Pioneer A-Series PlusTS-A6901C 6” x 9” 2-Way Speakers (Pair) – 450W Max, Crisp Highs + Clear Vocals, Enhanced Bass, Ideal Factory Upgrade, Installation Adaptors Included

These replaced the stock speakers in my 2017 explorer and I have only replaced the driver side and it is amazing. Stock power from the head unit it's the basic audio package. I'm sure when I get more power they will be even better. The lows are nice for being a 6x9

The sound is great and that is what I expected from Pioneer. No amplifier yet because I like to break my speakers in for a month first. I’m sure they will sound just as good when I do.

This worries me. Could you tell me if these details on the product (excess glue or ripples along the glue line) could short-term decrease the sound quality in my car, because it's not possible to buy something that doesn't meet sound quality standards, especially for a short time. I haven't installed them yet until I've confirmed that there's a guarantee that the product won't be damaged.

I wish I could say good things about these as I am a fan of Pioneer, but unfortunately I can't. The surround on one of them deformed within a month of being installed and it did affect the sound quality. The speaker would distort and crackle depending on the song and bass note. This happened on a base 276 watt Alpine system in a Challenger. The speakers only get 45 watts each. Of course it's past the return window, so looks like I'm out the cash on this ...
