Sound Ordnance

Why install component speakers?

A component speaker system gives you the best possible performance from your car audio system. A system consists of separate woofers, tweeters, and crossovers, each designed to cover one specific range of frequencies. As separate components, the woofer can move freely to deliver more powerful performance, while the tweeter can be custom-mounted in a better spot up closer to your ears, revealing a whole new world of detail. Separate crossovers are far superior to the simple filters wired into full-range speakers, so the components work together for smoother, more focused sound.

Our take on the Sound Ordnance™ P-52C

by Buck Pomerantz

Win the battle for great sound. Sound Ordnance component speakers invade your car's listening space with clear sonic reproduction that'll mobilize your music. You'll enjoy the new life these rugged speakers bring to your system, all at a budget-friendly price.

The P-52C 5-1/4" component system sports tough polypropylene woofers that can handle just about any musical onslaught. Mount the separate 3/4" silk dome tweeters in a strategic spot, and they'll deploy all the musical details — you'll enjoy improved definition without harshness. Outboard 2-way crossovers direct the frequencies to the speakers for a balanced sonic attack. The black powder-finished stamped steel frames tell you that these Sound Ordnance components mean business, while a 3-year warranty gives you peace of mind for the long haul.

Highlights:

  • component speaker system includes two 5-1/4" woofers, 2 tweeters, 2 external crossovers
  • polypropylene woofer with foam surround
  • 3/4" silk dome tweeter
  • 2-way external crossover with 2-position tweeter level control (0, -3 dB)

sound ordnance P-52C

Written By JasonD, Fresno, CA on Monday, April 01, 2013
Installed in a 2006 Honda Odyssey
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
tweeters have incredible sound, but the 5 1/4 mids are a little light on sound. Good investment for the money though.
Pros:
price
Cons:
mids need a little better signal to noise ratio

Life after 14 years

Written By Hoot, Rutherfordton, NC on Thursday, March 07, 2013
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
I installed the speaker in a 99 LeSabre. The speakers were easy to install, just a little bit of ingenuity, to mount the tweeter. The old car now has great sound that makes the XM worth the cost.
Pros:
Perfect fit for the 5 1/4
Cons:
A little work to get the tweeters to mount

less than what i expected

Written By mijo, Detroit, MI on Sunday, July 08, 2012
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
the tweeters sound great but the speakers are not what i was hoping for. i have 2 12 inch type r's and they basically took over these speakers and you couldn't really hear anything. i was running these and a pair of kickers off of a sound ordnance 4 channel. when i was replacing the speakers with 5x7's, the terminals on one of the speakers completely broke off and the speaker was unusable. cheap, not worth the price in my opinion
Pros:
tweeters sound and look good
Cons:
cheaply made, weak mids, not very loud at all

Wonderful speakers

Written By SethL, Jeffersonville, IN on Friday, January 13, 2012
Installed in a 1994 Ford Ranger
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Im am very pleased with the quality and the sound of these speakers. I purchased them to replace the two stock 6x8s in the back and the infinity 6x8s I put in the front doors. These are superior in sound to either set of speakers. The bass is very adequate for mid bass woofers, when I first turned them on I had to check if my subwoofer was off because of the bass. It was off. The sound is fantastic. The highs are very crisp and clear and the mids are very well heard. the infinities I had would muffle with the bass, these do not. Even at high volume they stay crisp clear and sounding perfect. I would recommend these to any audiophile as they sound better than any other speakers Ive ever owned with the exception of the Alpine type R components I had in my old Honda. Im running an Alpine 305s headunit to power these speakers. the power is adequate and makes everything loud enough for me....and my neighbors.
Pros:
The sound clarity The highs The lows The price
Cons:
havent found any yet.

Very Happy

Written By Jeff, Sycamore, Alabama on Monday, December 13, 2010
Installed in a 2000 Mercury Sable LS
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Bought these for the front door of my sons vehicle. He is 17 and we have built a
nice system in his car using Sound Ordinance gear. For the $ - am very happy.
The tweeters are very clear and mids and very good. He also has 6x8 S/O in rear deck
and 2 -12 inch Rockford subs driven by S/O mono amp in S/O bass bunker. As he
says - he needs a big S/O sticker or Crutchfield to sponsor his car for all the
S/O gear we have used. We are very happy.

ok qualtiy

Written By Sandeep, Rohnert Park C.A. on Friday, September 24, 2010
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Ok bought these because I had faith in Crutchfields signature brand. I just got them installed and noticed that these components don't put out alot of bass at all. The highs are really good and the mids are just ok. I should of spent a little more and got something else. Its not really a big deal since these are just front and rear speakers. They work ok for that. I do have a kicker 4 channel amp thats running them..
