Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The Power Acoustik XP-653K 6.5" speakers are a a huge step up from last years model (XP2K series). Every part of the speaker is better. The surround is a soft rubber than gives the speaker a longer lifespan and not foam like last years, the cone is stiffer, but could even be stiffer, and the voice coil is stronger. Power Acoustik changed from the electromagnet to a "regular style" magnet and this magnet is very strong when compared to other speakers in a $40-120 price range. The tweeters are silk domed and not plastic like the XP2K's. Also the basket is coated with a tough bed liner type material.
The Power Acoustik XP-653K XP 6.5" speakers sound so much better than last years XP2K, they even sound better than JL Audio's 6.5"s (JL Audio's don't produce enough highs), Toyota Tundra JBL System (JBL's don't produce enough highs, but have a lot more bass) and Alpine Type-S (not as clean sounding) series speakers. The mid bass is smooth, but the speaker does need more Xmax so the cone can travel further. The tweeters sound fantastic, not to bright, and you're able to hear so much more detail in a song, recording, or movie.
Just so everyone knows powering these with just the CD/DVD head unit will not make these speakers sound great. I'm using a Power Acoustik BAMF 1200/4 4-way amp. The BAMF1200/4 is sending 100 watts to each speaker and they sound so much better compared to when I was powering them with 50 watts each. Make sure your amp is 100 to 200 watts at 4 ohms with a Signal-to-Noise Ratio from 95 to 100 for best results.
Overall it's a great sounding and very attractive (the grill is ok) speaker, but I can't give it more than 4 out of 5 for performance because of the bass when I compared these to the JBL's. Power Acoustik really needs to increase the speakers cone travel.
