Features
Tweeter Mounting: Flat and angled surface mount housings are included for tweeter mounting. In either case the tweeter is secured to the housing using the included M4 machine screws. The tweeters can also be flush mounted, but no bracket is included. Often the tweeters can be bolted to the factory brackets using the same M4 machine screws, or a custom bracket can be created using something like our Universal Back-Strap.
Tweeter Dimensions:
| Frame Width | Frame Length | Cutout Diameter | Mounting Height | Mounting Depth | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flush Mount | 2.418″ | 2.418″ | 2.098″ | 0.125″ | 0.875″ |
| Flat Surface Mount | 2.57″ | 2.57″ | N/A | 1.06″ | Screw Depth |
| Angled Surface Mount | 2.575″ | 2.875″ | N/A | 1.4″ | Screw Depth |
Crossovers: Each crossover has high-pass and low-pass outputs with a 5 kHz crossover point and 6 dB/octave slope. A switch inside each crossover allows you to set the tweeter output level according to your system requirements and personal preference; choose 0 dB (factory setting) or +3dB. (A 2mm hex key is required to remove the crossovers’ tops, not included.) The inputs and outputs are screw terminals; they will accommodate bare wire or spade connectors up to 0.315″ wide. There is a mounting hole in the base of each crossover.
Bi-amp Inputs: The 2-way crossovers have separate inputs for the woofer and tweeter; this lets you drive the system with dedicated power for the separate speaker elements, instead of sharing power. If the system is powered using only two amplifier channels, the woofer and tweeter inputs should be shorted together using the included jumpers.
Crossover Dimensions:
- Length: 4⅜”
- Width: 2⅝”
- Height: 1⅜”
Wiring: No wire is included with these speakers, so it will need to be ordered separately. Both the woofers and tweeters have male quick-slide terminals. The woofer terminals are 0.205″ wide (positive) and 0.110″ wide (negative), and both tweeter terminals are 0.110″ wide.
Mounting: The speakers can be easily mounted in a variety of 6¾” applications. Given the required cutout, they will also fit into the opening for a typical 6½” speaker (approximately 5″ diameter cutout) but the screw hole pattern is larger than a standard 6½”, so new holes would have to be drilled. Please enter your vehicle information to confirm fit.
Specification Note: Sony’s rated power spec for the XS-162ES is 60 watts (derived using IEC 60268-5 standards). In the manual they also list the CTA 2031 compliant RMS power as 90 watts. We’ve adopted the 90 watt RMS rating because CTA 2031 is the more common rating system.
