tune to taste, not "fix" gross errors in presentation. That's how it should be.
