The Pioneer TS-G170C is a 17cm 2-way component speaker system designed for car owners looking to significantly upgrade their audio experience affordably. It offers impactful bass and clear highs with up to 300 Watts of peak power, making it ideal for enhancing your daily commute or road trips. A potential consideration is that these are component speakers, requiring separate installation of woofers and tweeters, which may demand slightly more installation effort than coaxial systems.

The TS-G170C speakers are designed for standard 17cm (approx. 6.5-inch) openings and feature a multi-bolt pattern for easier installation in many vehicles. However, it's always recommended to check your car's specific speaker dimensions and mounting depth before purchasing.
While these speakers can work with a factory car stereo, they will perform best and reach their full potential (45W RMS, 300W Peak) when connected to an aftermarket amplifier. An amplifier will provide cleaner power and allow for louder playback without distortion.
A component speaker system, like the TS-G170C, has separate woofer and tweeter drivers, allowing for more precise sound staging. A coaxial speaker has the tweeter mounted in front of the woofer on the same axis.
IMPP stands for Injection Molded Polypropylene. It's a cone material known for its rigidity and durability, contributing to excellent midbass response and reliable performance.
The TS-G170C typically includes crossover components or direct wiring for the tweeter. You'll connect the speaker wire from your source (head unit or amplifier) to the woofer, and then a separate wire or integrated crossover will route the appropriate frequencies to the tweeter. Refer to the included manual for specific wiring diagrams.
The frequency response range for the Pioneer TS-G170C is 36 Hz to 26,000 Hz, indicating their ability to reproduce deep bass notes and crisp high frequencies.
The Pioneer TS-G170C speakers are sold as a pair, containing two 17cm separate 2-way speakers.
Check all wiring connections, ensuring they are secure and correctly connected to the head unit or amplifier. Verify that the head unit or amplifier is powered on and set to a functional source.
Reduce the volume. If distortion persists, ensure the speakers are not overdriven by the amplifier. Check for proper power and grounding to the amplifier, or consider an amplifier with higher wattage if exceeding the speaker's RMS rating.
Confirm correct wiring polarity (+/-). Ensure the woofer cone is not obstructed. Consider that the 17cm size has inherent limitations compared to larger woofers or subwoofers; an external subwoofer may be needed for deeper bass.
Adjust the tweeter's placement for optimal listening angle. Some head units or amplifiers may offer tweeter level adjustment; check your audio system's settings.
Setup: The TS-G170C is a 2-way component system, meaning the woofer and tweeter are separate units. Installation involves mounting the 17cm woofers into the primary speaker locations and strategically placing the 30mm tweeters, often in the dash or A-pillars, using the provided mounting hardware or adapters. Ensure correct polarity is observed during wiring to avoid phase issues. The multi-bolt pattern on the woofer basket aids in fitting various factory mounting holes.
Compatibility: These speakers are designed to fit most standard 17cm (approximately 6.5-inch) speaker openings. The impedance is 4 Ohms, which is standard for most car audio systems. Always verify your vehicle's speaker size and mounting depth (4.97 cm) before purchase.
Care: To maintain optimal performance, keep the speaker cones clean and free from debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for dusting. Avoid exposing the speakers to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures. Regular checks of wiring connections will ensure consistent audio output.
