Why Choose This Product?

The 6XL600-8 is designed for car audio builds where vocals and midrange presence need their own dedicated driver. Its 8-ohm impedance and 97 dB sensitivity are useful considerations when planning a multi-driver system and matching the speaker to an amplifier.

A satin-black aluminum basket, 34-ounce ferrite magnet, and non-pressed paper cone with cloth surround give you specific construction details to weigh when choosing a midrange loudspeaker. The stated frequency range extends from 60Hz to 12.5kHz.
