Ready to get serious about sound?
When I think of classic car audio, Pioneer is one of the first names that comes to mind — that iconic logo, the solid build, the warm sound. Their Z-Series TS-Z65CH 6-1/2" component speaker system upholds the legend, making it the very best way to add smooth, open, Pioneer sound quality to your car.
Audiophile-grade design and materials
Why won't the same old speakers suffice if you take sound quality seriously? High-res audio files contain significantly more data than CDs, or cassettes before them. So, Pioneer built the Z-Series to harness that wealth of information and reproduce music that's incredibly close to the original performance. To ensure a premium audio experience, Pioneer uses a dual layer cone of Twaron and cellulose, making the woofer extremelty strong and stable for exceptional bass response with low coloration and distortion. An oversized magnet works tirelessly to deliver robust sound time and time again.
An oversized aluminum dome tweeter reproduces the most demanding passages in your music, while maintaining its accuracy in high-level playback. With a frequency range that pushes well beyond 40,000 Hz, you'll enjoy authentic reproduction of the finest recordings in your collection, with all the overtones and harmonics that make music more real. Pioneer allows you to adjust tweeter attenuation to ensure your highs are in perfect balance with the rest of your sound.
Premium external crossover networks bring out the best in each driver so that you experience a seamless performance. Equipped to handle power up to 110 watts RMS, you'll be well-served driving these speakers with an aftermarket amplifier. With these gold-trimmed Z-Series speakers installed in your doors, you can turn up your music with confidence and savor all the nuances you've been craving in the car.

Features
Size Classification Note: Some manufacturers, including Pioneer, call this size woofer a 6-1/2". Because it requires a larger cutout than a standard 6-1/2" speaker, Crutchfield has traditionally referred to this size as a 6-3/4". Please enter your vehicle information to confirm fit.
Tweeter Mounting: The tweeters can be flush mounted or mounted behind a factory grille using the included housings. Once installed in either housing the tweeters will pivot, so they can be angled to optimize imaging.
Tweeter Mounting Dimensions:
| Factory Mount | Flush Mount | |
|---|---|---|
| Mounting Height | 0" | 0.535" |
| Mounting Depth | 1.075" | 0.582" |

Incredibly detailed speakers. Be sure to feed them lots of power. The tweeters are incredibly vibrant, but are also shrill without tuning. I recommend using these with a DSP to reign the tweeters in.
