- Z-Series TS-Z65CH 6.5” 2-Way Speakers (Pair) – 330W Max, Crisp Highs + Clear Vocals, Audiophile upgrade, add an amplifier for optimal performance

When I decided to upgrade the factory speakers in my car, I knew I wanted something that struck a good balance between clear sound quality, solid build, and great value. After installing the PIONEER F-Series TS-F1634R 6.5” 2-Way Speakers, I can say they’ve exceeded what I expected for the price point. Right out of the box, these speakers feel well built — not flimsy like some budget replacements I’ve owned in the past. Installation was straightforward with factory speaker mounts in my vehicle, and they fit perfectly without any modification. The mounting hardware included gets the job done and the spring-clip terminals made connecting them to the existing wiring easy. Once I hit play, I was genuinely impressed. These aren’t “audiophile” speakers, but for everyday listening they’re crisp, balanced, and punchy. The tweeters add a nice touch of clarity to vocals and higher frequencies, while the 6.5” woofer handles midrange and bass with more authority than I expected. They definitely perform better than standard OEM speakers — vocals sound less muffled, instruments are better separated, and overall music feels more alive. If you enjoy a broad mix of genres like rock, hip-hop, pop, and podcasts, these speakers handle them well. Even with the volume turned up on highway drives, the Pioneer F-Series speakers stayed clean and distortion-free. The bass isn’t booming like a subwoofer, but in a set of component car speakers this size, the low end is surprisingly respectable — especially compared to many entry-level factory replacements. Where these speakers really shine is the bang for your buck. You’re not paying premium audio prices, yet you get noticeable clarity improvements and an overall performance boost that makes everyday listening more enjoyable. For anyone wanting an upgrade without spending big on amps or door tweaks, this set is a solid pick. The PIONEER F-Series TS-F1634R 6.5” 2-Way Speakers are exactly what I hoped for: easy to install, reliable, and a real improvement over stock audio. They bring fresh life to my car’s sound system — louder, clearer, better defined — without making me feel like I need a full overhaul. If you’re after a budget-friendly speaker upgrade with solid performance, these deserve a serious look!

Okay, so I want to start off by saying I’ve never messed with audio at all in any vehicle. I bought these because my speakers were 31 years old, and I knew they needed replaced. Was it simple? No. But it was my first time, and it took me maybe over an hour to install both, not including the time taking off my door panels, speakers, re-wiring. Anyway! These sound amazing. I got them for $60, on sale. So I’d say very much worth the value right now. They fit just right, glad for the multiple holes they put. But all in all, good product. And my Jeep loves them.

Top of the line product. Just check your sizes if replacing car speakers. Got the wrong size, but these still sound great. It has a basic connector and is easy to setup.

INITIAL REVIEW: So I scoured the Internet for reviews on Pioneers new line of A series speakers to no avail. Only reviews for the old line. I watched their clip on what they were trying to achieve with the new line, but that's all I could find. Price: There are a lot of speaker choices in this price range, and a fairly large jump in price for the next tier. I was happier with the previous A series in my Datsun, so decided to go with these again. Anyways, I bought the 6.5" coaxial Max. Install in a 2015 Genesis coupe. Since they're coaxial, I opted to install these ones in the rear, before buying and putting in all the work to install components in the front. I am running a Pioneer Nex 2660 deck. Currently no amps or subs. Firstly I installed one side only. Using balance to swap between rear right pioneer, and stock rear left. Very clearly they sing a little louder and much clearer, particularly in vocals. Zero decernable bass. However neither did the stock provide that. End result in quality, a flat out upgrade in every way over stock in sound. What became most apparent is that I don't believe these are meant to be installed without an amp. I will install a 4 channel amp next, and I have a feeling the sound quality will likely improve as nearly any stereo deck only outputs 15 watts rms, and these consume up to five times that. That said, I am hesitant to install these on the front just yet. I feel that if your car, like my Genesis coupe, has very bassy fronts, you'll only have top end, and it won't sound right. Again, they provide no bass on deck power. Maybe this will change when on a larger stand alone amp, but I doubt it. Additionally, if this is the top of the line for the A series, I wouldn't bother with the cheaper tier speakers in this new line. Especially on deck power. You'll likely be disappointed. Tuning: I played with the equalizer on the deck a bit. They are definitely mid high range. Using the preset vocal equalizer, they sound like I imagine they're supposed to. Any other setting and they fell out of range. The end result being, if you have a good subwoofer, they'll probably fill in cleanly. Packaging: very basic, polystyrene molded wrapped in cardboard shell with label. The box doesn't even mention A Series MAX, which I found odd, nor does it have almost any details. The box is imo outdated and unimpressive or eye catching. Strange, considering they are relaunching the whole A series line... Appearance: The speakers themselves look a little plain and nothing special. The goldish color looks nice though, assuming you ever see it again. The magnet is pretty small and they are very shallow mount, which could be a good thing depending on your ride. For the Genesis, they're easily 30% smaller and lighter than stock. Ultimately nothing special or any nice details to make a note of. Wiring: The wiring pigtail is thin wire. 16 gauge at best. The speakers use narrow spade terminals. Feels cheap, but pretty common for this tier of speakers. I'll update when I decide on fronts, subwoofer, and amplifier for these speakers. All in all, they're okay. Better than Kicker CS series? Hopefully yes, when amped.

This replaced a 15 year old infinity entry level component speaker. V shape sound which can be adjusted by the amp and player. Definitely powerful. Pleased with this.

Ok

Perfecto y de una buenísima calidad en dos vías separadas

Excelente opción para openshow!! Recuerden no van en las puertas, pero si las ponen ahi si están potentes!! Lo digo para que cuídense sus oídos!!

Montage pour remplacer hp d'origines dans une Honda civic 10. Aigu de bien meilleure qualité, très précis, j'ai dû même corriger légèrement le haut du spectre à la baisse. Je suis ravie
