Power Acoustik XP-653K 6.5-Inch Three-Way Full Range Speaker Review

Power Acoustik XP-653K 6.5-Inch Three-Way Full Range Speaker

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.

Over two years ago I sold my whole system because I was really broke. Now I am trying to rebuild so I started with a deck and these speakers. I was always interested in power acoustik's 6x9's because I use to have their 12" mofo's and they were awesome. These are no different. As long as you tune your deck correctly you will be able to get very nice, loud sound out of these speakers. Plus you get a decent amount of bass out of them. However, I plan to take the bass out of them with a crossover when I decide on a subwoofer.
My old system had 150 watt peak Rockford Fosgate 6x9's and I loved those too but I would have to say that these blow them out of the water. Again, especially because these were about a third of the price of the Rockford's.
Only con that I can think of is that about a week after I bought them the price dropped about nice dollars and there is no way for me to get refunded that money even though the price drop was very close to my time of purchase

These tweeters are of good quality and construction although the included brackets that mount behind the door for flush mount installation could be of better design there are ways around it. After I tried using the brackets for about 30 min I tossed them in the trash and just used a hot glue gun. The finished product looks great and sounds as well!

I use it to cut instead of boost without losing freq. remote feature controls the sub amp. Connected directly from sub out of crossover to power amp, find the freq. you like turn it up or find the one that causes problems and cut it. Works for me, you just can't strap it on to some system and crank it and not worry. Some knowlege and tuning will help get the results you are looking for. So far it has felt like someone kicking me on the back of my seat and my hair moves. Wait I do not have any hair! Good Luck!

I bought a pair of these speakers for my Jeep. I was excited about them because they seemed great - big magnets, high power, and so on. However, I put them in and they ended up sounding really tinny and unclear. I had 50 watts rms running to each speaker, and they handled that power well at first. They didn't distort (although they didn't sound clear and crisp at all), but very quickly the power blew the woofers. Now the tweeters make a little bit of tinny sound, but the woofers do nothing at all. I am very disappointed with these speakers. They do not sound like quality speakers in the least, although they do look pretty cool. Their power ratings are completely unrealistic, as they couldn't even begin to handle a quarter of the power that they are advertised. The company also has not responded to my emails to see if they will fix the speakers.

It is amazing how our ears work, and how much the contrast of a nice crisp high frequency emanating from a small tweeter can accentuate the deep resounding low frequencies produced by a subwoofer. For instance, if you\'re listening to a bass guitar solo, the subs are generating the bulk of the sound of each note being played, but it is the tweeters that project the sounds of the fingers hitting and sliding across the strings. Get the best out of your sound system with a pair of SSL tweeters mounted at or near ear level and you will expand your auditory experience in a way you didn\'t know was possible in a vehicle. The STW20 from Sound Storm Laboratories is a pair of 4 ohm super polymer tweeters with neodymium magnets that produce 200 watts of peak power with a frequency response of 2.5kHz to 21kHz. These tweeters come with an in-line crossover network, are ferro fluid enhanced, and can be either surface, flush, or swivel mounted.
