In addition, the integrated concealed crossover (ICC) eliminates the need to mount any black boxes. Providing accurate frequency reproduction and high volume output is a PEI dome tweeter located on each speaker. A rigid, lightweight, and high strength injection molded polypropylene cone helps minimize any cone flex, which improves overall sound quality while reducing potential distortion.

These speakers have 4-ohm impedance and frequency response is 90Hz to 22kHz. They require a mounting depth of 1.89".

Product features:

  • Rated at 35-watts RMS / 70-watts max
  • Flex Fit basket offers better fit
  • Integrated concealed crossover
  • PEI dome tweeter
  • Injection molded polypropylene cone
  • Butyl rubber surround
  • Impedance: 4 ohm
  • Frequency response: 90Hz to 22kHz
  • Mounting depth: 1.89"

2. JBL Stage 4x6" 2-Way Coaxial Speakers

These 2-way 4x6" speakers are rated at 70-watts RMS per pair and 210-watts max.

Each speaker is equipped with a zero-protrusion, 1/2" PEI tweeter that won't interfere with factory grilles. The speakers are rated at 50-watts RMS and 150-watts max.

These speakers have 4-ohm impedance and frequency response is 50Hz to 20kHz. Top-mount depth is 5/16", while bottom-mount depth is 1-11/16".

Product features:

  • Rated at 50-watts RMS / 150-watts max
  • Stamped-steel framework
  • Rigid polypropylene cone
  • Extended Voice Coil (EVC) technology
  • UV-treated poly-foam surround
  • Large woofer magnet
  • Zero-protrusion, 1/2" PEI tweeter with neodymium tweeter magnets
  • Impedance: 4 ohm
  • Frequency response: 50Hz to 20kHz
  • Top-mount depth: 5/16"
