Extended Product Information

FAQs

Do these speakers come with grilles?

The product description does not specify if grilles are included. It is recommended to check with the retailer or VIBE Audio documentation for confirmation.

What is the RMS power rating?

The VIBE Audio Slick 6" x 9" Triaxial speaker has an RMS power handling of 160W.

Can I power these speakers with my factory car stereo?

Yes, you can power them with a factory stereo due to their high efficiency, but they will perform significantly better and reach higher volumes when connected to an aftermarket amplifier.

What is the impedance of these speakers?

The product information provided does not specify the impedance. It is typically 4 ohms for most car audio speakers, but this should be confirmed with the manufacturer.

Do I need an amplifier for these speakers?

An amplifier is not strictly required to use these speakers, as they are high-efficiency. However, to achieve their full performance potential, especially regarding volume and dynamic range, an amplifier is highly recommended.

What are the dimensions of the speaker?

These are 6" x 9" speakers, referring to their nominal size. Please check mounting depth and cutout dimensions for specific installation planning.

What is included in the box?

The included component listed is a manual.

Troubleshooting

No sound from the speaker

Check all wiring connections for security and correct polarity (+/-). Ensure the head unit or amplifier is functioning and outputting audio. Verify speaker is not bypassed in the head unit settings.

Distorted sound at higher volumes

The amplifier may be clipping, or the speaker may be receiving more power than it can handle. Reduce amplifier gain or power output. Ensure speaker is properly mounted and sealed.

Weak bass response

Verify speaker wiring polarity is correct. Ensure a proper seal between the speaker and mounting surface to prevent air leaks. Check head unit or amplifier EQ settings.

High frequencies sound harsh or tinny

Adjust the tweeter level if your head unit or amplifier has this control. Consider your listening preferences; the wideband tweeter is designed for detail. Ensure speaker is not damaged.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Delivers clear and detailed sound across a wide frequency range.
  • High power handling capacity allows for impressive volume and dynamics.
  • Efficient design can improve sound quality even with a factory head unit.
  • The 6x9 size is compatible with a vast number of vehicle applications.
  • Provides a noticeable upgrade over most stock car speakers.

Cons

  • Requires adequate power to reach its full potential; may underperform if not properly amplified.
  • Installation might require modifications to existing speaker mounts in some vehicles.
  • The wideband tweeter's high-frequency output may be too pronounced for some listeners without proper EQ.
  • Included manual is the only component; amplifier and wiring sold separately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Consult Vehicle Manual: Verify that 6" x 9" speakers are compatible with your vehicle's existing speaker locations. Check mounting depths and wiring harnesses.
  2. Wiring: Connect speaker wires from your head unit or amplifier to the speaker terminals. Ensure correct polarity (+/-) to avoid phase issues.
  3. Mounting: Securely mount the speaker in the designated location, using appropriate screws or mounting hardware. Ensure a tight seal to prevent air leaks.

Compatibility:

  • Vehicle Fitment: Primarily designed for vehicles with 6" x 9" speaker openings. Adapter plates may be required for other sizes.
  • Amplifier: While efficient, these speakers perform best when powered by an amplifier rated for their RMS power handling (160W RMS).

Care:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the speaker cone and grille with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the speaker materials.
  • Environment: Protect speakers from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures.
