Product Research
Features
Woofer: The polypropylene woofer cone and butyl rubber surround are resistant to the temperature extremes and humidity often found in the automotive environment, adding to the speaker's reliability and longevity.
Size Classification Note: Some manufacturers, including Focal, 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.
Phase Plug: The bullet-shaped phase plug in the center of the woofer ensures a smooth, flat off-axis frequency response by preventing the higher frequency sound waves emanating from one side of the cone from interfering with sound waves from the other side of the cone.
Tweeter Mounting: The tweeters can be flush mounted, surface mounted, or surface mounted at an angle (approximately 30°) using the included adapters. Once installed in any of the housings, the tweeter will pivot approximately 15° in any direction.
Note: Although the tweeters are shipped in their flush mount housings, no flush mount hardware is included. A method of holding the housings in place must be fabricated.
Tweeter Dimensions:
Flush Mount | Surface Mount | Angled Surface Mount | |
---|---|---|---|
Mounting Height | 0.175" | 0.77" | 1.62" |
Depth | 0.705" | screw depth | screw depth |
Frame Diameter | 2.095" | 1.77" | 1.78" x 1.82" |
Cutout Diameter | 1.77" | N/A | N/A |
Crossover: The input and output wires are attached to the crossover. The 18" input wires are not terminated (tinned bare wire). Both the woofer and tweeter output wires are 10" long and terminated with quick slides to easily attach to the drivers. The crossover slope is 12 dB/octave.
Crossover Dimensions:
- Width: 2⅞" (3⅛" including wires)
- Height: ⅞"
- Depth: 2"

Big upgrade to factory speakers even off the head unit. I can finally hear all of my music! Easy enough to install, but anytime I hit a snag I called Crutchfield and they were quick to answer and quick to help!
