Crunch CS-5768CX 250W 2-Way Coaxial 6x8 / 5x7 Speaker Pair - Clear

In this review of the Crunch CS-5768CX speakers, the bottom line is simple: these are budget-friendly coaxial ovals built to upgrade tired factory speakers with clearer highs and more power headroom. The pair handles 125 watts RMS (250 W peak) and uses a 1 in neo mylar soft dome tweeter plus alpha cellulose cones, so the most compelling reason to buy is the measurable step up in clarity and output for an economical replacement. Installation is straightforward and the construction focuses on durability rather than audiophile refinement.

Key Features

• Power handling: 125 watts RMS and 250 watts peak give sufficient headroom for common car head units and modest amps without immediate risk of overpowering.
• Two-way coaxial design: The 1 in tweeter and passive Butterworth crossover deliver clearer highs and a smooth handoff from midrange to treble at the 4 kHz crossover point.
• Build quality: Anti-resonant stamped steel baskets, textured ABS gaskets, and UV/moisture resistant surrounds improve durability in a vehicle environment.
• Voice coil and motor: Pure copper voice coils on a Kapton former with a ferrite magnet motor provide stable magnetic strength and heat dissipation for consistent performance.
• Ease of install: Shallow 2.13 in mounting depth and standard mounting diameters fit many factory locations and accept spade connectors or soldered wiring for a reliable connection.

Who It's For

These speakers are aimed at budget-conscious drivers who want a noticeable improvement over worn factory speakers without adding aftermarket crossovers or separate components. They suit daily drivers, commuters, and anyone swapping in a simple two-way replacement where space is limited, since the set covers both 6x8 and 5x7 oval fits.

Those seeking audiophile-level detail, extremely low distortion at high volumes, or component-level staging should look elsewhere; some users report mixed sound quality and occasional distortion when pushed hard, so conservative power pairing and tuning work best.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Affordable upgrade that often outperforms stock speakers in clarity and output.
• Durable construction with UV/moisture resistant surrounds and anti-resonant baskets for reduced distortion.
• Clear highs from the 1 in neo mylar soft dome tweeter and a well-implemented passive crossover.

Cons

• Sound quality is mixed for some listeners and can show distortion at high volumes or with poor power matching.
• Not a high-end component system, so imaging and extreme low-frequency extension are limited.

Our Verdict

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these fit common factory 6x8 or 5x7 openings?
Yes, the speakers are designed for standard 6x8 and 5x7 oval mounting diameters and have a 2.13 in mounting depth to accommodate many factory locations.

Can I drive these directly from a factory head unit?
Yes, they will work with a factory head unit, but pairing them with a modest aftermarket amp can reduce distortion and unlock better headroom.

What kind of connectors are recommended?
Use spade connectors or solder the braided tinsel leads for the most reliable electrical connection and minimal resistance.
