Component Speakers
Component speakers reproduce audio more accurately than standard coaxial speakers and give you greater control over how your system sounds. If you're looking for a coaxial alternative in the same size, Pioneer also offer the Pioneer TS-G170C 17cm 2-way component speakers.
IMPP™ Cone
Pioneer's Injection Moulded Polypropylene Composite (IMPP™) cone is rigid and lightweight. This reduces distortion and improves overall clarity.
Multi-Fit Adaptor
A multi-fit installation adaptor is included, improving installation flexibility and enhancing damping and acoustic performance.
Open & Smooth™
Pioneer's OPEN & SMOOTH™ sound concept creates a seamless transition between the midrange driver and tweeter, producing a natural, expansive soundstage.

About the Pioneer TS-A1601C
From our tech experts at CEN
A 6.5 inch component set, with separate tweeters that can be mounted higher where you will hear them, rated at 80w RMS.
Who it suits
Drivers who want a proper front stage and are happy for tweeters to be mounted separately, which usually means a professional fit.
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. Treating the door skin 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 cut-out and mounting depth does the TS-A1601C need?
A: The woofer needs a 144 mm cut-out hole and 59 mm of mounting depth. The tweeter needs 16 mm of mounting depth.
Q: Are grilles included with the TS-A1601C?
A: No. Speaker grilles are not included. A multi-fit installation adaptor is included.
Q: What size tweeter does the TS-A1601C use?
A: It uses a 20 mm polyetherimide (PEI) tweeter with a neodymium magnet.
