Car Speaker 2-way Pioneer TS-MR1640

The Pioneer TS-MR1640 is a 2-way car speaker designed for use in vehicles and on marine craft where increased resistance to water, corrosion and heat is required. It combines a 16 cm woofer and a 3 cm tweeter with a rated power of 30 W (160 W peak) to deliver balanced mid-bass and clear high frequencies. The speaker uses materials and construction intended to withstand salt water, humidity and prolonged sun exposure while maintaining consistent audio performance.

Advantages

Durable construction includes an IMPP composite cone for improved mid-bass response and resistance to moisture and heat, an elastomer surround that resists colour fading, and an AES (Acrylonitrile-Elastomer Styrene) glass-fibre reinforced basket protecting the magnetic circuit. The included pure white AES grille resists yellowing from sunlight and heat. Gold tinsel wire and gold-plated terminals minimise corrosion and potential signal interference.

Suitable for

• Car audio upgrades where water and heat resistance is desired
• Boats and other marine craft requiring corrosion-resistant speakers
• Outdoor or open-deck installations exposed to humidity and sunlight

How to use

Install the TS-MR1640 in a compatible car or marine speaker location following the vehicle or craft manufacturer’s mounting guidelines. Connect the speaker to an appropriate amplifier or head unit ensuring correct polarity and secure wiring to the gold-plated terminals. Adjust crossover and equalizer settings on your head unit or amplifier as needed to achieve balanced bass and clear highs. For marine installations, use sealed mounting locations and marine-grade wire where applicable.

Usage recommendations

For long-term performance in marine or outdoor environments, periodically inspect mounting seals and speaker grilles for debris or corrosion, and use corrosion-resistant wiring and connectors. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct high heat when possible to preserve grille and surround appearance.
