Improved the sound of my system.
Size: 6.5 inches, 3-way
Style: Red
I installed these CH6530's in my 2004 Scion XB. It did not have the original factory speakers or audio system. These were purchased to replace a defective "Planet Audio" speaker which was failing due to deterioration of the rubber around the cone and general aging of the speaker. These were installed
in the front doors. I also purchased a set of Boss CH4220 for the dashboard speakers as a replacement for some unusual Planet Audio tweeters which seemed to add nothing to the sound quality of the system. The sound is much "cleaner" now and I like the performance more than the previous setup. The speakers are powered by a Boss 250W per channel amp. I play it loud but not "blasting". There is a Planet Audio head unit. All items mentioned (except previous sprakers) have been purchased on Amazon. The door speakers installed well as they were the same size as the existing speakers. An aftermarket "adapter ring" has been installed in the car to replace the OEM mount so instalation went very well. It is unclear as to whether or not these would have installed in the OEM mount which uses 3 mounting screws, but the size is the same as OEM speakers and the Boss speakers have several different possible mounting hole configurations. The output volume was a bit lower in the Boss speakers but was easily compensated for by turning up the gain on the amp. The new dashboard speakers also helped a lot. The 4" Ch4220's were mounted in my dashboard. The factory speakers mounted by 2 tabs right and left. The New Boss speakers have mounting tabs that lined up with the existing holes. However it was necessary to bend down the tab that is closest to the windshield. It is easy to make this adjustment. I also bent the 2 side mounts slightly upward to allow the speaker to sit slightly lower in the dash. That us all that was needed. A final modification that I made was to make some changes to an Audio (midrange/treble) crossover that exists in the system. The previous door speakes were connected to midrange output and the dashboard tweeters to the treble output. Since the new dashboard speakers are "2 ways" I connected them to the midrange, (previously used by the door speakers). (There was essentially no real sound when connected to the treble.) (There was very little with the original tweeters either.) Now I get a good range sound from the dashboard speakers. The door speakers are now connected directly to the amp output (crossover input) which improves the bass response in the door speakers. Again, I like the overall sound better than what I had before. Keep in mind that everyone has a somewhat different idea of what sounds "best" to them, and there are many variables in equipment they will be connected to. I feel that these speakers are inexpensive, yet they produced a better overall sound system than what I had previously IMHO. They seem well made but the wiring supplied seems a bit thin. I cut and spliced to the original wiring so I would have the proper fittings to connect to the speakers. They are 2 different sizes so they cant be installed in reverse polarity. MAKE CERTAIN as to which wire is positive and negative, when you hook up (or splice) your wires. You will loose bass response if they are hooked up in reverse polarity and it could damage the speaker as well. I didnt need the supplied speaker covers as they are covered by existibng OEM covers in the car. Nevertheless the speakers ARE attractive and would look nice with the supplied covers but they lack protection from objects that might damage the speaker cone. Its not fragile however. In closing,:I hope this helps your decision. Im sure that you can get better sound and quality by spending a lot more money, but these seem very adaquate for price and on that basis I would recommend them as a low cost /decent performance option if you need speakers for your car.

Pleased with the sound quality (especially higher frequencies) and supported volume in my SUV.

This review is for BOSS Audio Systems CH6530 Chaos Series 6.5 Inch Car Door Speakers - 300 Watts (Pair), 3 Way, Full Range, Tweeters, Coaxial, Sold in Pairs. The pair of 6.5” car door speakers was delivered on-time, complete and as described by the seller. The package contained two speakers, two gril
les, two sets of cables, mounting hardware and an installation template. There is also a warranty registration guide and product information is printed on the box. The manufacturer’s cardboard box was in poor condition on delivery; this led me to suspect that I was receiving a returned or re-furbished unit and is the only reason for deducting one star from my overall rating. However, on inspection of the contents, I found that these were well-protected and appeared to be complete and in good condition so I proceeded with installation. I have recently renewed the entertainment system in my older model Lexus RX350 and I needed to replace the original 6” x 9” speakers which were in deteriorated condition. The BOSS CH6530 is a cost-effective solution to my need; the performance specifications are sufficient for my (admittedly unsophisticated) listening requirements. I used a Jayubien brand 6”x 9” to 6.5 Inch Car Front Door Speaker Adapter (also supplied through Amazon) in order to mount the 6.5” BOSS speakers to the car doorframe. The included speaker cable has spade connectors which plug into the BOSS speaker terminals; I soldered the leads to the vehicle harness cables and added heat-shrink insulation. I did not install the included grilles as the door trim has its own protective grille. I am pleased with the sound quality provided by the BOSS CH6530 speakers; the higher frequencies sound especially good in my SUV and the supported volume is louder than anyone should reasonably experience while operating a motor vehicle.

I have never cared what other people said about BOSS, I have always liked them. I used these and same style 6x9 to replace factory speakers that were shot in my wife's 2022 F150 (because she listens to her country and hip hop loud). They sound amazing. She loves them. I will be getting a 200W amp to
add later, but for right now, It really doesn't need one.

Okay but flat and cheap.

Only rating 3 stars, since they are cheap and sound accordingly so. Not much bass, but okay sound overall. Bought these to replace front door speakers in a van, and they do sound okay. Wouldn’t call crisp, but acceptable, just not much bass at all. Very flat.
