About the Blaupunkt Blue Magic CX 170
More science than magic
More science than magic
Nothing up the sleeve here! Blaupunkt's Blue Magic CX 170 component speakers offer high-end construction and materials at an affordable price. The 6-3/4" woofer's rigid injected polypropylene (IPP) cone works with its rubber surround to deliver extended excursion for stronger mids and lows. You can install each adjustable 1" PEI tweeter up closer to your listening position, so you get the full effect of the vibrant highs in your music. With a little work, these components will give you a big jump in sound quality over your tired factory speakers.
The CX 170's design includes more ventilation to draw heat away from the voice coil on the woofer, so it'll handle handle higher power from an amp while still being efficient enough to work with a car stereo. The in-line crossovers ensure smooth imaging, so you enjoy the full depth of your music. You can flush- or surface-mount the tweeters, so you can create the best possible soundstage and keep the installation neat.
Installation note: You'll need a pair of our universal backstraps to install the tweeters in the factory locations.

Features
Woofer Magnet Cover: Each woofer has a rubber cover over the magnet. This cover is removable, useful when installing the speaker in tight mounting applications.
Note: The speaker measurements in "Features and Specs" were taken with the rubber cover removed; including the cover, the woofer's dimensions are:
- Mounting Depth: 2.405"
- Magnet Diameter: 3.38"
Tweeter Mounting Options: The tweeter can be flush mounted, surface mounted, or surface mounted at an angle using the included adapters. The tweeter comes mounted in the flush mount housing, the angled surface mount housing is included, and combining the top of the angled housing and the bottom of the flush housing creates the standard surface mount housing. The angled housing surface mounts the tweeter at approximately 45°. Once the tweeter is mounted in any of the housings, it can be angled to optimize imaging.

Good quality, easy install, I appreciated the multiple mounting options it made the job easier. Also the cutout available on the box was a nice surprise. Great sound stage, which was perfect for my installation in an RV. Would recommend
