Review: Not bad 6.5" inch 3-way to replace stock door speakers by
Alphasonic which is Polk Audio. - I've always been a fan of Polk
Audio so I thought I'd give these sub brand Alphasonic 6.5" inch
speakers a try to replace my 2023 Kia Niro EV stock door
speakers. The specs on these frequency speakers are phenomenal
touting: 92 dB sensitivity, 28 Hz - 22,000 kHz, rivaling other
ferrite magnet JBL, Infinity, DS18 and even Hertz. The watts
aren't super great at 35w RMS each and 70w peak into 4 ohms.
Advertising tries to make them sound bigger by adding the watts
together, many speaker companies do this. Being this is what most
stock audio systems produce I wasn't too worried about it, plus
pair of these were so ridiculous cheap, I figured if they didn't
sound good I'd just keep them or donate them and get better
speakers. Couldn't be any worse than the stock speakers, it's
amazing how cheap and low quality automakers go with their base
stock audio, even in the year 2023 ! The new Niro stock speakers
are junk. They do offer a premium package with Harmon Kardon +
subwoofer but if you get a base model you get weak terrible
speakers. There are six speakers in the Niro, two tweeters and
two 6.5" inch woofers in the front doors, two 6" inch woofers in
the back doors that can fit 6.5" inch with a bracket. The front
doors need shallow mount or small magnets as the window glass
encroaches into the speaker holes when rolled down. I originally
bought Skar neodymium woofers for the front because you gain some
volume with neodymium magnets and they tend to be more sensitive
with a much smaller footprint than ferrite magnets to save on
space. The Skars are also amazing for the price. FIRST INSTALL –
I replaced the stock tweeters with Soundstream 1" inch, put the
Skar neodymium woofers up front and also installed a powered
subwoofer leaving the stock woofers in the back doors. Sound
improvement over the stock audio was HUGE, also gained
significant volume, more than enough for these old ears, just
wish I had better DSP for tuning. Bypassing the 8" inch Kenwood
sub definitely makes a massive difference, no matter what
speakers you have in the doors a sub makes all the difference
with low end, without one there's really no boom or thump. The
sub I have isn't enough to rattle your windows, but it does add
some low end vibrations. SECOND INSTALL - I later added a pair of
Alphasonics to replace the rear door woofers. I will say the
ferrite magnets are pretty small and was skeptical if they were
true to the specs as most other quality woofers utilize much
larger magnets and these are nearly the same small size as the
stock woofers. Thought I'd install them in the back doors to make
up for not having coaxials or 3-way. Difference was negligent as
the rear speakers get less power from the stock amp and to hear
them you have to change the balance so much you lose a lot of
volume up front. So I switched the Alphasonics to the front
despite already having nice tweeter separates installed and put
the neodymiums in the rear hoping to gain a little volume with
the higher output. Only made a slight difference and surprisingly
the the 3-way Alphasonics did not sound too shrill or piercing in
the high frequency bandwidth. So I've left the speakers this way
for a few weeks now. The stock EQ is flat and I only have to use
about 3/4 the volume on my sub versus 100% when it was running
with wimpy muddy the stock door speakers. Overall I'm pretty
satisfied as I'm not looking win any stereo competitions. The
stock volume is plenty as I don't want to age my ears more than
they already have. I may eventually replace the Alphasonics with
Memphis Audio 6.5" neodymium at some point, but for now it's not
really needed and the headroom and volume are a hundred times
better than stock. Still not sure if the Alphasonics actually
meet the specs, but they don't sound bad. Having dampening and
doors with good airspace also makes a difference.
Review: 6.5” speakers - Very smooth speakers, easy instillation.
If the speakers had just a little more base to them, they’d be
perfect!!! Overall, good speakers.
