Audio Code AXC ZR05 5.25" Bullet Midrange Loudspeaker

Product Overview

The Audio Code AXC ZR05 is a 5.25-inch bullet midrange loudspeaker for multi-way car audio systems. It combines 150W RMS power handling, 93dB sensitivity, and an integrated bullet phase plug for focused midrange reproduction.

Use it as a dedicated midrange alongside a subwoofer and tweeter, with an active or passive crossover. Each order contains one speaker.

Key Features & Benefits

• Integrated bullet phase plug: Helps control midrange dispersion for on-axis clarity and focus.
• 93dB sensitivity: Its 1W/1m rating supports strong output with the amplifier power used in a multi-driver system.
• 200Hz–16kHz response: Extends into the upper frequencies before handing off to a tweeter.
• 150W RMS / 300W peak: Provides the stated power-handling ratings for system planning.
• 5.25-inch nominal diameter: Offers a smaller format for locations where a 6.5-inch driver will not fit; confirm your mounting space before ordering.
• 4-ohm nominal impedance: Gives you a defined load to match with an amplifier channel.

Technical Specifications

The recommended active-system starting points are a 200–250Hz high-pass filter and a 6–8kHz low-pass filter. The source recommends a dedicated amplifier channel rated 75–150W RMS at 4 ohms.

Why Choose This Product?

The AXC ZR05 is a dedicated midrange driver, not a coaxial speaker. Its 5.25-inch format may suit a custom door pod or another location with limited space, while its response reaches higher than the stated 12kHz limit of the ZRO 6 and 7kHz limit of the ZRO6-S.

Compared with the ZRO 6, the ZR05 has a smaller nominal diameter and wider upper-frequency extension. The ZRO 6 is rated at 250W RMS, 96dB sensitivity, and 100Hz–12kHz response; choose according to your installation space and system requirements.

Installation & Compatibility Notes

Plan to use the ZR05 with an active or passive crossover, plus a tweeter for upper frequencies and a subwoofer for low frequencies. A 4-channel amplifier or DSP amplifier with active crossover capability is recommended for an active multi-way setup. Check your mounting location and amplifier load and power ratings before installation.

The speaker is sold individually, so order two if you need a stereo pair.
