CERWIN VEGA V465C 6.5-Inch 400 Watts Max/100Watts RMS Power Handling 2-Way Component Speaker Set

Great sounding speakers! The 6.5” drivers deliver decent bass and clear sound and can go quite loud. The 94dB sensitivity rating allows my Tacoma’s stock headunit to power them and still have them sound good. They sound much better, have more low and punchy bass, and go louder than the stock speakers did, even though two of these are replacing stock 6X9s using the Metra adapters. I purchased two sets of the speakers (two for rear doors and two for front) and had no issues with install at all. Very happy with purchase, and happy I didn’t get coaxial type speakers, as I don’t like too many tweeters, and they rob what very little power you have to work with. I only used the 6.5” woofers from this kit, and did not use the tweeters and crossovers. In my 2018 Tacoma, the front tweeters take care of the highs (especially with Subaru/Kicker tweeter upgrade) and these Cerwin-Vegas handle the rest just fine. I plan on getting a 8” Vega series sub and ported box to finish off the system, as I’m not after anything crazy loud.

Woah. Okay these are some little gems. I had quite a few brands, just retired some Alpines components. These are crystal clear, warm yet accurate. The tweeters are a little harsh but if you have a DSP you can eq them down a little. Once you do, arguably some of the best speakers for the price point. Honestly, with how they sound, I’ll be buying them for my next build.

3rd set bought from a different authorized dealer in May of 2026: Another new truck required new speakers! Same results as the previous sets, frickin' loud! Love them! Too bad Cerwin Vega "updated" these, trying to find the old versions is getting harder to do. Get them while they still can! 2nd set bought in June of 2024: Traded in my old truck, so new speakers were needed for the new one. Bought my 2nd set and had them installed in my new to me F150 front doors along with the coaxial version in the back doors, they sound great! They’re being powered by a 700 watt 4 channel Sony amp. Still in the break in period, so they will only sound better as they go. Very happy with them! Great sounding speakers! Replaced a set of Memphis component speakers in my F150 with these as the Memphis speakers fell apart. These are noticeably better quality in both the woofer and tweeter construction and sound quality. The volume on them at 15 on my head unit is louder, clearer, and fuller than than the Memphis speakers on volume level 25. Why I did not go with Cerwin Vega speakers the first time, I do not know (had CVs in my previous vehicle and never had a problem with them). Just make sure to run an amp with them. I imagine once they break in, they will sound even better. Highly recommended!

Update after 2 years the surrounds are deteriorating dont waste your money. Just not made to last anymore .

At first was SORELY disappointed, but I gave them a week to break and they sound insanely clean!! I can't believe I'm saying this but they are better sounding than my Rockford Fosgate T1 6.5. At 180$. They need break in because the spiders are so rigid. That means for 2 pairs I paid ALMOST for 1 pair or Rockfords. I also love the woven tinsel leads and rugged construction. Just like my Rockfords, however! This have a better midbass ;) just the way I like it. Less power draw on my competition Rockford Fosgate t-600 gave me extra power to Rockford amp! Do yourself a favor and buy an ultra low distortion amp like Rockford power series or Orion hcca. Give them 1-2 weeks and let them rock your world! They do need power!! Pros High efficiency Woven tinsel leads Deep bass Rich midbass Articulate titanium tweets Cons Thin wire may slightly increase final impedance. Check your final ohm load if u care.
