Sundown Audio SA-6.5CS v.3 6.5" 2-Way Component Car Speakers - 125W RMS (Pair) - Silk Dome Tweeters, Carbon Fiber Cone Midrange, Cast Aluminum Frame, 24dB Crossover, Adjustable Level for Smooth Audio

Sundown Audio SA-6.5CS v.3 6.5" 2-Way Component Car Audio Speakers + Tweeters: Upholding a Legacy of Bass & Sound QualityWhen Sundown Audio set out to design the "SA" series component set, they knew it had to be something truly special; something that would proudly uphold the legendary reputation of the SA series subwoofer line. At the same time, the price had to remain remarkably reasonable, ensuring that almost anyone could afford this leap into premium car audio. The SA-6.5CS v.3 is the culmination of this vision, offering a high-quality, powerful, and impeccably engineered system that delivers a smooth, impactful, and detailed listening experience. An advanced premium audio system with the SA Series is no longer a distant dream, but a simple upgrade away from reality.𝐏𝐎𝐖𝐄𝐑𝐅𝐔𝐋 𝐀𝐔𝐃𝐈𝐎 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄: The SA-6.5CS v.3 component system is built for serious sound, delivering a robust 125 Watts RMS per side. While the midrange's continuous power rating is conservatively derived from an 8-hour pink noise test down to 20 Hz (rated at 60 watts), the full system is designed to handle significantly more, with most customers confidently using 100+ watt RMS amplifiers on these sets. This ensures dynamic, impactful sound, with crisp highs, rich mids, and deep, resonant bass that will genuinely impress.𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐔𝐌 𝐁𝐔𝐈𝐋𝐃 & 𝐒𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐆𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐘: The SA component set begins with its custom-designed midrange driver, featuring a high-quality cast aluminum basket as its starting point – a significant upgrade from the cheaper stamped steel frames often found in this category. The carbon fiber cone is a carefully selected blend of paper and wool fibers, meticulously designed to damp any unwanted resonances, ensuring exceptional clarity. The dust cap is a soft poly whose size, shape, and material were all chosen to create the least amount of breakup and distortion possible. A very compliant rubber surround helps to tame any remaining edge resonances within the cone, contributing to a truly smooth and natural sound. With any midrange, the cone, surround, and dust cap are CRITICAL to the sound, and with the SA set, every detail was chosen for performance over "audio jewelry."𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐒𝐄 𝐂𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐒𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐋: The included crossover, while simple-looking at first glance, does its job perfectly. It is a 12 dB network centered at 3800 Hz, built with high-quality air core inductors and Mylar capacitors for superior signal integrity. This intelligent crossover also offers exceptional adjustability:Ability to change the LPF (Low Pass Filter) on the mid from a 12dB slope, to 6dB, or even a bypassed slope for full-range operation.Adjustable tweeter levels from 0, to -3, to -6 dB for precise sound staging and tonal balance.𝐀𝐃𝐕𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐋 𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 & 𝐄𝐗𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍: The midrange motor was FEA optimized in-house to significantly increase linear excursion, featuring a full 6mm one-way linear excursion thanks to a carefully designed motor and extended pole piece. Thermal performance was thoroughly considered in the design, with the SA mid featuring a vented magnetic gap and a vented voice coil collar. This meticulous engineering allows for extended, high-volume use without compromise, ensuring consistent, distortion-free sound even during prolonged heavy play.𝐔𝐒𝐄𝐑-𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐋𝐘 𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍: Designed for straightforward integration into your vehicle, these 6.5" components feature a manageable 2.87" mounting depth and a 5.63" cutout. The SA series tweeter was developed to match the smooth sound of the midrange, so Sundown went with a silk dome. This tweeter performs as good or better than many fancier looking counterparts, adhering to the Sundown mentality of not spending money where it doesn't increase performance. Reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, confirming that anyone after a smooth sounding set will be incredibly pleased with the SA component line.
