Car speaker BLOW WH-1617 — 16.5 cm (6.5") coaxial car audio speaker

BLOW WH-1617 is a 16.5 cm (6.5") coaxial car speaker designed as a compact full-range solution for in-vehicle audio systems. The speaker combines a mid/bass driver with an integrated tweeter to reproduce vocals and treble with improved clarity and balanced frequency response. It is intended for factory speaker replacement or modest upgrades in doors and rear decks and fits common car mounting points for straightforward installation.

Advantages

The coaxial design integrates mid/bass and high-frequency drivers in a single unit, reducing installation complexity while maintaining coherent soundstage and phase alignment. The 16.5 cm diameter provides measurable improvement in midrange presence compared with smaller speakers, and the dedicated tweeter enhances high-frequency detail for clearer vocals and instruments. The speaker’s frame and mounting pattern are compatible with many standard car fittings, enabling quicker replacement without major modifications.

Suitable for

• Factory speaker replacement in front doors or rear decks
• Basic audio system upgrades for improved vocal clarity
• Vehicles with 6.5" (16.5 cm) speaker openings
• Users seeking a single-speaker solution without separate crossovers

Key specifications

• Speaker type: coaxial full-range (mid/bass driver with integrated tweeter)
• Nominal diameter: 16.5 cm (6.5")
• Application: car audio (doors, rear deck)
• Configuration: two-way coaxial
• Mounting: standard car speaker mounting pattern compatible with common vehicles

How to use

Identify the existing speaker location and confirm the 16.5 cm (6.5") mounting hole and depth. Disconnect the vehicle battery before beginning any electrical work. Remove the door panel or rear deck cover to access the factory speaker, disconnect wiring harness or terminals, and remove mounting screws. Fit the BLOW WH-1617 into the opening aligning mounting holes, connect the positive and negative speaker wires observing correct polarity, and secure the speaker with screws. Reinstall the panel and test sound at low volume first, then increase to normal listening levels to verify operation and seating.

Usage recommendations

For consistent performance, use appropriate speaker spacers or adapters when required to maintain correct depth and avoid contact with window mechanisms. Avoid driving the speaker at maximum volume for extended periods to prevent thermal or mechanical damage. If significant audio system improvements are desired, consider pairing with a dedicated amplifier and properly matched crossovers for optimized power handling and frequency division.
