Audio Code AXC NEO 6 6.5" Neodymium Bullet Midrange Loudspeaker

Product Overview

Build a clear, high-output midrange into your car audio system with the Audio Code AXC NEO 6 6.5-inch neodymium bullet midrange loudspeaker. Its 225W RMS power handling, 96dB sensitivity, neodymium magnet motor, and integrated bullet phase plug make it the flagship midrange driver in the Audio Code lineup.

Use it as the midrange driver in an active three-way system, with a dedicated tweeter for upper frequencies and a subwoofer for low frequencies. Each order includes one speaker; order two for a stereo pair.

Key Features & Benefits

• Neodymium magnet motor: A strong magnetic field in a lighter motor supports output efficiency, transient response, and detail retrieval.
• Integrated bullet phase plug: Controls midrange dispersion to support on-axis clarity and reduce off-axis coloration.
• 96dB sensitivity: The highest sensitivity rating in the Audio Code midrange lineup helps produce strong output from modest amplifier power.
• 225W RMS / 450W peak: Gives you the listed power-handling ratings for planning your amplifier channel.
• 100Hz–16kHz frequency response: Covers upper bass presence through lower treble before the handoff to a tweeter.
• 4-ohm impedance: Provides a clear load rating to check when matching the speaker to an amplifier.

Technical Specifications

Why Choose This Product?

The AXC NEO 6 combines a neodymium motor, bullet phase plug, and the lineup’s highest sensitivity rating in one dedicated midrange driver. Its 16kHz upper response extends beyond the 12kHz limit listed for the Audio Code AXC ZRO 6. The ZRO 6 is the ferrite option and has a slightly higher RMS rating at 250W, compared with 225W RMS for the NEO 6.

Installation & Compatibility Notes

The AXC NEO 6 is a dedicated midrange driver and must be used with an active or passive crossover. For an active three-way setup, the source recommends a high-pass filter at 100–150Hz and a low-pass filter at 6–8kHz. These settings protect the driver from bass frequencies and hand off upper frequencies to a tweeter.

Use a dedicated amplifier channel rated 100–225W RMS at 4 ohms. A DSP amplifier with active crossover capability is recommended for signal processing; the JBL DSP4086 is given as an example. The 6.5-inch nominal diameter fits standard OEM door locations, but check the vehicle’s opening and installation requirements before choosing a speaker.
