Composite polypropylene cone wooferA durable polypropylene diaphragm delivers deep bass, while suppressed peaks and dips in the mid and high frequencies ensure smooth integration with the tweeter. Foam rubber surroundThe woofer surround material is made of foam rubber, manufactured with an air-filled matrix structure that is light-weight and durable, providing optimal damping characteristics for responsive bass notes. Silk soft-dome tweeterBased on technology developed for our premium speaker designs, the soft-dome tweeter boasts a flat frequency response and wider dispersion. In addition, its silk diaphragm contributes to natural and smooth sound with good internal loss.The newly designed angle mounts and surface mount adaptors assure flexible installation in various types of vehicles for the best acoustic results. Progressive height rate spiderThe acoustically-optimized spider allows for higher power handling and airflow, with a profile designed for more rapid and precise cushioning of the speaker cone. Phase plug with a Dynamic Air DiffuserThe resonance damping phase plug on the XS-162GS woofer helps realize the ideal frequency response, right up to the crossover point with the matched tweeters. The integrated Dynamic Air Diffuser ensures efficient air circulation for smooth cone travel and cooling of the voice coil. Easy installationThe smaller tweeter chassis and shallow woofer basket decrease physical interference with factory grilles. The in-line crossover networks enable easy wiring realizing installation in a wider variety of vehicles. Environment in mindOur products are not only designed to be stylish but also with the environment in mind. For the individual packaging of the XS-162GS, 98% of the cushions are made of paper materials, and compared to the prior model, printed information has been carefully considered for simplicity and length to reduce printer ink usage by approximately 90%, reflecting Sony’s commitment to reducing environmental impact.
