About the Sony XS-XB160

Alexander H.

Three drivers for bigger sound

Sony's XS-XB160 6-1/2" speakers feature a 3-way design that extends the frequency range of your system from 50 to 24,000 Hz, giving your music satisfying fullness and texture. Built with woofer cones made from sensitive yet sturdy material, these speakers prove to be great power-handlers, specially equipped for enhancing bass response. A 1-7/16" balanced dome tweeter and a 1/4" piezo supertweeter take on the high frequencies with gusto, adding in true-to-life instrumental and vocal details.

So, put their high power rating to work with an outboard amp or a receiver like Sony's MEX-XB100BT CD receiver with substantial power output. Grilles are included.

Product highlights:

  • 6-1/2" 3-way car speakers (pair)
  • multi-layered Mica Reinforced Cellular fiber woofer
  • 1-7/16" PEI tweeter and 1/4" piezo supertweeter
  • power range: 2-60 watts RMS (350 watts peak power)
  • frequency response: 50-24,000 Hz
  • sensitivity: 90 dB
  • top-mount depth: 2-1/8"

  • warranty: 1 year
  • MFR # XS-XB160

What's in the box:

  • Two 3-way speakers
  • 2 Grilles

Product Research

Features

Woofer Cones: The XS-XB series speakers use MRC cones (Mica Reinforced Cellular glass fiber composite) to reduce weight and increase rigidity, delivering full bass response.

Rubber Surrounds: For a smooth response and improved durability, each woofer uses a rubber surround.

Tweeters: Each speaker features a 1-7/16" balanced dome PEI (Poly-Ether-Imide) tweeter. PEI is a polymer film that produces a wide soundstage for superior imaging. A 1/4" dome super tweeter further reinforces the high frequency output.

Size Classification Note: Sony describes these speakers as both 6-1/2 and 6-3/4. While they will fit standard 6-1/2 speaker openings, they do not use the industry standard bolt pattern (then again, neither do many car manufacturers at this point), so minor modification is required during installation; new screw holes will need to be drilled. Without drilling new screw holes, the speakers easily fit many standard 6-3/4 applications. Please refer to the Crutchfield Vehicle Selector to confirm fit in your vehicle.

Q
These are listed as "do not fit" on the rear deck of a 2015 Honda Civic LX, even though other 6.5" speakers do fit. Why? Is the depth of this speaker too tall? Will the speaker fit if I remove the car's factory grill cover? What needs to be done to make these speakers fit?
