Both are good at sound reproducing but I think the Kicker is a little bit fuller, richer sound.

I prefer the sound from the Kicker. More presence to the sound.

Same here g

I paired my pioneer 6x9s with a sub in my bedroom a long time ago with the aid of crossovers and have very good memories of their performance. I then moved them under the eaves in my backyard. I sure enjoyed them and never felt like was missing anything. And for the money, I don't understand why more people don't use these around the house. When paired with a 10 or 12" powered sub, I was always extremely happy. So versatile and relatively inexpensive.

Nice. I bought kenwoods 6"9s and it sounded great. Later in my life... I bought pioneers. On 2 occasions. Completely different sets. Did not find that clarity. Just thought it was my memory. 6 months later... and I buy kenwoods for the other car. That is when I heard the difference. Even tried disconnecting the pjoneer and just plugging in the kenwood. Did not change the settings on the amp. And the clarity on the kenwood was so much greater... i threw out the pioneers. The thing is, when you have pioneers only... you will not have a problem... as there is nothing to compare it with. You feel it is great. Until ypu find a kenwood and you compare them. You cannot believe the difference.

I think more people don’t use them because of lack of knowledge to set it up right. They’d rather have plug and play. Also I think different speakers reproduce different frequencies at different SPL levels. Pioneer vs Kenwood, one sounding better than the other, it’s gonna be completely user preference there. The type of music played, and the type of sound one wants to hear in it. More bass, more vocals, more clarity. One speaker may do better than the other in one or more of these areas. Even the quality of the the install can affect these things. Based on that, there is not a “one is better than the other” answer that works for everyone all the time. All that said, I also think the Kicker sounded much better here than the Pioneer did.

I think it all comes down to preference but overall I’m enjoying the Kicker.

Great vid, really good to see the difference 👌

great video this is what I needed to see for some 6x9's going in truck doors oem locations run in parallel on an old punch 45 with bass caps

Pioneer sound more natural and pleasant, the Kicker sound more brighter but sometime can feel a bit harsh. maybe it's good when you drive and have environment and wind noise

I have a set of both of these speakers. The kickers seamed to be very crisp on the highs and louder on the same wattage. But one of the kickers started making a scratching sound only a month or two after playing them just from head unit power. The pioneers are still going strong after a couple years. Maybe I just had a lemon.

Hi, I am planning to replace factory original speakers on Camry 2003 with Pioneer TS-A6970F, 4-Way Car Audio Speakers, 600 watts Max power (100 watts nominal). And i just recently replaced the original stereo with Eonon Q0Pro. My question is Is Pioneer TS-A6970F is an over kill for this stereo i am a causal listener. Everything else in the car is original. So no amplifier etc. I am not planning to install it also. Car is quite old but i am planning to keep it for a while. Thank you very much for any comments and suggestion. Alternative suggestions also appreciated

Of course to any person who just wants loud music goes for kicker 😂 sounds like it’s I a bucket lmaoo Pioneer is super crisp and studio sound. Makes you feel like you’re in it rather than being in front of it…

The kicker clearly has ES on the cone but the links doesn’t take you too the exact same speaker that your showing.

You need to turn your amps gain down. I had this exact issue with mine and thought I just got a dud pair which you know it happens I thought okay whatever I just need to return them and get a new pair oh well shit happens no biggie. Nope, took them to the store and the guy working in the auto care area hooked them up to his test bench he had in his backroom and he said they sounded perfectly fine. I told him they sound distorted at high volume(7/10 max volume roughly) and he showed me to turn the gain down on my amp and it instantly fixed it. I ended up buying a different amp as the one I had at the time, pioneer 500 watt, didn't have that exact dial it had something similar to it but didn't offer the actual dial it was just a switch. Purchased the one he had hooked up to his test bench and he even helped me wire it and dial it in since he said he didn't have shit else to do and had 30 minutes to kill before clicking out and yah dude it instantly fixed it. Been using them ever since. Pioneer 450 watt 6x9's. Sorry for the story time but I wanted to be as descriptive as possible for you.

Can you do a review on some massive audio 6x9 3 way speakers

Hard for me to compare, the pioneer is coming out of my left channel only, the the kicker is coming out of both left and right, with a slight right bias. Kicker sounds more musical to me, pioneer sounds a bit thin.

Sounds like Kicker has a clear crisp sound, then pioneer. My front 6.5 speaker are pioneer n they sound pretty flat.

Pioneer has a Cleaner crisper sound. Tighter bass Kicker has less highs and more hollow bass. Both good depending what peeks your taste

I have the kicker 6x9s. I think they have a more high clarity sound then the pioneer

Bro bring ct sounds meso coax and midrange

What do think about the ts-a6990f i've heard they had more bass but are they better than the jbl 9632?

Pioneer vocal is more natural and less fatigue to ear The Kicker just sound too much fatigue to ear and distorted

The pioneer has more mids which gives it an advantage and sounds more detailed creating a clear picture and balanced sound. Unlike the kicker which is too V-shaped and very far from reality 😢

Nice comparison. I like the sound of the Kicker better. But 6x9s are used mostly in the rear decks of cars. It would be great if the 6x9 test are done there. I would like to see them in an free air application and see how well it can produce bass frequencies using a db meter. I remember back in the day when I was 12 years old, the 1988-1993 Ford Topaz sounded like it had a subwoofer in it, but it was just the stock 6x9’s. I bought Black Diamond 6x9s connected to a Sony DSX-GS900 which puts out 45 watts x 4rms in my 2004 Corolla, it produces pretty good bass but not as much as the ones in the old Topaz. I want practically all my trunk space. So if someone can find 6x9s that can hit pretty hard in an free air application in a car that would be awesome.

Not gonna lie pioneers don’t sound that bad hooked up to an amp might go with them since on a budget

I just put these they’re from Walmart. They were only 60 bucks and they damn sound fucking amazing especially for 60 bucks. Sounds WAY fucking better than the shitty stock ones. Magnet is little heavier and wider too and the whole car sounds so much crisp and clear finallly. The older base woofers just sound muddy and shitty at high volumes. This is great for everything rock or metal. Country music or hip hop they have really good bass on the spec sheet it starts at 30hz which is crazy good for only 60 bucks??? I see no difference in quality to the KS series really maybe if your some sound dork but in general damn best 60 ever spent. Best Buy wants 150 for the CS series no difference imo

I like the way the pioneer sounds better to me, more clear, i think its totally the opposite of what your saying, the pioneer sounds like it handles bass much better , the kicker actually sounds a little muffled. Voices from the pioneer also sounds way much better.

صوت الكيكر أفضل برأيي الشخصي

Kicker sound a bit better BUT what's not mentioned is the price! Kicker are around $100 while the Pioneer around $50... Do i hear double of the price sound quality? Nope. If they were priced similarly then yes Kicker is a better value however they're not Pioneer wins based on price/performance.

Those kickers need more power

Pioneer clarity sucks vs kicker and kenwood. Tested with several kenwoods and pioneers. Usually buy kenwood 6x9s and pioneer subs.

Its pioneer for me

Pioneer sounds flat on the highs, Kicker sounded like it handled the bass,mids and highs well.

You must be doing something wrong with the setup. I have the same model of Kicker 6x9s and they have a ton of bass. If they are in those tiny 6x9 boxes, they aren't going to sound great. They are meant to be mounted in a free air environment. Like in a sedan back deck. Those little boxes suck.

both are distorting really bad......

Why don't you use some test music that has real instruments and/or voices instead of all this highly-processed electronic stuff? No one can tell what sounds "natural" with electronically-created music. We know what a trumpet sounds like in real life. We know what a piano sounds like.
