Dont mess with the Pyle and Boss crap,,Just get these for your slightly larger than 6 1/2" hole and pop 4 in your doors you can add a sub but really dont need one with these Nice Fosgates , Totally tight speakers and very happy with them have them in my Grand Cherokee and my Subaru Legacy,,great price,,fairly easy install(but im experienced)they dont quite fit the 6.5" hole have to drill new holes wich is not a problem for most However these will not drop right into a 6.5 hole so be prepared for that issue but once you get em in they sound very very awesome NICE,,5 stars,,Buy These!

I picked these up to replace the stock speakers in a 2006 Toyota Matrix. I would have given these 5 stars, but they were a pain to install. they are a little larger than a standard 6.5in speaker, so i had to get a little creative with the installation. Other than that, these are great speakers. Plan on spending some time adjusting on your head unit. Like it was said in other reviews, the tweeters are loud!

Installed them in all 4 doors of my 2007 GMC Sierra crew cab. They do not seem to produce quite as much bass as the factory speakers did, but the mids and highs are excellent. I am not saying no bass at all, just not as much as I had. But 6.5 inch speakers should not be your source for bass anyways. I bought them for the mids and highs, as I have a 12" sub under the rear seat. So for what I bought them for, and for the price I paid, I could not be happier!!!
