Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Pioneer's TS-A1683R 6-1/2-inch four-ways now feature upgraded power handling of 280 watts max. (50 watts nominal). This year, they also feature something they've inherited from the D-Series speakers--a basalt cone. Pioneer continues to set an example with next-generation technology for improved sound: the tweeter, magnets, surrounds, the voice coil wire, the basket and more are all high-performance components that make up a great speaker.

Pioneer's A-Series Speakers Pioneer A-series speakers outperform factory speakers on nearly every level. Packing a powerful punch, A-Series speakers are equipped with up to three independent tweeters with reinforced woofers, so every beat is heard and felt. Featuring a bigger, better cone than most OEM speakers, the A-series boasts serious output and booming bass. Extra-sensitive tweeters play at higher frequencies and are capable of handling stronger audio signals, resulting in vocals that are crisp and clear, even when you crank the volume.

TS-A1683R Features Carbon Graphite IMPP Interlaced Aramid/Basalt Fiber Cone One of Pioneer's major speaker breakthroughs was IMPP (Injection-Molded Polypropylene), which allowed cones to be lighter and more rigid. Pioneer then added long stands of Aramid fibers into the mix, for extra strength. Now, they've gone even further with the TS-A1683Rs, adding basalt and carbon graphite interlaced with long aramid fibers to provide strength and rigidity that powerful bass sound requires. High-density compressed internal architecture is resilient, stacks up against high power well and transfers sound quickly. The result is full-bodied, rich sound with midrange depth that conventional IMPP cones cannot match, and the durability to stand up to the high volume levels, humidity, and temperature extremes that thrash other speakers. Large Diaphragm Tweeter The newly developed tweeter disperses sound more widely with superior control, providing listeners with the best sound under all conditions, regardless of listening position or car. And the 1" mounting depth achieves more flexible installation. Heat Resistant Polyester-Imide Resin Voice Coil Wire Creating mechanical energy is hot work, especially at high volume levels. And as we all know, heat can cause distortion. That's why the TS-A1683R uses a heat-resistant polyester-imide resin voice coil wire. It allows the voice coil to handle more heat, improving input power handling as well as reliability. So go ahead. Turn it up. Power Handling The TS-A1683R now handles a full 280 watts max. power (40 watts nominal). Along with enhanced power handling, you still get the same high performance that all the TS-A's deliver.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great sound for the rear speakers of my Jeep, October 1, 2010

I bought the Pioneer TS-A1683R speakers to replace the inoperable rear door premium stock Infinity Gold speakers on my 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited.

The way the premium sound system in the Jeep functions is the rear speakers play nothing but highs while the front speakers play the bass and mid-bass. The Pioneer TS-A1683R has great high range that makes the audio from the rear in the Jeep sound superb.

I cannot comment on the bass of these speakers because my Jeep's premium sound system does not allow bass to reach them.

Note: Although Crutchfield's website says these do not fit into the Jeep, they do. I used Scosche SAC656 1995-up Neon 5.25/6.5-Inch Jeep Speaker Adapter - Pair and with little modification they fit perfectly.

I gave these 5 stars because they work as designed in my Jeep.

Generally I look for the best product to suit my needs regardless of cost or price. This purchase was at time when I needed to watch my dollars. This product fit the requirements and the needs. Best value for 4 way 6½ rounds that I could find. Performance is beyond expectation.
