ZP65 6.5″ Midrange Speaker
Phoenix Gold's ZP65 is a purpose-built pro audio 6.5 inch midrange speaker, developed with three goals: higher efficiency, greater volume and improved sound quality. The result is a speaker with increased SPL — louder than its predecessor — but with a smoother high-end response and a deeper, warmer low end. It delivers the sound quality of a component speaker with the volume of a pro audio unit, alongside increased power handling.
The cone is made from composite material with an aluminium diaphragm, handling up to 350W max and 175W RMS. If you're building out a full system, the ZP65 pairs well with the Phoenix Gold Z10AB 10 inch active subwoofer enclosure for extended low-end output.
Key Features
- Smooth, loud playback
- High sensitivity
- Increased power handling over previous model
- Balanced high and low-frequency integration

About the Phoenix Gold ZP65
From our tech experts at CEN
The Phoenix Gold ZP65 is a pair of 6.5 inch pro audio midrange speakers, not coaxials, so there is no tweeter built in. Each handles 175w RMS and 350w maximum at 4 ohm, with 92 dB sensitivity and a 90 Hz to 12 kHz range. A composite cone with aluminium diaphragm aims to combine pro audio volume with a smoother sound.
Who it suits
Drivers building a loud front stage who want pro audio efficiency without going straight to the largest drivers. Pair them with a pro tweeter such as the ZPRO36. For more power, the ZPX654 handles 200w RMS.
Our tech experts advise
High-pass them at or above 90 Hz and let a subwoofer handle the bass. The mounting diameter is 144.5mm and the depth 71mm, so check the door or pod before ordering. Installation is priced per vehicle, so get in touch with your make, model and year.

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: Are the Phoenix Gold ZP65 speakers sold as a pair?
A: Yes. The ZP65 is sold as a pair of 6.5 inch midrange speakers, each weighing 1.3kg.
Q: What mounting depth do the ZP65 speakers need?
A: The ZP65 needs a mounting depth of 71mm (2.8 inches) and a mounting diameter of 144.5mm (5.7 inches).
Q: How much power can the ZP65 handle?
A: Each ZP65 is rated at 175W RMS and 350W max, with a sensitivity of 92dB (1W/1m) and a 4 ohm impedance.
