BOSS Audio Systems BRS69 6 x 9 Inch Replacement Car Door Speaker - 120 Watts Max, Sold Individually, 4 Ohms, Bocinas Para Carro

These speakers exceeded my expectations. They are well made and can handle ample amounts of bass which is where I can usually tell a good speaker from a bad one. They are priced well for this type of speaker.

This review includes the BOSS Audio - BRS 6x9 speakers, BOSS AVA6200 speakers, and the BOSS Audio 616UAB multimedia player. I have purchased other very elaborate, and expensive car audio systems, and either they did not last long, or I was disappointed in some other way. But the multimedia player I mentioned made me BOSS Audio fan. It is very reliable, tough, long lasting, and has excellent sound quality. I built, and completely modified a 2015 Toyota Tacoma inside out, and from the ground up. The same above mentioned BOSS Audio speakers, and media player is what is in my build. The sound is very strong, clear, and excellent. I do not play my music to deafening level, but at a moderate volume. I am very picky to sound, and simplicity. I do not get involved with subwoofer competitions, while sagging my pants, and picking my nose. I just wanted excellent sound.

If you’re a super audiophile and these are for your daily, then maybe spend a little extra. My case they were for my second car / Lyft car. I have high Standards for audio quality though. These won’t blow your mind, they’re basic standard issue speakers. But they will be better than blown speakers (my situation) and better than any factory paper cone speakers. They’re low wattage all they work great with a factory radio / head unit. These are very clean, fit perfectly and just good all around speakers. You better better base with these vs coaxial speakers in most cases, but the trade off is they won’t have the mids and highs a coaxial speaker has. Overall these are great. Simple and clean upgrade with a noticeable improvement vs most factory speakers. Fits the bill. You can’t be disappointed at this price point.

These are what you'd expect from a $10 speaker. I purchased 2 to replace my blown speakers in the back of my 2006 Dodge Stratus. I wasn't expecting much when I ordered these as I just wanted speakers that would reasonably replace those factory 6x9s. The original speakers were 15w and because my deck is 25 watts, I suspect that is why they were blown. I'm hoping that the 60W RMS rating of these is accurate, but so far so good. On caveat as other reviewers have noted, there is absolutely nothing in the package other than the speakers. If, like Dodge, you car has proprietary speaker connections, you will need to either purchase a speaker terminal kit or be prepared to solder the wires on directly. As far as the sound, they don't sound as good at the originals, the low end is similar, but not quite as good. The high end was the bigger disappointment as the differences between the original speakers and these replacements were noticeable. Is it dramatic? No. Was I expecting anything more from these? Not really. But it was a slight disappointment. However, by reworking the EQ and changing the fade settings on my deck to utilize the fronts a bit more, I was able to get it to sound pretty close to the original speakers. Most of the reviewers are spot on, these aren't fancy, but if you're just looking to replace some blown speakers, as I was and you're not an audiophile, the price is right on for these.

UPDATE, 2 OCT 2017: These speakers are only capable of 15~20 Watts of continuous power draw, *not* 60W. I put a power meter on them and drove them with a square wave variable-frequency siren sound centered at 635 Hz and measured the power draw when driving *2* speakers (with a ~12V 3S LiPo battery) in single-drive mode to be 18W (9W/speaker). When I doubled the driving voltage (actually by dual-driving the coil with the same voltage), they started smelling like the clear-coating on the magnet wire around the coil was burning off--you know, a chemically melted-plastic-like smell after about 30 sec at full power. I measured the power draw this time to be 55W when driving *2* speakers (27.5W/speaker). Anyway, I think they'll do 50W/speaker but I wouldn't hold it there for longer than a couple seconds, and even 27.5W continuous power draw per speaker will fry it it seems, based on the smell, in just a couple minutes. I'd keep continuous average power draw to around 15W~20W or less per speaker. ORIGINAL REVIEW FROM 2 MAR 2016: Great for Arduino! I used it to make a custom siren sound and it works awesome! I'm dual driving it with an Arduino Nano, via the toneAC library and a custom home-built 15~20A H-bridge. To prevent DC bias in the speaker I have a 4700uF 25V bipolar AC coupling capacitor between one of the H-bridge outputs and one of the speaker wires. I made this 4700uF 25V *bipolar* capacitor from 6 parts: namely, 2 parallel sets of back-to-back (neg to neg) 4700uF 25V polarized aluminum electrolytic caps in series. I then placed 1A Schottky diodes from the negative capacitor leads to the left and right outer (+) capacitor leads. In this way I made my own 4700uF 25V bipolar (non-polarized) cap from 4 4700uF 25V polarized caps and 2 Schottky diodes. To see the speaker playing the custom siren sound see my website article (at ElectricRCAircraftGuy) by googling the phrase "One of my current projects: Arduino police siren w/simple, custom transistor amplifier/speaker driver circuit". ~Gabriel ElectricRCAircraftGuy com
