Two of Our Favorite Car Speakers of the Year 

Our favorite car speakers of the year both come from Pioneer - a brand we carry if you’re looking for car audio installation near you- so this is a tie between two products from a company that’s been pumping out solid car audio products for decades.

We recommend the Pioneer TS-A6990F and TS-A6967S and for their high performance at an affordable price. Below we highlight the key features of both products, and we weigh in on their differences. The good news is, you can’t go wrong with either set for 2022.

Pioneer TS-A6990F Car Audio Speakers

Sound:  We like the bass performance on the 90F, so if you’re looking for an audio lover’s set up, go with this model. 

Tech: Coming in at 700W, you’re in good hands in terms of power for 5-way speakers.

Key Features: In particular, we loved the silk material in the tweeters on the 90F speakers to give you that precise, clear high and mid sound you want, as well as gold-plating for the speaker terminals.

Look: The shallow profile on these speakers will make for a clean, car audio installation for your vehicle.

Pioneer TS-A6967S Car Audio Speakers

Sound:  The real difference between the 67S and the 90F is the price point. The 67S speakers are a more affordable version of the 90Fs with a balanced EQ, and represent the quality we’ve come to expect from Pioneer.

Tech: 450W is plenty of power for 4-way speakers, and while you won’t need an amplifier for these, it’ll sound like it.

Key Features: These car speakers make for a fast and easy audio install to have you back on the road with your music in no time.

Look: Similar to the 90Fs, the 67S’ have a clean, shallow design that will stand out much more than most cars’ factory speakers.

This Subwoofer from Jensen is a Car Audio Classic

You’ve got our pick for receiver and speakers, so now let’s move on to that last, important addition: your subwoofer. As a dealer for Jensen’s car audio products, we like their 12” 4-OHM Subwoofer, the J12W. 

Sound: This subwoofer is digitally-optimized, so it’s ready for a streaming service through your phone while still catching all of that bass.

Tech: We’re impressed by the peak power on this sub, coming in at 1200W. 

Key Features: While the 4-OHMs make this a more affordable sub than others, we think this Jensen subwoofer sounds far more expensive, but with a lower entry point than some brands where you are paying for the name instead of quality.

Look: This Jensen subwoofer is simple, clean, and compact with a surround that is double-stitched and rubber injected for a tight-looking addition to your system.
