Skar Audio TX35 3.5" 120W 2-Way Elite Coaxial Car Speakers, Pair

For context, I am not an audio file. Just an average guy who wants a good sounding speaker. I put this in my 1986 740 GL E it is a big upgrade from what I had before and definitely sounds better. I don’t think this video does it justice but definitely worth the price probably the best budget speakers you can find on the market, the set up was just wires connected directly to the ground. Took about 10 minutes. The sound quality is amazing. Definitely a good choice for any vehicle.

Great audio upgrade over factory, they sound 100 times better than before. Only negative thing, the skar tweeter is far bigger had to force them in between the window and dash. Once I forced them in with out breaking anything they bolted right in, and the grille snapped right in and fit in place over the tweeter. And worked good with the red wolf wiring harness they were on the correct polarity. I’m still amazed how much better they sound in my ram 2500 bighorn.

I was looking for a set of 4 inch speakers so I can change the ones in my car, saw several brands and couldn't decide easily, after about 6 months I decided to give a try to this little guys and they sound really great, obviously the will not reproduce really low frequencies because of the size, but they complement the other speakers really great, I usually use my car stereo with hi volume when I drive and they don't distort at all

Used them for some time now... 2 months to be exact. Paired all 4 6x8 with a Harmony Audio 400.4. Not the best but doable amp. Set by ear of course as I don't own a SMD DD1 or O-Scope... ran directly to said amp and not my Kenwood Excelon KDCX3. On initial impressions looking at Quality Control on the speakers its done really well. It was consistent on all 4 speakers. No grinds, binds, or pops when pressure was applied on cone to test any imperfections. REALLY like the red spider designer and red dome tweeter. Brings the black out well. One thing I wished was done differently was the speaker terminals. Either make them wider to have more surface area to solder on or just make them push terminals. Yes I understand it costs less to keep them this way but im sure speaking for alot of those who are wondering, and has these... if they were push terminals most of us wouldn't mind the price increase to have that flexibility and ease of installation. Other things to note, most main stream branded speakers of same cost doesn't compare to these. In the same price range finding speakers with the same build materials is next to impossible. Glass fiber cones and silk dome tweeter are nice combos for this price. Stamped baskets also keeps prices cheaper also. One more thing I would like to see Skar Audio do in the future is reduce the basket size. It is a true 6x8 but this basket is a bit wide. On installation some may need to do some sanding or prep work to have basket sitting flush with oem mounting. I drive an 02 mustang and it works but with some wiggling and very slight modifications to the oem speaker mounts of course... not expecting a perfect fit but just my 2 cents on it. Performance - comparing these to what I have owned and played with... which are the Alpine Type R 6x9 the Alpines still outdo these. When I ran the Alpines they weren't even amplified just straight from the head unit which is the current KDCX3. It was louder, deeper, and had better acoustical response. These TX series were brought up to the same level as the Alpine with the amp though. Of course it's 60$ vs 100$per pair... in this scenario you do get what you paid for. The TX has the better tweeter for certain though. Anything 1khz on the Alpines were unbearable and ear piercing. The Skar tweeter are definitely much more linear and easier to the ears. Consistency on play time they both done fantasticly. From Rap to Screamo, double drum kicks and extended bass sweeps both did amazing. Although again, the Alpines were not powered via amp... with the glass fiber cone material mids were more crisp but held less resonance. My Harmony Amp had a 12/dB slope and yet it was still noticeable. The mid on the Skars didn't hang as long. Longer and lower notes also seemed to bottom the Skars out. Roughly 38hz and below... only tested this to see the potential although I know it wasn't ideal for them. The Skar never started smoking or stinking. They held up for 3 hours of constant play at my full volume as I do drive for extended times going out. No sudden smells or stops from the speakers. They have great punchy mids with the right filters, and good sweeps for bass. All in all compared to the Alpines the Alpines had better efficiency due to their neo motors. This one has better value and highs. Play consistency is the same though. If you're looking for the best value this is it in my opinion. They definitely hold true to their rms ratings. Dont plan to overpower them as they'll start to bottom out and clip. They do however need an external amp to reach their full potential in my opinion. Maybe in the future if Skar redesigned these they can definitely be top tier component pieces. Maybe downsize the basket, increase the throw distance, and up the efficiency per db/watt there will be no other that can compete. 4/5 overall. Would I buy again? Hell yes.

Great product and they sound awesome, the 6.5’s are a direct replacement for my ‘04 grand Cherokee but the 6x9’s hit the window glass and had to be shimmed out about 1/4” to clear. The OEM style plug adapters make it a plug and play swap but go ahead and buy a bag of door pins because you are guaranteed to brake a few removing the panels

If you don’t care about brand recognition, these are great. I installed them in my Yukon on a Recoil four channel amp and they sound good. I feel I got more bang for my buck than many other speakers. I’d recommend these to anyone on a tight budget.

So far, I love these things. Needed cost effective, good sounding replacement speakers for my commuter and these things have performed well. Full metal basket, large magnet, poly cone. Everything you used to only get in higher end speakers. I will most likely order another set for my truck. I'll update if things change.

Great sounding, they are 50rms per speaker not 100 like the marketing wank would have you believe. I lost a ring to the a pillar mount and customer service told me to kick rocks. Pretty lame to have such a great product only to be hobbled by a poorly managed company behind it. Hard pass. Next time, maybe ooh I don't know, sell customers spare parts?
