Description

Product Overview

The SoundQubed HDS Series 6.5" coaxial speakers give you a two-way speaker upgrade for 6.5" door locations, with a built-in 1" Mylar dome tweeter. Their paper cone, rubber surround, and 50W RMS power handling make them a practical starting point for a budget-conscious audio system.

Sold as a pair with grills, the HDS combines the woofer and tweeter in each speaker. Use the recommended 90 Hz high-pass crossover when setting up your system.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Two-way coaxial design: The integrated tweeter reproduces high frequencies without a separate tweeter installation.
  • Paper cone and rubber surround: These materials provide the speaker’s stated warm, natural midrange character.
  • 50W RMS power handling: The 4-ohm speakers are rated for 50W RMS and 150W maximum power.
  • 90 Hz recommended high-pass crossover: Set an amplifier’s built-in crossover to this frequency as recommended for the driver.
  • Pair with grills included: You receive two speakers and two grills for a finished installation.
