This speaker comparison is one of the best ive ever seen….heard. Different styles of music and the time stamps, its almost like listening to the speakers in a store, if you have good headphones. You can hear the difference clearly. Good job! 👍

Really impressed with the pioneers, they sound really high end. Tweets are pronounced without being harsh, midbass and vocals are also really impressed. BlAM is also inprsssive. Going to get me a set of pioneers for my Volvo now, thank you!

Pioneer sounds every single notes mids highs and beats crystal clear ammazingly❤it

I love these comparison videos! The pioneer, focal and Memphis did not disappoint! Maybe do a video with alpine X and some other high end models next!

The Blam speakers sounded best to me, particularly on vocal passages. So much clearer and articulate.

15:50 I was listening with a pair of Sennheiser HD 650s with an external DAC and AMP. The Pioneer plays this song at with a good neutral level. I do not hear any unwanted vibrations. I can only hear the song, not the speaker. Not too bright and not too muddy. Nice!

Josh!!! Another great video! I’m looking to upgrade a 2021 Bronco and the 6.5’s are gonna carry the weight of my closed-n sound (tops on /doors on).

Awesome reviews.. I love the kicker speakers so just bought 4. great sound for my hearing impaired self.

I love these Pioneer. after those the Memphis. great Video!!

Mannnn they all sound so much better than my stock speakers 😅 I can't wait to upgrade

Thank you so much. You do a fantastic job comparing all of the equipment in detail. Which will make my decision easier~

I'm new to this channel it's informative and awesome presentation. But every time I see "breakers" combined with your energy I have to ask...Back in the day did you break? This is a real question

Thank you so much for this. This is so well done! I haven't tried any speaker comparisons since doing my old car around 2018ish and this video was so helpful. It also jogged my memory of my impression of brands i listened to in the past. My ears still do not like kicker, think focal is highly overrated, and in that second song i was ready to throw blam in the trash. The Rockfords sounded the cleanest to me but i do like pioneers and appreciate their fullness. The only thing that surprised me was i like Memphis more than i thought i would. I give those 3rd place. Thanks again!

Excellent video. Earned me as a new subscriber. Most of us have no way of comparing these speakers before buying. I never knew how different each brand could be from the other. And you're absolutely right that the tastes are very personal. I was surprised that I didn't like the Focals at all. But I really liked the JBL's. My order would be... 1. JBL 2. Kicker 3. Rockford Fosgate 4. Blam 5. Pioneer 6. Focal Not rating Memphis cause I mostly skipped their tracks.

Okay you got me. I'm officially into BLAM. Going to try and get some from your site soon. Just curious, I'd like to get a BLAM sub as well but can't find anything online. Do you have them or will you be getting them any time soon? Absolutely love the content man. Keep it up!.

The BLAM has the most bass sound carry out of all of them, Pioneer & Memphis are a really close choice for me...!

I am looking at upgrading the 6.5 ceiling speakers in the motorhome I just bought, and I am wondering what considerations I should keep in mind when I choose the equipment for that space. Also, if you have mounted an amp to play off of the driver's head unit, where did you put it?

i really like these kind of videos, thanks for this. i think the pioneer edge out everything else in my opinion.

In all of the sound demos I have listened to in these videos, I am torn between the Memphis and Focals more than any of the others. I wonder how good either brand would sound in a 07 honda crv

I think pioneer and jbl both blew my mind but I must say I hated the focal it sounded dead and I really thought they would be one of the best and kicker had the lows covered but not the best tweeter

Josh ! Just found your channel, and really enjoy how you present pretty objectively. In contrast, look at Comments, definitely proof that everyone hears ‘differently’. Maybe some hearing loss from listening to music LOUD, or going to a lot of concerts ? 🤔 Anyway, back to the vid, it really helped give me a foundation of brands to narrow to, eliminating others … DESPITE the fact that I will be buying Components. I prefer the separation, fidelity, and more immersive experience. As you had stated, A Lot of brands/series were left out, otherwise the vid would take an hour. But, brand-to-brand, this helped. Am I making a mistake by that broad of a generalization ? Are Components not easily inferred from these models tested ? When I want a Technical Review, I Love Williston Labs’ channel. You’re my go to for clear overview, and objective comparisons. If making these is something that you want to make a Big part of your business, may I suggest vids on tiers: Budget, Moderate, Top Flight. Then, presenting your Top Five or Ten, based upon your expertise, or overall … (?). Your educational vids are also Great. I’d love to see more on speaker types (my preference is ROUND & Components … Always). I think that oval speakers were just developed out of necessity ‘back in the day’ to fit in back shelf, but stayed because people still BUY THEM. But, Round are better from simple physics. The cone is to move air, or simply move, and symmetry (round) is functionally more efficient. An oval cone Cannot move as uniformly. Last, I’ve read that Passive crossovers “rob” quite a bit of power going to speakers. Are Active XOs appreciably Better ? Been looking at DSPs from PRV, Stetsom, Taramps, for example. Anyway, I’ll keep watching, in hopes that some vids come in addressing my personal Favs: (Round) Components, Multi-channel Class D amps. I’d Love it if I hear back, either DM or Replying. Regardless, Great Vids !

I have Memphis those Blams are too freaking awesome nice clear mid range

I have listened to this over and over again and it is by far the best of its kind and has also helped me come to terms with what I really want from a speaker. I have come to the conclusion that I would like the Rockford Fosgate's for their clarity and I was surprised that they didn't do well with the first piece of music. Do these Rockford F's compare favourably with the less powerful P1650's? Finally, and thank you for this great vid, what is the name of the last piece of music please?

definitely got to say my two was the pioneer Z and the JBL's, The BIAM also was good and i felt probably the loudest tested. The Focal's also sounded good but had a very flat response which is probably better to some but i like the richness sound from the pioneer and jbl like mentioned previously.

Ok I like those pioneers the best what 6x9’s would you recommend to go with those? I’m run them without a amp at first with Sony ax6000 receiver

Which ones sounded best to me depended on the type of music that as playing. Some were good on some content and not as good on other content. If I had to pick I would say overall 1. Pioneer 2. Blam (a surprise for me) 3. Memphis (highs were a little to bright at times though) 4. JBL 5. Kicker 6. Focal 7. Rockford

Can you tell men what are your opinions about the Polk Audio DB652 and DB6502. I bought those two snd haven’t installed un my crv but i want to know if i should buy another set for the price.

No kidding Josh everyone has their options and needs but I sat through this whole thing to hear your thoughts on the review. Good job zero.

Great video amongst a sea of you tube nonsense. The focals are like a body builder that doesnt do legs. The upper looks superb, but the bottom half is puny. Pioneer had the most dynamic sound of the group. These are important differences when you introduce them into a door, which typically have suboptimal acoustics compared to an enclosed box. JBL also dynamic but you could hear a tinge of distortion creeping in. Kickers sounded worst. The pioneer line is actually very good at all price points below 500 dollars, be it component or three way. Z-Series TS-Z65CH 6-1/2 component set up is best at its price point. Some could argue Infinity Kappa components, but it comes down to personal preference. Kappas are 3 ohm, pioneers are 4 ohm, the latter being the safer option if you are using factory amp that came with your auto.

Josh very helpful video

Not a memphis fan, but it beat out all the other speakers. Thanks for the video

What are the best 6x9 and 6.5 in speakers I can get for under 150 a pair that would work well with the Sony XMS400D? If anyone has knowledge I’d greatly appreciate it I’m not looking for speakers with well rounded sound and a nice tweeter that doesn’t over shine. Any help I’d appreciate thank you!

Hands down Polk Model DB+ Marine Quality 6.5 inch($100 pair 100W RMS) and 5.25 inch ($80 pair 80W RMS) 2 way coaxial speakers are some of the best speakers you can put in your car regardless of price. They come with 3 different types of installation rings so easy fit for any vehicle or boat. Plus, they simply Rock! If you feel the need to spend more Savard 6,5 inch Component speakers ($130 pair 60W RMS) Rock too! Then JBL and Rockford Fosgate. After that, I don't much care cause what I have are rock solid performing speakers that won't disappoint, nor break the bank. Turn it up people! lol :)

Well...I've already got the clubsq so no going back now, but not dissapointed after seeing this great video. Pioneer is impressive though! Some advantages to a 3ohm speaker and high sensitivity though, smart by jbl.

Hello Sir I'm new to your channel. I just want to ask for advice. I've got 4th gen Camaro with blown speakers (typical issue in Fbody). I've got factory Monsoon system so Blam with their 2Ohm impedance will be a perfect match and they're easy to get in Europe. I was thinking about Relax Series, but Blam doesn't sell their 165mm/6.5" woofers alone which should fit behind sail panel. Should I buy two sets of Blam 165RS/RX or i can fit Blam 210mm R8EL Woofer without hacking stock mounting point and sail panel itself? In theory I could fit 165RC speaker but twitter in this particular speaker wouldn't work with monsoon amplifier in this location as this channel is only dedicated to Woofers.

Pioneer and JBL stood out by a wide margin to my ears. Pioneer very smooth and refined, JBL had far more impact in the snare hits but was a little more rough sounding.

Thank you for doing coaxial speaker revue. Hard to find without a component comparison. I personally think component speakers are over rated and unnecessary unless your car originally comes with them.

Wow. I soooooo love that you guys actually do A-B-C etc listening tests. Please keep that up. Shocked my self. the Focals.....don't like at all, least controlled bass and just really don't like them, probably my last place but deffinitely surprised. My best, Probably the JBL or the Pioneer which was only better than JBL sometimes or otherwise very close. I won't try commenting on all the rest but I only wrote to say, I was surprised that the common name Pioneer and JBL were easily best to me and that Rockford Fosgate was probably next. the Memphis and Focal are probably the only ones I don't like much.

DLS four ever beautiful speakers

I was hoping that you'd switch the focal tweeters between flat and high so we could hear the difference.

Listening with Audio Technics m50 headphones.I say for my taste and ears ---Pioneer hands down by good amount.

Need help in picking a component from below options Audison APK 165 Polk Audio DB6502 JL audio C1 Steg Leo 650 Morel maximo ultra

First like first comment.. I will upgrade my speakers. Front doors habe 6.5 inch alpine type G rears s55. Thanks for guide us. I liked pioneer but need to think about other variants of alpine as well.

@ 13:42 Are the Blams buzzing here? I know its on the Pioneer sample (so in the song), but seems like its making the Blams buzz.

As much I like fosgate I put it last all of the others are virtual draw in my book. Biggest surprise came from the Pioneers and the Blam's.

I got to say Rockford and focal sound the best to me great test 😊

Blam Express vs Hertz cento pro cpk 165. Which one will be good for amp and without amp

Really wish you would talk about the crossover on these speakers. In particular the ones that have true 2 way crossovers (inductor for woofer and cap for tweeter). Also all these speakers are between 100 n 200usd. None under 100usd. To me best coax under 100 are alpine s-s65 and polk db652

How does the newer JBL Club 64SQ compare to the Club 625SQ? Looks to be a newer model but is it actually improved?

Great video. I have a Sony DSX-GS80. Just curious, my vehicle has 4x 6.5 spots for speakers. What would you reccomend to match that head units power since it is slighty different from a normal head unit? Thank you.

Could you guys do a comparison video with infinity kappas? In my opinion they are right up there with focal speakers in terms of quality.

I replaced my all speakers with all JBL very clean

I have a question I currently have a component set of the kicker CS and I would like to replace the tweeter with the kicker KS tweeter. Is it possible for me to not run into any issues in terms of final impedance to the amplifier.

Pioneer in my opinion sounded the best. Very clear and little distortion.

The pioneer and the Rockford Fosgate for me

Blam makes a hell of a lot of mechanical noise 😳 I'm think its gonna be between JBL and RF for me. Thanks for videos like these!

Just got a caddy xt4 and the sound blows. With my stock u speaker setup, looking to upgrade to have reasonable listening sound or at least enjoyable.

Have you done a video on 3.5” coax ?

The website in the link is soo broken cant even use the option to look up speakers for my dedicated vehicle

Guess we do all have different taste and hearing lol. I liked the Focals, Blams and Kicker the most. Listened with Sennheiser PXC550 headphones

I'd like to mention that the Jl Audio C1 650 series coaxials are awesome for the money

My audio test puts them in this order 1)Pioneer 2)Memphis 3)Blam 4)JBL 5)Focal 6)Kicker 7)Rockford Fosgate

Breaker Stereo and Performance, I'm looking to replace my JBL GTO629 6.5 coaxials in the rear doors of my Toyota 4Runner. (60 watts RMS) I currently have all 4 of my speakers powered by a JL Audio RD400/4. 95% of the time the rear doors are only used as fillers, as I have a set of Pioneer 6x9 D Series components in the front. What I'm looking for is a pair of speakers that can get ridiculously loud when we go to the beach. I open the rear doors and play my music only thru those 2 speakers and my 2 JL Audio W3's. Not looking for any SQ or bass, just pure loudness without distortion. Thanks in advance.

JBL and pioneer really speak to me

Great informative vid, but I’m in the market for a set of 6.5 2-ways with tweeter

I’m looking into getting four 6.5 pioneers, in your opinion what amp would pair up the best with these?

Could anyone tell me, please...the first song, what is the song title and who's the singer or band? To my ears and also my music preference, these would be: 1. Blam &/or Pioneer 2. JBL &/or Memphis 3. Focal Kicker & Rockford not that musical, sound dull in opposite way with each brand funnily enough....

Need a sound review for jl audio c1 and c2 6.5 and 6×9

pioneer for me, somethings up with the blams, something vibrating.

Do the pioneers need a break in period?

Man I was about to buy Focal but JBL caught me of guard. May to rethink it now between JBL & Pioneer. My big system I’m running Deaf Bounce and Sundown. I used to run Hybrid Audio. So I would love to hear a Infinity Kappa test.

DS18 PRO-ZT6 6.5s are the shit. I had Infinity 6.5s and at 80rms they sounded good. the ds18s with the same power sound louder and more crisp.

Focal seems to focus on that flat-sounding audio alike the typical studio monitors imo

Those pioneers sound nice. An then memphis. Focal sound a little tiny...fosgate sound dull. The rest just sound flat.an need eq to get the best out of em...I'm partial to memphis doe have a set on mclass 5x7 I been running for years that sound great with no eq just flat.

CONGRATULATIOS GREAT GREAT VIDEO THE REAL SOU D & QUALITY 1: JBL 2:PIONEER 3:FOCAL 4:BLAM 🎼🎵💯✔️

In this order for me best to less Blam Pioneer Jbl Memphis Focal Kicker Rockford

From what I'm hearing I prefer the sound of the Rockford fosgate and the JBL. Giving me the clear and detailed highs from those tweeters without being harsh and piercing to the ear. The woofers are deep and responsive mids and they manage to not drawn-out the high nor get muddy. With the JBL being just a brighter than the Rockford fosgate. Both of thes speakers sound good through my headphones i cant wait to demo these in person

Can we get a best 6x9 and a best 4" two way

I really appreciate this video comparison, the Memphis speakers sound best to my ears

Do you think the hertz legend setup is worth $1,800 or is the something cheaper that’s just as good?

My fav believe or not was pioneer. I also liked Memphis, these were the most versatile in music types. The focal impressed me on the first track but its yet accurate bass was overpowering. On any EQ and CO all these can be made to sound as desired but there were a few that had their cones that showed residual vibrations and kinda lost its shape through deflection.

Can any of these bu run, no amp and factory stereo? 07 Dodge Durango. Dont wanna go crazy, just wanna fill out the sound a bit. 4 factory door speakers are lacking in such a big vehicle.

New suscriber

Jbl sound amazing

Pioneer the best for me

How many fingers do you have?

Memphis for me.

Memphis and BLAM FTW

Blam, JBL, and then the Pioneer Z-Series.

Which one is available in india

QUESTION ? What would be the BEST 6x9 for bass regardless of price? Also same question for the 6x8. Thank you and keep dropping more great content, PEACE.

pioneer kicks ass

Memphis, Blam, Pioneer

Pioneer & Kicker

Have to say, overall, the Pio's win for overall uncolored tonal qualify and accuracy, followed by Focal, then Memphis, then, well take your pick.

Low in the doors, Rockford will probably image best, and ultimately sound best.

Man, that second song really threw in a curveball. The Blam sounded so good with vocals, but the midbass buzzing was awful. It's the ONLY song the Kicker shined on. That Pioneer is really surprising. And the Memphis sounds great, but too bright up top for me. With a -6db drop, they might be perfect

for people new like me the last ones are for edm music just fyi it goes country then other music then edm so just fyi

and Memphis does it again 🔥

Where are the jls?
