CERWIN VEGA V465C 6.5-Inch 400 Watts Max/100Watts RMS Power Handling 2-Way Component Speaker Set

Great sounding speakers! The 6.5” drivers deliver decent bass and clear sound and can go quite loud. The 94dB sensitivity rating allows my Tacoma’s stock headunit to power them and still have them sound good. They sound much better, have more low and punchy bass, and go louder than the stock speakers did, even though two of these are replacing stock 6X9s using the Metra adapters. I purchased two sets of the speakers (two for rear doors and two for front) and had no issues with install at all. Very happy with purchase, and happy I didn’t get coaxial type speakers, as I don’t like too many tweeters, and they rob what very little power you have to work with. I only used the 6.5” woofers from this kit, and did not use the tweeters and crossovers. In my 2018 Tacoma, the front tweeters take care of the highs (especially with Subaru/Kicker tweeter upgrade) and these Cerwin-Vegas handle the rest just fine. I plan on getting a 8” Vega series sub and ported box to finish off the system, as I’m not after anything crazy loud.

Woah. Okay these are some little gems. I had quite a few brands, just retired some Alpines components. These are crystal clear, warm yet accurate. The tweeters are a little harsh but if you have a DSP you can eq them down a little. Once you do, arguably some of the best speakers for the price point. Honestly, with how they sound, I’ll be buying them for my next build.

Night and day difference in my 2011 gmc sierra I bypassed the crappy bose amp just have them running off the pioneer head unit sound quality is pretty dam good better than I thought it would be. Will definitely buy again

Evenly balanced and plenty loud enough considering the rated wattage, probably because the sensitivity rating (94) is outstanding- especially at this price point. The higher the sensitivity the louder/ clearer a speaker will play at a given amount of watts. The speakers look nice, perform extremely well, and I can’t think of much you could get at this price that would be better- the cheaper Infinity 6.5 comps maybe, but they are still a few bucks more. The only downside, is that while the crossovers do look really nice they are the big. About 2.5 x 4.0 x 1.0 inches, so you will have to be conscious of that and where you will mount them. Overall, I’m extremely happy with them and would definitely buy them again. If you’re on a budget there are cheaper options, but @ $115, these I feel like are a bargain per the performance.

2nd set bought in June of 2024: Traded in my old truck, so new speakers were needed for the new one. Bought my 2nd set and had them installed in my new to me F150 front doors along with the coaxial version in the back doors, they sound great! They’re being powered by a 700 watt 4 channel Sony amp. Still in the break in period, so they will only sound better as they go. Very happy with them! Great sounding speakers! Replaced a set of Memphis component speakers in my F150 with these as the Memphis speakers fell apart. These are noticeably better quality in both the woofer and tweeter construction and sound quality. The volume on them at 15 on my head unit is louder, clearer, and fuller than than the Memphis speakers on volume level 25. Why I did not go with Cerwin Vega speakers the first time, I do not know (had CVs in my previous vehicle and never had a problem with them). Just make sure to run an amp with them. I imagine once they break in, they will sound even better. Highly recommended!
