About the Phoenix Gold ZX65C
From our tech experts at CEN
The Phoenix Gold ZX65C is a pair of 6.5 inch (165mm) midbass woofers, not coaxial speakers, supplied with grilles and 4000 Hz low-pass cable filters. Each handles 60w RMS and 120w maximum at 4 ohm, with 89 dB sensitivity and a 60 Hz to 4.5 kHz range. The polypropylene cone has a rubber surround.
Who it suits
Drivers building their own component set, or replacing the woofers of a ZX system. Pair them with the ZX1TC tweeter for a 2-way, as sold together in the ZX65CS, or add the ZX35C midrange for a 3-way.
Our tech experts advise
Use the supplied low-pass filters so the woofers hand over cleanly to the tweeter. Check the 140mm mounting diameter and 64mm depth against the door. 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: 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: Is the Phoenix Gold ZX65C a full range speaker?
A: No. It is a 6.5 inch midbass driver with a 60Hz – 4500Hz frequency response, designed to be used with a tweeter in a 2-way system or with a midrange and tweeter in a 3-way system.
Q: What filter comes with the ZX65C?
A: It comes with a 6dB/Oct cable filter set for a 4000Hz low-pass, to match the ZX1TC tweeter in a 2-way setup.
Q: What is the mounting depth of the ZX65C?
A: The ZX65C needs 64mm mounting depth and a 140mm mounting diameter, with a 165mm outer diameter.
