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. Sony Xplod GTX Series component speakers fill your vehicle with full-range sound, with sharp stereo imaging and accurate sound staging. Separate tweeters pinpoint the position of the instruments inside your acoustic space for performances that sound realistic and thrilling. The XS-GTX1620S system features 6-1/2" woofers, with cones made from a proprietary material that's lighter and stronger than polypropylene for better energy efficiency and power handling. These woofers also absorb unwanted frequencies, so the cones recover quickly from one note to be ready for the next one, increasing clarity in the vocal range. Synthetic rubber speaker surrounds resist stretching and maintain their elasticity for long life under heavy usage. The 1-1/2" laminated polyester soft dome tweeters produce clear high frequencies, bringing out your music's details and delivering a lively, open sound. The external 2-way crossovers distribute the lows and highs to the woofers and tweeters, creating a seamless blend of well-balanced sound, from the lowest drum thump to the highest cymbal crash.

Using high-tech fibers aligned under extreme pressure, Sony's exclusive H.O.P. is lighter & stronger than polypropylene. The result is greater linearity, smoother response, and better sound. The woofers can be mounted in a standard 6-1/2" or 6-3/4" opening, including GM/Chrysler 6-3/4G. Tweeters: The tweeters are 29/32" domes and can be flush mounted, surface mounted using an angled bracket, or surface mounted using a flat bracket. Tweeter Mounting Dimensions: Flush Mount Surface Mount Angle Mount Depth 0.748" N/A N/A Height 0.309" 1.247" 1.489" Cutout Diameter 1.679" N/A NA Frame Diameter 1.998" 1.531" 1.521" 2-Way Crossovers: Each crossover has high-pass and low-pass outputs with a 5 kHz crossover point. Jumpers inside the crossovers allow you to set the tweeter output level according to system requirements and personal preference. The jumpers may be set to -3dB or 0dB. The inputs and outputs are gold-plated screw terminals. There are two mounting holes in the base of each crossover.

While it took a little modification of the factory tweeter mounts--I broke two tiny pieces out and made the mounting screw hole bigger--to get them to fit. I also had to mount the crossovers under the armrest which meant that I had to cut the remaining part of the screws off so that I wouldn't impale my elbow. Some additional wiring was also required, since the factory speakers didn't have a crossover. Having said all of that, I adore the sound that I get out of them. The extra effort required to install them was well worth it for the sound that I get. It's a night-and-day difference: there's more bass, and I had to turn the treble adjustment way down because the Sony tweeters are so much more effective. I would highly recommend these to anyone who's had a little experience with installing car audio components. 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Specifics for my 2003 Honda CR-V: the tweeters fit in the factory mounts in the dash! Just a little glue to keep them there and BAM!-factory appearance in the front. As for the woofers-throw away the mounts that Crutchfield includes, instead just gut the factory speakers out of their frame and re-use the factory speaker frame. There was ample room for the crossovers in the front doors, though it was tricky routing the tweeter wire through the door's weatherproof wire tube. As for the rear doors, I mounted the tweeters in the small forward door pockets, and had a heck of a time finding a place for the crossovers...which eventually ended up on the interior of the door frame. Was very tricky with the rear doors. -Installation was very complicated to get as close to a factory look as possible, would have been much easier had I been willing to drill holes and put tweeters where they would be visible. Also, no speaker wire is included. 30+ ft for a complex installation was needed. I have these paired with the Eclipse AVN4430, the sound is like a concert hall, and these woofers passed my Subwoofer test track. Bass is superb, highs are too high if they're not reduced at the crossover, and the mids are accurate. As a hard-to-please audiophile, I am very pleased with these speakers and would recommend them to anyone looking for excellent, good, crisp accurate sound! 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?
