Our tech experts advise
Sizes, adapter rings and harnesses vary by vehicle, year and trim, so we confirm what your car takes before ordering rather than guessing. Door treatment matters as much as the speaker. Installation is priced per vehicle, so get in touch with your make, model and year and we will confirm what it needs. See car audio installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will these speakers fit my car?
A: Most car speakers are standard sizes, but mounting depth and fitting rings vary by vehicle. Check the size in the Specification tab against your vehicle, or contact CEN with your registration and we will confirm fitment and any adapters or fitting kits you need.
Q: Do I need an amplifier to run these speakers?
A: Not always. Most speakers will run from a standard head unit, but a dedicated amplifier lets them perform at their best, particularly for component sets and higher power handling models. The RMS figure in the Specification tab is the guide to how much clean power they can use.
Q: What is the difference between coaxial and component speakers?
A: Coaxial speakers combine the tweeter and woofer in one unit for a simple like-for-like upgrade. Component sets separate the tweeter and woofer with a crossover for better imaging and detail, and suit installs where sound quality is the priority.
Q: Do these come as a pair?
A: Unless stated otherwise, car speakers are sold in pairs. Check the product title and What's Included tab, which lists exactly what is in the box.
Q: Can CEN fit these speakers for me?
A: Yes. CEN offers professional installation from our Nottingham premises. Contact us to book an installation slot or ask for a fitting quote.
Q: What is in the box with the PNW-65CS2?
A: Two 6.5 inch woofers, two 1-inch tweeters, two high-pass/low-pass crossover filters, mounting hardware, the manual and warranty.
Q: What size holes does the PNW-65CS2 need?
A: The woofer needs a 142mm cut-out with 60mm mounting depth. Each tweeter needs a 47mm cut-out and 16mm mounting depth.
Q: Can I make the PNW-65CS2 a 3-way system?
A: Yes. Add a pair of PNW-275 2.75-inch midrange speakers and one PNW-XN3 3-way passive crossover network, which is designed for the PNW-65CS2 with the PNW-275.
