if you like Budget Car Audio gear you've
most likely heard of the company recoil
audio seen their items listed on Amazon
I've shown amplifiers before but today
we're going to look at a 6 and 1/2 in
component set yes that's listed on their
website for
52.99 but believe it or not on Amazon is
even cheaper under $50 at the time of
the video
$46.99 check Link in the video
description for the price at the time
that you're watching this but wow this
was too cheap I had to get some of these
in and see what they're all about here's
the box you can see recoil audio Echo
series we open it up and we have the
manual which covers several different
models of the echo series Co axles and
these are component speakers which
include a separate Tweeter we'll show
that here shortly there you go boxed up
on nice and neat
everything wrapped up individually let's
have our AI friend Arthur explain about
these 1-in tweeters R 65 features 1-in
High Fidelity silk Dome tweeters that
deliver incredibly Rich Crystal Clear
highs the mount allows unparalleled
flexibility whether you flush or surface
mount your tweeters the Tweeter voice
coil is designed for greater heat
dissipation and higher power handling
resulting in smooth fatigue-free High
every aspect of recoil speakers is of
the highest audio file grade options are
included for surface or flush mounting
in addition to angled surface mounting
of the Tweeter it's all very nice
additionally we have these external
crossovers which provide separate
signals crossed over for the Tweeter as
well as the midwoofer and you can see
here the different coils capacitors and
resistors are inside overall these seem
much nicer than the $50 that you're
paying for the entire component system
for the mids the tweeters as well as
these crossovers now it does say in the
manual about having two different
settings for the tweeters a reference
and a minus 2db however once we PR it
open and look there's actually three
different settings there's a minus two a
zero and a plus two now what's
interesting with passive crossovers is
you're not actually adding anything so
that's not really plus two that's really
0er minus 2 2 and minus 4 but anyway
keeping on the one on the far right the
plus two is going to give you the most
Tweeter output and you can adjust it to
a different level if you need to cut
back next up let's have our friend
Arthur the AI genius tell us more about
the features the polypropylene cones
enable faster mid-range response the
Nitro badine rubber surrounds provide
durability and deeper mid-base impact
surround cone coupling utilizes a high
temp adhesive which assure the cone and
Surround do not separate in high power
usage once again the $50 price here
really does not display what you're
getting the quality looks really good
from what I can see it is a stamp steel
basket but it does have but rubber
surround it does have a polypropylene
cone and again a soft Dome Tweeter which
is nice about a 2.7 in mounting depth
which with the ring should be okay for
mounting this midwoofer in most 6 and
1/2 in openings so what we're going to
do here in the video is we're going to
mount this in some bookshelf speakers
I'm going to go ahead and mount the
midwoofer and then we're going to mount
the Tweeter as well and then we're going
to hook it up to an amplifier of course
using the crossover that came with the
system that way we can give it a full
test but literally I just take one of
the screws out here and we're going to
mount this surface mount Tweeter option
and the Tweeter that's built into the
bookshelf is not going to be utilized so
it's literally just the two that come
with the setup and we're going to use a
nice car audio amplifier to power this
up and we're going to see how it sounds
so I mean that's the best way to find
out these were broken in for a couple
days before I did this sound demo so
let's fire it up and give it a
[Music]
listen
you're giving me Wind and
Rain you're some kind of
butterly baby you me
midn whip up my
appe don't leave
[Music]
me
[Music]
oh
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
nah
[Music]
so knowing the price of these $50 and
under component system system I really
wasn't expecting a lot but they actually
pretty much surprised me here with the
sound demo they sounded pretty good now
let's talk pros and cons things I like
things I think that could be better
obviously incredible value for these at
under 50 bucks good sound quality didn't
have really any complaints I do like the
softone Tweeter to me the softone
tweeters just sound better the Tweeter
Mount options you have three different
options it does have a rubber surround
on the mid and relatively shallow
mounting means it should fit in most 6
and inch openings things to consider
there are no grills for the mids also no
included wiring or connectors also
they're kind of lacking base output but
you could kind of expect that so you
really need a subwoofer with these and
are they too cheap if you think about
what they cost at 50 bucks what are they
wholesale these like $20 wholesale it's
like I just doesn't even compute in my
head how they can really make speakers
this cheap mid-range tweeters as well as
crossover all that together for this
inexpensive it just blows my mind but
overall I thought they sounded okay they
definitely sounded better than almost
any factory system I've ever heard and
at the price I you what can you complain
about I don't know I thought they were
pretty good so if you like to hear these
check a link in the video description
head over to Amazon and get you some
till next time Big D I'm out of
here
just to clarify this video was in no way
sponsored by recoil audio using the AI
voice I literally just read some of the
scripts they had on their product pages
but my mind was still blown with $50
component speakers sounding okay Big D
I'm out
