REM65

2014 Chevy Cruze diesel So far I installed in the front doors of car, definitely a clarity of sound difference some volume increase. Different or more sounds not just volume, music sound more full depth also played more quality sounds as the factory wasn’t hitting the same notes. Definitely better than stock or a blown out speaker. My rear door speakers have better sound as well which are coaxial got a bit more high. I get tighter cleaner sound since installation. Using factory amp says 150 watts??? for 10 speakers… still not enough, these need a small amp and some tuning and adjusting for sure, I can’t wait till they are fully broken in and a bigger amp. At installation also installed: - Foam surround - foam behind speaker - Scoche GM brackets - 1 roll speaker foam seal - Chevy speaker frames all 4 doors - Amazon sound deadener sheets on and inside door cavity. - soldered wiring

For the price, these sound great. They aren't "audiophile" grade, but they are 100% an improvement for older vehicles. I have them, along with the 6.5 coaxial set, in my 1995 c3500 crew cab, powered off a pioneer head unit. Very impressed.

My car is 19 years old with 200k miles and although I still enjoy driving it, it wouldn't make sense to install expensive speakers. The factory paper & foam speakers were rotted out. These Recoil speakers are an excellent value. The sound quality is more than good enough and they should last a long time because they are made with better materials than the factory ones. Very happy with these for the price.

Great for the price, I have yet to run these speakers on higher power from an amp. But just running off of 30-50 watts they sound great and have good mid bass as well as clear highs.

Installed these in '05 Tahoe with Bose factory amp. Did not use cross overs as amp has frequency filters built in. No idea RMS of factory amp, if Google doesn't know, neither do I. Installation was smooth, just had to cut flush mount opening in "A" pillar to make tweeter recess and drill 4 holes in door to hold woofer. Installed tweeters first and took a listen. It sounded absolutely terrible. I'm running a GM factory head unit out of an '05 Monte Carlo and the treble was set to near max to compensate for factory Bose. Turned that to 0 and speakers were very clean. Tweeters sound excellent and have a high stance to the mids without turning up the gain. Nice. Installed the woofer in the drivers door next and again, took a listen. The woofers in this set compliment the tweeters very well. Had fade set to front and balance to left to isolate just the drivers side. Balanced to the right and easily heard how factory was sloppy. Volume is much higher than factory as well. Now I did some research prior to purchase and was legit only looking for improvement over factory sound on a genuinely low budget. The build quality is far and above that of factory, I don't know quality compared to other brands, I didn't buy other brands. They sound cleaner, louder, work great on this factory amp, and could near max out factory head unit volume without distorting. I am genuinely happy with this purchase. In previous reviews, I noted people commenting on bass performance, specifically how it lessened from factory speakers. Factory speakers are designed to do full range of frequencies to compensate for not having a dedicated sub. Speakers this size should not be given bass frequencies and should not perform well if they were. If you are upgrading your speakers, imaging what putting in a subwoofer would do! I am prematurely confident that I will not feel the need to install an amplifier for these. So, these perform very well in a 2005 Chevy Tahoe on a factory bose amp when installed in factory locations. But hey, what do I know?

Absolutely dominate, for the price I’m so glad I didn’t go with Pioneer or Alpine, I feel like my whole life is a lie. It’s one of those brands that probably copy technology. It wasn’t so sophisticated and it just mass produced it. As I said they dominate.

I was completely replacing the audio system in my '98 Chevy Silverado and looking for high-quality sound, but also needing to adhere to specific size requirements. Because I wanted to use the OE factory mounting locations, and retain OE factory appearance, component size was critical. I chose the Recoil REM65 system, because the components were a good fit- I appreciate the inclusion of highly-specific measurements in the product listing....but ALSO because Recoil was one of the very few budget-minded models to include a comprehensive set of specifications for the actual audio capabilities of their speaker system. I truly appreciate that. At this price point, I was skeptical about whether the components would be true to the specs, but my concern was unwarranted. Overall, this is a very good, inexpensive speaker system, and I am impressed. Component quality is quite high, with fit and finish looking very professional. The components come nicely packaged, and fully-understandable instructions are included. Fasteners are provided, for installation of the mid-bass drivers, however spade connectors and wiring is not. The passive crossovers feature a tweeter output jumper, under the cover, allowing for one of three output selections: -2db, reference (no attenuation), or +2db. This setting can be particularly useful, depending on the mounting location of the tweeter in your vehicle... such as using the "+2db" setting if your speakers are low on the door, versus using the "-2db" setting if your tweeters are high on the A-pillar, or in the corners of the dash-directly under the windshield. In my case, the tweeters mount at the mid-line of the door, in a contour line angled at the listener, so the "reference" setting was perfect. As for sound quality, again this speaker system impresses. These speakers are really designed for, and work best as part of a system which has a separate subwoofer. The drivers are rated as, and the included 2-way passive crossovers are attenuated to provide solid mid-base, while delivering good presence, and smooth high frequency output. Together with a properly crossed over sub, this system delivers excellently balanced output with impressive stereo imaging, and no perceptable frequency roll-off. These speakers sound clear, natural, and well-balanced... they are very musical across a wide variety of musical styles from jazz, to pop, to electronic, to rock. This system is very pleasant to listen to, especiallyduring extended drives- there is no listener fatigue, caused by excessive brashness, or over-accentuated sibilance. Equally important, the component materials seem very durable, and I expect these speakers to last for quite some time. Power ratings are true, as well... these 50-watt per channel speakers play distortion-free up through the full-power output of the 30-watt per channel amp I am using to drive them. So, at this point you're asking why I only rated these speakers as "3-star"? Customer service is where this product falls short. After I installed and tested my new speaker system, I noted a slight difference in the midrange (presence) of one channel (in my install, the right side) versus, the other. After rechecking all my connections, and swapping components from side to side, I finally determined that one of the passive crossovers was the culprit, causing excessive midrange attention. So, I followed the provided instructions, writing a detailed email message to Recoil customer support, and.... after three weeks, have heard NOTHING. I have re-sent my message twice, with no reply. I would be happy to purchase the replacement crossover component, but no-one ever even responded to my request for assistance. This is a major disappointment, which prevents me from recommending this product. That saddens me, because this really is an excellent speaker system, and I'm pretty sure I just got a "one in a million" defective component- a situation which could, and SHOULD be easily remedied... if only there was someone at the customer service department.

These Recoil 6.5 component speaker are an amazing upgrade from any stock component speakers. Tuned and powered correctly is how they really shine. I installed the Recoil crossover for these component with the lowest DB setting on the tweeter do to it being installed in my windshield pillar. The HPF I set to 120 hz on my Recoil DI 550.4 amp and gain was set to 50% on amp also. The provided crossover crosses to the tweeter at 3000hz which is good but I wish they crossed it around 3500hz because the Fs of the tweeter is 1600hz. I'm feeding these components only 60 watts RMS and they get loud, stay clean, and image very well. The tweeter is actually very articulate without any shrilling due to my dropping the DB in their crossover so that this silk dome tweeter cone stays in control. The mids are really good and mid woofers stays in control at high volumes do to the 120hz crossover I set...I'm running a Stinger MT1000.1 mono amp at 50% gain on their Stinger 12 inch 1 ohm 700 watt RMS/ 1200 watt max subwoofer that is tuned to 35hz ported in there excellently built ported box. The subsonic filter is set to 30hz and the crossover is set to 70hz...After blending the subwoofer in with the components I can actually say this system IS a great sound quality system. For less than $600.00 for everything listed above this is the best price to performance audio system I've have ever had... This system shames the MB Quart Onxy series component/coaxial setup with (2) 10 inch Power Bass subwoofer setup I had years ago for half the price!

I took a chance on these because they were so cheap. I just finished building a car system using 2 pairs of these and I am impressed. Sound quality is amazingly good. A reasonable low end and good highs from the tweeters. I am using a Pioneer media player and Alpine 50W per channel amp to power these in a convertible. Hard to keep bass in a convertible once the top is down. I haven't had it on the highway yet, but sounds great around town. I also bought the recoil rubber covers for the door speakers to protect them from moisture but did not install the foam backing. Foam and water don't mix in my opinion and ZI didn't want something holding water to create rust over a long term. My other build is far superior, but cost me hundreds more. These Recoils are quite adequate for anyone looking for a good sound at a lower price point. I set tweeters in the crossover to +2dB which is probably zero. I don't know how you would get gain from a passive crossover. I would look at this brand again if I need to replace anything in the future. I'm giving it 5 stars because they were so affordable and a great improvement over the OEM speakers in my Mustang.

Brilliant value for money just the job

Die Lautsprecher klingen für den günstigen Preis wirklich gut. Sehr feine Höhen und ein tief herab reichender, eher schlanker und sauberer Bass. Der Präsenzbereich ist etwas aufdringlich, das hängt aber vermutlich mit der Akustik in meinem Auto zusammen. Die Kästen der Frequenzweichen sind recht voluminös, das könnte in engen Autotüren knapp werden. Bei den Hochtönern könnte man bemängeln, dass sich das Gitter nicht abnehmen lässt und in meinem Fall jetzt 2 Gitter vor dem Lautsprecher sitzen. Außerdem könnte das Kabel länger sein, das würde eine potenzielle Fehlerquelle vermeiden.
