Product Research

Features

Woofer Size Classification: Some manufacturers, including MB Quart, call this size woofer a 6½. Because it requires a larger cutout than a standard 6½ speaker, Crutchfield has traditionally referred to this size woofer as a 6¾. Please enter your vehicle information to confirm fit.

Terminals: The woofers have both spade and screw terminals.

Grilles/Flush-mount Rings: If you want to use the included woofer grilles you also have to use the flush-mount rings, making this a custom installation. With the flush-mount rings in place the woofer size is similar to an 8" speaker, having the dimensions below.

  • Depth: 2.76" (2.284" if using the spacer ring)
  • Height: 0.243" (0.67" including grille)
  • Cutout Diameter: 7.076"
  • Frame Diameter: 7.76"

Tweeter Housings: Each tweeter is built into a cast aluminum housing to dissipate heat and has a phase lens designed to improve off-axis performance.

Tweeter Mounting Options: The tweeters can be flush, flush angle, or surface mounted, with these dimensions:

  Flush Mount Surface Mount Flush Angle Mount
Mounting Depth 0.6" screw depth 0.6"
Mounting Height 0.48" 1.0" 0.6"
Cutout Diameter 1.85" N/A 1.9"
Frame Diameter 2.12" 2.14" 2.1"

Tweeter Protection: A light bulb is incorporated into each crossover to protect the tweeters from overloading. The bulb illuminates automatically to absorb excess energy, allowing continuous operation of the tweeter even at extreme volumes.

Crossover: The 2-way, 24 dB/octave outboard crossovers have screw terminal inputs and outputs (0.375" wide). Three jumpers are installed along the terminal strip; the two on the input terminals are removed when bi-amping the components and the third is adjusted to select the tweeter output level. Tweeter output options are 0 dB (flat), -1.5 dB, -3 dB, and -4.5 dB.

Crossover Mounting: There are mounting holes in the base of each crossover, allowing them to be mounted on any flat surface.

Crossover Dimensions:

  • Width: 7.825"
  • Height: 2.375"
  • Depth: 4.725"
