3.5, 4 and 5.25-Inch Car Speakers Compared: Dash and Door Upgrades from Kicker, Focal, JBL and Pioneer
Small speakers fill the dash, pillars and smaller doors, and factory ones in those spots often sound thin. Mounting depth matters most in a dash, so it is in the table where the listing gives it. Several listings note they run well on receiver power, such as the JBL Club 44F and 54F and the Pioneer TS-G1020S.
