Features
Composite polypropylene cone woofer
A durable polypropylene diaphragm delivers deep bass, while suppressed
peaks and dips in the mid and high frequencies ensure smooth integration with
the tweeter.
Foam rubber surround
The woofer surround material is made of foam rubber, manufactured with an
air-filled matrix structure that is light-weight and durable, providing
optimal damping characteristics for responsive bass notes.
Silk soft-dome tweeter
Based on technology developed for our premium speaker designs, the soft-
dome tweeter boasts a flat frequency response and wider dispersion. In
addition, its silk diaphragm contributes to natural and smooth sound with good
internal loss. The newly designed angle mounts and surface mount adaptors
assure flexible installation in various types of vehicles for the best
acoustic results.
Progressive height rate spider
The acoustically-optimized spider allows for higher power handling and
airflow, with a profile designed for more rapid and precise cushioning of the
speaker cone.
Phase plug with a Dynamic Air Diffuser
The resonance damping phase plug on the XS-162GS woofer helps realize the
ideal frequency response, right up to the crossover point with the matched
tweeters. The integrated Dynamic Air Diffuser ensures efficient air
circulation for smooth cone travel and cooling of the voice coil.
Easy installation
The smaller tweeter chassis and shallow woofer basket decrease physical
interference with factory grilles. The in-line crossover networks enable easy
wiring realizing installation in a wider variety of vehicles.
Environment in mind
Our products are not only designed to be stylish but also with the
environment in mind. For the individual packaging of the XS-162GS, 98% of the
cushions are made of paper materials, and compared to the prior model, printed
information has been carefully considered for simplicity and length to reduce
printer ink usage by approximately 90%, reflecting Sony’s commitment to
reducing environmental impact.
