About the Sony XS-XB160
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 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.
