A good friend of mine is not in to car audio at all, but he came to me for help with getting new speakers for his car. Keeping in mind that he still has a factory sound system, I went out with him to look for new car speakers. We came across a couple of cheap Pioneer speakers that sounded decent for the price. The Pioneer TS-164P were installed in her car about 2 hours later (long drive back to the house). We took the car for a ride to test the new speakers out. The Pioneer TS-164P were not clean or as loud as I was used to, but he loved them and the fact that it did not cost him a arm and a leg to replace his factory speakers after the blew. So, if anyone is looking for cheap speakers to replace you old factory ones and don’t have a car amp, I would recommend looking in to the Pioneer TS-164P speakers.
Eclipse car audio has a brand new series of speakers out now, called Integrated Series. I was looking at the Eclipse SE6900 6x9s and I was really impressed. Looks like Eclipse is going to be doing great things in 2008. The Eclipse SE6900 has a very nice metallic look to it and has really great sound, even at high volumes. The SE6900 are a 4 way 6×9 speaker, midrange is 1-1/2 inch, and has 2 tweeters. First is 1 inch and the super tweeter is 3/4 of a inch. They have a RMS rating of 75 watts and can handle peak loads up to 220 watts. The frequency response is 40Hz-25kHz, a very wide range in my opinion and nice for a pair of 6x9s. The Eclipse SE6900 cone is made out of a hybrid mica PP and seems to be very durable. The SE6900 does have a mounting depth of just over 3 inches so make sure you do have room for this car stereo speaker before you purchase it. MSRP is$199.00.
