If they're anything like the pioneer 2-way 6x8's I have they're excellent.

wow, am i the only one that ended up with pioneers that suck ballz. the older stuff i had luck with (they were the dark almost brown gold color ones 3 way) but the newer stuff is iffy as far as im concerned. even my buddy bought some 6x8s for his ranger and they sound a very little bit better than my stock speakers in my ranger. are the pioneers they sell at wallmart the same as they sell everywhere like bestbuy, circut city, crutchfield etc...? you can get these things for like 40 to 50 bucks on ebay so i guess you cant beat the price....ive always liked the pioneer stuff. now im looking at alpines or some other brand for speakers...

I like the Pioneer 6x9s in the back of my '86. Need a better way to mount them, though. Rattles quite a bit. (I'm just not big enough into stereos to know all the tricks.. and I'm in no hurry to climb back into that trunk and deal with 'em)

I should mention that I ran those 6X8's with bass blockers and on an amp.  So they were only used for higher stuff, thus, they didn't distort.

I have 4-ways similar to those in the 93, I also have high pass settings on my head unit and they impress everyone that has ever heard them. Trust me, you will not be disappointed!

I have pioneer 6x8's 3 ways from Best Buy in my 1990 Ranger Supercab and I am very dissapointed with them. The highs are a little better than the Jbl premium sounds but they handle no lows at all. They suck! They distort at medium volume with a 6 year old Jvc cd player. I wish I would have took them back and got my $75 and slapped the Jbl's back in. This is my 3rd set of Pioneer speakers, I had a set of 4x10's that sounded decent and a set of 4x6's that sucked too. I have a 12'' Pioneer subwoofer in my Cougar and am happy with it though.

How can walmart put pioneer on the box and sell them as such unless they're genuine pioneer?  I would think that would get walmart in some serious trouble.
