Product Description

Pyle’s Blue Label series speakers don’t just sound great – they look great, too. Feast your eyes upon the azure curves of Pyle’s Blue Label series and you’ll agree. They’re great replacements for your vehicle’s factory speakers – you’ll hear the difference immediately. Included in this package is a pair of round 4” two-way 180 watt speakers – carrying both the high and low end for a fuller range sound. The non-fatiguing butyl rubber surround keeps your speakers secure as well as extending the life of the product. A ¾” high-temperature ASV voice coil provides the richest sound, ensuring low distortion and providing an open sound stage. The blue poly injection cone looks great and allows your music to resonate with full power. The 20 oz. magnet structure and ½” neodymium film dome tweeter are what power these speakers and allow for a 110 Hz – 20 kHz frequency response. Trust Pyle to provide quality sound at a competitive price.

I replaced the stock under-dash speakers in my 1988 Toyota pickup with these. It is a big improvement as you might imagine. They screwed right in and had plenty of speaker wire. The sound is good as long as I don't have the bass turned up too high. I accidentally ended up with 2 pairs of these--I only wanted one pair--because I couldn't find if they were sold by the pair or by each. The Technical Details section says "Item Package Quantity: 1." I guess it means 1 pair. I figured that if I ordered 1, I'd only get one speaker, but if I ordered 2, I'd get 4 speakers. Better to have too many than not enough on installation day!

I got these for a Geo Metro that I got to save on gas. I did not want to put a ton of money into the speakers for a $1200 car. The car can only handle 4" speakers so I got 4 of these for it.

They do lack base as you would expect from such a small speaker but they do sound great. I may add a sub to them to get the real low stuff and then I think they would be great.

I would buy these again any day of the week. 4 speakers for less than $30 shipped to my house is a great deal and they don't sound bad at all. Anyone with stock 4" speakers in their car would do real well to replace with these. The difference for me was night and day.

Considering how inexpensive these speakers are, they perform well.
I upgraded stock speakers from my '92 Saab 900, and the difference wasn't too great. The Pyle's sounded better, but seemed to distort more at higher volumes and handle hardly any bass. My stereo sends maybe 18 watts rms max, and these speakers can barely handle it (not sure where they got 180 watts MAX)


I'm used to very high quality audio equipment, I suppose I was expecting too much from such low-priced speakers.

Overall, don't expect sound you would get from a higher-end system. Since these are lower-end (but NEW), I thought they would sound better than mid-end stock speakers from 15 years ago--not true. If you're renovating your sound system and want something that sounds excellent, don't get these speakers just because they look newer.
They will, however, work if you just want a simple sound system in your car that sounds like a 'normal' mid-lower end home stereo system.
