Sound great all by themselves

by egc , Oct 05 '99
Pros: Very smooth, detailed sound. Solid construction. Handles lots of power
Cons: Too harsh/tinny, not enough midbass
Boston Acoustics is one of the most respected names in car audio. I have owned numerous pairs of Boston speakers and loved them all.

The Pro Series 6.5 is a 6.5" woofer (really more of a mid-range in my opinion) and a 1" dome...

Got Pro's??

by ppueblo , Nov 08 '01
Pros: very clean, crisp and loud. Reproduces music exceptionally well.
Cons: I Dont think there are any.
First off let me say that underpowering a speaker will not damage it, nor will over powering--to a certain extent that is. Distortion is what kills speakers, and of course the occasional dummy who decides to hook up a tweeter to a full range amp with no...

Absolutely perfect imaging, accuracy, and clarity

by DBBurro , Mar 07 '04
Pros: Accuracy, handles complex material at unreal volumes, good staging, imaging, almost ruler flat response.
Cons: Cost, clean high power amp is a must. Air tight seal is a MUST.
I've had the 6.5 Pro's installed for a couple of months in my 03 Tundra. Have let them break in and have almost completed the dialing in of the system. As others have stated the installation of these is VERY important for the best results. A very ...

Boston = solid construction, solid sound

by clburdette , Apr 30 '00
Pros: built to last, killer sound
Cons: high cost, proper imaging and equalization are a must
The first thing you notice about this speaker set is the military-issue cast-aluminum basket on the 6.5 woofer. One look at this baby and you know it's not going anywhere for a while. A quick glance at the box reveals power handling upwards of 450 watts...

Not bad, but my next set will be the Boston Acoustic RM6's

by maestro5050 , Jan 12 '00
Pros: Relatively cheap, great manufacturer, easy to mount
Cons: Not the highest in quality
I have been a loyal Boston Acoustic fan since I bought my first set of RC51 (see my article) front end speakers. Being completely satisfied with them, I decided to go with the CX6 speaker set for my rear speakers. I can't say that I am very impressed...

Clear Sound, but with shortcomings

by eross , Jan 28 '00
Pros: Crystal clear, decent midrange
Cons: a bit lacking midbass, sibilant tweeters
So far most of the opinions I've seen are very positive and to an extent I would happily agree. I'll grant that these speakers are indeed very clear and I've noticed that you can hear many nuances that would not be present with many other component...

by Stackman , Jul 10 '00

by 172rgpilot , Nov 20 '00
Pros: great sound quality, superb
Cons: none
These speakers continue to amaze me each time I listen to them. They have a great bass tone which fills my car with the thump I have always wanted without the big subwoofers I did not want. The highs are amazingly clear as is the mid-range. For the...

Great set of mid-priced speakers

by Cosine , Dec 08 '00
Pros: Nice treble, solid bass
Cons: none
I replaced my stock car speakers with a pair of Rally's last year after hearing them in a friends car. I've been quite pleased with them since then. The highs are clean, clear and bright with just a touch of sibilance, as I like them to be.

by surfmakemoney , Feb 06 '00

The best for your money

Pros: Great sound, affordable
Cons: Don't fit in some cars without customization.
I just purchased a pair of Boston Acoustics CX6 Coaxial 6 and 1/2 inch speakers for my 1991 Eagle Talon. These are definitely the best speakers I've seen for the price. After comparing them to various other brands (Alpine, Pioneer, Kenwood, etc.), they...

great speakers at a not so great price

by checker15 , Dec 21 '99
Pros: great sound quality, especially when hooked up to an amp
Cons: price and availability
In all honesty, I'm not sure you can find a better 6.5 inch speaker on the market today. I have installed them in my 92 eagle talon, and they bump! they have lasted almost 4 years now, without any decrease in sound quality. The crossover that were...

Pro 6.5's, Legendary speakers

by dryphtyr , Dec 04 '08
Pros: Power, Power, Power, Clarity, Realism, did I mention power
Cons: Don't forget the power.  I'd say 150WPC minimum or don't bother.
I purchased these new 4 years ago.  In the first system I had them in, they were running bi-amped & time aligned with active crossovers off a soundstream lil wonder amp.  They had phenominal mid-range clarity, but I always found the highs ...

6.5^3's are great
by ninaudio ,Feb 22 '04
Pros: Awesome sound, 3 way set up provides ideal imaging.
Cons: Pricing might be considered a little bit steep, but are worth it
Great product, would recommend them to anyone without hesitation. I've been using these for 3 years now and they are running strong. I took home a Sound Quality award with these speakers in my car at my very first sound quality competition. I had the midrange and tweeters placed in the corners of the dash and the mid-bass in the door. It kept the soundstage nice and high. Very clear highs and lows. The 6.5 mid-bass speaker should really be placed in it's own small enclosure for it to really shine and give great mid-bass attack.
