Poly Injection Cone
The CH6950 sound is built upon its red metallic poly injection cones, which produce crystal clear sound and look great doing it.

Butyl Surround
The butyl rubber surround lets you get the most out of your speaker, and will hold up to all the stresses of the auto environment (sunlight, extreme temperatures, etc.).

5-Way Sound
The CH6950 is a full-range coaxial speaker, utilizing a midrange speaker with polymide cone, a 1-inch polymide dome tweeter, and two 1/2-inch piezo tweeters in addition to the woofer. The result is an increased quality and depth to your music without a complicated install. Drop it in and be done with it.

Pros: These speakers sound great when they work. You can hear every sound crystal clear. Your highs, mids, lows, everything. They were only 30 bucks when I got them from amazon, so you can't beat that! Oh and amazon is the only place I've found that still has return shipping for free so I love it!!!

Cons: When I got the speakers, it looked like they were used. The tops were scratched up and had fingerprints all over them, but everything else looked untouched. Probably like that from the factory. Another thing is that after installing them, one of the speakers was possibly blown out. You could hear it rattle and crackle at low to mid volume, but at high it goes away. I tried cranking it all the way up to possibly fix a stuck coil as I've heard this can fix it but that didn't help. So I had to send it back and I'm awaiting a second pair. Just glad amazon covers shipping or I would have just bought another pair.

Other Thoughts: I put these into a 2001 cavalier with a base system, so it will be quite a pain to put these in if you have one. You have to first take off all the trim around the back of the rear doors if you have them, then you have to pull the cover up, and out to get to your speakers. After that, cut and splice or solder your ends after finding which wires go where with a wiring diagram, then pretty much force these speakers into the plastic frame that's slightly to small for some reason. The final task you have to do is cut holes in the top piece so your new speakers will fit through, then find screws that will fit from lowes as well as making sure they are long enough/not to long to go through the speaker cover, the top piece, and the speaker frame without hitting the metal plate. About an 1 1/2 will do it. After all that, you can put it back together. Now as far as why Chevy decided to do this stupid crap I have no idea, besides the fact that they don't want you doing anything with your car anymore except taking it to a dealership. I really love the old way of just dropping them out from in the trunk. But still, its worth doing this if you wanna save money. If not, just fork out the cash to get a "professional" to do it.

The GOOD: These speakers have a nice bass response, which I'm sure will get even better when I -eventually- get an amp for them. The tweeters and mid-range are very high performance. They may not be Polk or Pioneer, but they are very good speakers for the average person.

The BAD: The tweeters start to distort like crazy if you turn up the bass on your deck to even +1. If you have an independent subwoofer and amp, this is no problem as you can turn up the gain or up the bass booster settings (if available). Again, I'm sure the quality of the bass will increase if I hook them up to a two-channel amp, but the lack inability to increase the bass from the deck is a minor drawback. Also, twisting on the nuts requires two people: one person to hold the offset screwdriver, and one person to take a wrench and lay in the trunk and twist the nut on. Still good speakers, though.

The UGLY: These are two personal problems, as The UGLIES usually are, and probably won't apply to everyone. 1) In my '00 Accord, the right passenger seatbelt is covered by a large piece of plastic that is also the speaker grill. I have no idea why Honda decided to inseparably connect two important, but individual, ascetic features, but whatever. So I had to cut the factory grill/seatbelt thingy off because this speaker wouldn't fit under it, and now there's some ugly metal and plastic exposed. In general, replacing factory speakers isn't always made easy by the manufacturer. 2) The magnet of the midrange speaker somehow disconnected from the metal bracket that holds it above the speaker, so whenever the midrange or woofer moved, it rattled. This was definitely not my fault - it came like that out of the box. It was easily fixed by some carefully placed superglue, but still annoying.

All in all good speakers, especially for their price!, but if you want to be blown away, go with something higher in quality (and price).
