Design features
Designed with aa 6.5” size, the speakers come in parts of two. For most users, they should be easy to install. Similarly to other car speakers, they simply replace the old standard speakers of the car and the car audio system’s cables connected in order for them to work.
In terms of design, the polyurethane injection of car speakers is what gives them extra value. In all cars, the temperature rises quickly and soft materials such as plastics are the first which show signs of wear. With extra rubber, the car speakers are actually durable and they maintain a solid profile which avoids metal to metal contact.
The surrounding rubber is also suitable at low temperatures. The material is mainly used due to its real versatility in changing weather conditions. With a protective mesh metal on top, the speakers also look apart. The rubber part is painted in red and this means the little speakers stand out immediately.
Convenient features
The speakers are affordable and they are mainly made to replace old factory speakers. Old speakers can blow out for a number of reasons. But the good news is the Boss speakers are actually capable of replacing these standard speakers while adding sound quality and volume.
Since there are good materials used inside the speakers, this means they offer a more durable profile even on high bass. It is why they will last well in time, even when overheating. With a full range of up to 300W, they offer sufficient sound levels for the inside of a car or a truck.
Resistant to overloads, they can suit all types of music and radio talk shows. Those who want a more comprehensive update of their speakers can also consider the Bluetooth receiver compatible with the speakers, sold separately.
Verdict
With an appealing look and a combined power of 300W, the speakers are an affordable update for better sound quality in cars and SUVs.Pros
- A combined power of 300W
- Made with polyurethane injections
- Includes rubber protection
- Voice coil resistance at high temperatures
Cons
- Not best for base

The speakers come in different sizes, perfect for all types of older and new generation vehicles.
Editor’s rating
Design features
Designed with a distinct audio quality often seen as an improvement over factory speakers, the Fosgates are solidly built. First of all, they come in sizes ranging from 4inch to 6.75inch. To replace old speakers, users can measure them to find out the right size to fit in the doors, in the back of the vehicle or in any other location.
Made with an all-black design, the speakers remain low profile and elegant. For all vehicles, black remains the one true versatile color. There is no grill in the front of the speakers which means bass treble will be more visible.
Installing them is easy as well. From small city cars to SUVs like the Silverado, they can be installed within minutes. With a depth of up to 2.15”, they fit well in most scenarios. But the screws they come with can be long on some vehicles. Apart from this small inconvenience, the fit is always right when the right speaker size is chosen.
Convenient features
One of the convenient aspects of simply choosing a design which offers quality sound is how it changes perception compared to standard speakers. It is in these scenarios that many drivers actually realize they do not want to go for an additional subwoofer as the sound quality is already at a high standard. This is also the case with the Rockford speakers.
Depth adapters are offered by the brand as well. This is also an area where the user actually has to measure the depth of front doors to ensure there’s sufficient space to install the upgrade. But in most cases, this should be possible.
Other drivers consider factory speakers updates only when they are looking for a DIN or multimedia player. But the bundle can come to change the way multimedia is approached in the vehicle. With a kit which includes 2 speakers, users can improve the way music is listened to in their vehicles, regardless of the vehicle size.
Verdict
Available in all sizes, the speakers can add value to all music types, even if they are not going to replace a subwoofer.Pros
- Good sound quality across the range
- Simple installation with or without a grill
- Made with an integrated tweeter crossover
- Maximum mounting depth of 2.15”
Cons
- Reduced base performance

With carbon and mica reinforcements, the new generation car speakers are among the best solutions in their class for a future-proof purchase.
Editor’s rating
Design features
Plenty of attention has been given to the design of the car speakers. Even for such an affordable price, these car speakers manage to offer one of the best solutions for improved durability, which is the cause for the upgrade of standard speakers in the first place, in most situations.
In terms of fit, there are various options to consider. From 4X6” to 6X9” speakers, there are different versions to consider. All of these speakers use carbon and mica reinforcements, regardless of their size.
The design of the speakers allows the front metal grill to be removed, according to the preference of the user. Of course, it has a protective role, but it can also be removed for decorative purposes. In most cases, users will be able to see the differences and even enjoy the full treble with a low base.
Convenient features
When it comes to sound quality, it is important to make the distinction that users have to choose the largest speakers for the loudest volume. In this case, the largest speakers come with a 320W capacity. This is a bit higher than the standard average.
Those unfamiliar with speaker wattage need to know that these speakers are not able to replace a subwoofer, no matter how loud the sound level is set. However, they cover the midranges well and they are suitable for general audio quality, not specific to any types of music. Of course, they can always be paired with a subwoofer for added quality, especially when it comes to the deep base with an impact.
A new magnetic circuit has been added to the speakers as well. Since they are not at their first generation, this means that many inherent issues with durability have not been fixed. As a result, they will last for years.
Verdict
Combining characteristics such as affordability with high-end materials (ie carbon) resulted in balanced performers, suitable for all music genres.Pros
- Top durability for the price
- Made with carbon and mice
- Suitable for standard installation
- 320W maximum power output
Cons
- Not best for high note quality
