PioneerA-Series TS-A878 3.5” 2-Way Speakers (Pair) – 100W Max, Balanced Sound + Smooth Treble, Great Stock Replacement, Easy Installation

I've long since upgrade the sound system on my 2006 PT Cruiser. Did a 6x9 conversion all round, have 2 amps and a sub. Never got around to doing the tweeters. But I soon tired of the horrific high pitch from the stock pieces of junk when the volume was cranked. No surprise when I examined my tweeters how poor of a condition they were in. I gently touched the cone, and it cracked like old paint. Not good.I pulled the stock ones, and used a 9v battery to determine the positive and negative poles on the stock wire connector. (You can use a 9v square battery on the contacts of a speaker to determine polarity - If the cone pushes out, you have the correct orientation. If it goes down, flip your polarity).Once I had this figured out, I wired in an additional capacitor. My amp pushes out a good deal of power, and without reducing the bass it would tear these to pieces. I will link what I used below.Once wiring and fitting was complete, I had to adjust my Equalizer due to the change in frequency at the front end. But once I dialled it in, it sounds amazing. Significantly better than the awful sound quality from before. And it's a little louder, and these will be more durable long term.I did not have to trim or cut up my dash, they just fitted. I got rid of the star screws my dash came with, and used the supplied cross screws from this kit to make things easier.If you're considering replacing your dash speakers, you should buy these. If you are replacing dash TWEETERS, you WILL NEED a capacitor or you will trash your speakers.Here is the cap I used:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H3RL6NI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

So, I have a 2019 RAM 1500 Big Horn "Classic" crew cab, and I knew instantly that the factory "Paper" speakers were going to come out of it. They sound so muffled with no life in them at all. I had already replaced the 4 door speakers with Pioneer TS-G690 6x9 speakers that fit perfectly in the doors with no modifications at all. Those speakers sound great BTW, but now it was time to upgrade the two 3.5" dash speakers. I like to keep the same brand speakers all around a vehicle if at all possible. I found these Pioneer TS-A878 3.5" speakers right here on Amazon for a great price! Amazon said they wouldn't fit my truck, but oh how wrong they were. I took the chance and bought them. They went right into the factory speaker hole and the factory screw holes lined right up with these speakers! They sound so good with the Pioneer 6x9's in the doors! I highly suggest using metra speaker wiring harnesses to plug right into you factory speaker plug. The Metra number is 72-7902. I know for a fact you can get that harness at Crutchfield.com if you can't find it on Amazon. If you are looking to upgrade your factory speakers on a Ram truck from 2012 up to the 2019 "Classic" these Pioneer 3.5's and the Pioneer 6x9's are a GREAT choice! I'd also like to add that I did install 600Hz bass blockers with these speakers as well. You don't want a lot of bass going to a speaker this size.

I'm not an audiophile but I've enjoyed the value of the Pioneer A series speakers in 3 of my vehicles now. In this case, I had the tweeters out if the dash for other work and used this opportunity to replace the stock "JBL" speakers. The size difference in the driver is incredible. I'm a firm believer that you can't tell good from better and better from best unless you have each of them side by side. Since I don't have two vehicles side by side I am cautious of saying these speakers sound better than stock. I can say that the design and engineering appear to be a night and day difference. The fit of the 3.5 inch was perfect for the center channel in the dash. Unfortunately I don't have a use for the second speaker in the set. Oh well.I soldered the original wire harness to the new speaker tabs after checking and verifying the polarity. This made for a near factory installation.

They work well. I replace the center dash speaker with this one. Had to get creative when remounting as the trim that holds it got cracked. I also soldered the old speaker connection to the new one so it plugs in. Sounds good.

Nice and sturdy, can't waite until there installed

These completed my truck stereo PERFECTLY!

Fuller sound for just plugging into stock system.I put these in my Toyota, 2012 Camry SE (non JBL) even though Amazon says that they don't fit. They actually fit perfectly without any modifications needed to mount them. I did want to use the factory plug from the old speakers so I unsoldered the clip from the old speakers, cut the factory resistor, since the new speakers already have resistors of their own, and I soldered the factory clip back on to the new speakers.You could just splice into the factory wires for your set up, but my car has these four speaker wires per speaker so I decided to just use the factory clip.The sound is fuller with more vocal mid and tweet. They are louder than the stock speakers at the same volume setting. I tested when I only had one side connected with the new speaker and the other side with the factory speaker. You definitely notice the difference!Understand that you won't be blown away as if you connected an amplifier but for their size and price, it's definitely an upgrade over stock speakers.I'm happy and would recommend this upgrade.
