About the MATCH MS42C
The MATCH for you
Flush-mount MS42C's tweeter for seamless integration into your vehicle.
The MATCH for you
If you know Audiotec Fischer's commitment to quality, then you probably have an idea of how exquisite their MATCH Series of speakers sound. The MS42C component system uses finely tuned, compact external crossover networks for a seamless frequency response. The crossovers assign the lows and midrange to the 4" woofers, which are made of a high-damping treated paper for nuanced sound and precise play. The 1" tweeters handle the high-frequency acrobatics with ease, thanks to dynamic neodymium magnets. And the tweeter's silk dome structure delivers that smooth sound you listen for in your highs.
German-crafted sound in almost any ride
Up to now, MATCH has focused its attention on direct-fit solutions for German-made vehicles. With the MS42C, they've applied their talents for masterful sound engineering to speakers designed to fit the factory openings of a wide variety of cars. The compact crossover housing, the shallow build of the woofers and the mounting versatility of the tweeters make this component system an easier fit than many upgrades in its class. Match the MS42C with a MATCH DSP for a serious improvement to the audio in your car.
Installation note: You'll need a pair of our universal backstraps to install the tweeters in the factory locations.

Product Research
Woofer
Woofers: Each woofer cone is made of high damping coated paper and has a rubber surround.
Magnet cover: The woofers are shipped with a rubber magnet cover to protect the speaker. If the cover is removed the depth changes slightly:
- Top Mount Depth: 1.724"
- Bottom Mount Depth: 1.918"
Removable Mounting Tabs: Most 4" factory speakers use four mounting screws, however, in some vehicles, only two are used. In these cases, you can bend the unnecessary mounting tabs until they break off. Care should be taken handling the speaker after any tabs are removed because the broken edges may be sharp.
Tweeter
Tweeter: The system uses 1" silk dome tweeters with neodymium motor structures. The tweeters can be flush mounted or surface mounted using the included brackets. Once mounted, the tweeters swivel so you can direct them toward the listening positions.
Tweeter Dimensions:
Frame Diameter | Cutout Diameter | Mounting Height | Mounting Depth | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Flush Mount | 2.108" | 1.83" | 0.41" | 0.816" |
Surface Mount | 1.825" | N/A | 1.065" | Screw Depth |
Crossover
Crossover: Each crossover has screw terminal inputs and outputs. The terminals will accept bare wire or spade connectors up to 1/4" wide.
Crossover Dimensions:
- Length: 3.275" (plus wiring)
- Height: 1.175"
- Width: 2.34"

Great improvement to my sound system!! Fits perfectly and if you are planning on discarding the old stock speakers you can cut the base plastic (where it screws in) and use it to install instead of modifiing the holes.
