About the PowerBass OE-522

Alexander H.

Replacement speakers for your 2-ohm factory system

Some cars use low-impedance speakers to get a little more punch out of the factory radio. If you try to replace these speakers with standard 4-ohm aftermarket speakers, you'll notice a significant loss of volume — never a good thing. These specially designed PowerBass 2-ohm speakers solve that problem and make the most of your factory power. Install these OE-522 5-1/4" car speakers in a 2-ohm factory system, and you'll hear a big improvement in sound quality over your old factory speakers. Plus, their shallow mounting depth ensures they're a fit in a wide variety of vehicles too.

Step up to aftermarket quality

Say goodbye to flimsy factory woofers and whizzer cones. Sturdy yet sensitive polypropylene/carbon fiber woofers and butyl rubber surrounds deliver satisfying performance while enduring the extreme temperatures of life in your car doors. The aluminum alloy dome tweeters bring the high range to life with the crisp detail that's been missing from your factory sound, while the Wave Guide Lens guarantees even dispersion.

Note: These speakers won't work with aftermarket car stereos, unless you add a 2-ohm stable outboard amplifier to your system. PowerBass designed these speakers for use with a 2-ohm factory system. Identify your vehicle or call an advisor to confirm compatibility.
