Product Description

Pioneer's TS-A6963R 6-by-9-inch three-ways now feature upgraded power handling of 270 watts max. (40 watts nominal). And this year, the A-Series speaker line feature something they've inherited from the D-Series speakers, a basalt cone. Pioneer continues to set an example with next-generation technology for improved sound: the tweeter, magnets, surrounds, the voice coil wire, the basket and more are all high-performance components that make up a great speaker.

Pioneer's A-Series Speakers

Pioneer A-series speakers outperform factory speakers on nearly every level. Packing a powerful punch, A-Series speakers are equipped with up to three independent tweeters with reinforced woofers, so every beat is heard and felt. Featuring a bigger, better cone than most OEM speakers, the A-series boasts serious output and booming bass. Extra-sensitive tweeters play at higher frequencies and are capable of handling stronger audio signals, resulting in vocals that are crisp and clear, even when you crank the volume.

TS-A6963R Features

Carbon Graphite IMPP Interlaced Aramid/Basalt Fiber Cone
One of Pioneer's major speaker breakthroughs was IMPP (Injection-Molded Polypropylene), which allowed cones to be lighter and more rigid. Pioneer then added long stands of Aramid fibers into the mix, for extra strength. Now, they've gone even further with the TS-A6963Rs, adding basalt and carbon graphite interlaced with long aramid fibers to provide strength and rigidity that powerful bass sound requires. High-density compressed internal architecture is resilient, stacks up against high power well and transfers sound quickly. The result is full-bodied, rich sound with midrange depth that conventional IMPP cones cannot match, and the durability to stand up to the high volume levels, humidity, and temperature extremes that thrash other speakers.

Large Diaphragm Tweeter
The newly developed tweeter disperses sound more widely with superior control, providing listeners with the best sound under all conditions, regardless of listening position or car. And the 1" mounting depth achieves more flexible installation.

Heat Resistant Polyester-Imide Resin Voice Coil Wire
Creating mechanical energy is hot work, especially at high volume levels. And as we all know, heat can cause distortion. That's why the TS-A6963R uses a heat-resistant polyester-imide resin voice coil wire. It allows the voice coil to handle more heat, improving input power handling as well as reliability. So go ahead. Turn it up.

Power Handling
The TS-A6963R now handles a full 270 watts max. power (40 watts nominal). Along with enhanced power handling, you still get the same high performance that all the TS-A's deliver

Bang for the buck

Review Date: September 27, 2009

Amazing speakers for the price. I was really amazed at how well these sound. These replaced my factory Bose speakers in my Acura and first time listening to these I felt like I had installed a sound system. Tight Bass, clear mids. I use an iPod through a cassette adapter and these really opened up the sound. I can drive with the windows down and still hear clean crisp sound at high level without distortion. Every now and then I find myself turning down the bass because these can hit low and hit hard.

Best sound for the money!

I just replaced the rear deck speakers of my 99 Mazda 626 with these speakers, and I have to say that for the price you wont find anything better! Installation was relatively easy (keep in mind this is the first time I have actually replaced car speakers) and Pioneer was even kind enough to include screws and wiring. The speakers themselves are great. The bass is tight and strong, but don't expect the same quality as from a purpose-built subwoofer. The high frequencies are neither tinny nor piercing, and the mid-range sounds smooth and natural. I look forward to putting the 6" x 8" 3-way units from Pioneer into the doors and pairing them with the new head unit for a little extra power.

I listen to a whole range if music from regular rock and electronic to brutally mechanical industrial and EBM. No matter what type of music is played it sounds great coming through these speakers! I'd most definitely recommend these to somebody looking for great speakers at a great price.

I bought these and the same make only 4 way instead of 3 for the front. I only have an aftermarket radio with 4 channel 20 watt. The sound on these is amazing for how little they cost. Very easy to install and came with connecting wires. The highs and mids are flawless and the bass hits are tight and not at all muddy or distorted. My friend said he could hear me pulling up and could hear the music as if he were standing right there. I listen to heavy metal and industrial by the way, to give an understanding of the sound Im comparing it to.

it comes with two speakers, if youre still not sure.

Can't beat the performance for the price

I have a 99 Camry and replaced the stock 6x9's with these. I do have a stock AMP, FYI. I ran them off the stock stereo for a week. They were an improvement off the stock speakers for sure, but sounded "sloppy". I probably would have graded them a 3 at that point. This weekend I installed a new Pioneer head unit (stereo) and the difference is crazy. My new unit had many more sound manipulation options (equalizer, etc.) which really brought out the performance in these speakers. Plenty of base for those wanting great sound without being obnoixous.

In short, I think these are great speakers. But if you are just replacing speakers and don't have a stereo with an equalizer, you won't maximize their performance.
