Features
Woofer Materials: Each woofer cone is made of Injection-Molded Polypropylene. This process of cone molding assures a uniform cone thickness for superior linearity and clarity. It is also lighter weight and more rigid for decreased distortion and improved bass response.
Mylar Tweeters: Each speaker has a 1/2" Mylar dome tweeter for clean, accurate highs.
Magnet cover: The B 5X are shipped with a rubber magnet cover to protect the speaker. If the cover is removed the depth changes slightly:
- Top Mount Depth: 1.867"
- Bottom Mount Depth: 2.099"

these speakers were a huge improvement over my 70$ a pair kenwood 6 1/4" speakers, yes even though those were a inch or so larger, these have a much better and more sensitive response. I don't believe I will put another brand of speaker in my car again.
