FAQs
What is the mounting depth of the XTC5CX woofers?
The mounting depth for the In Phase XTC5CX woofers is 56.6mm.
Do these speakers come with grilles?
Yes, the system is designed with a cosmetically finished aesthetic, implying grilles or integrated protective covers are part of the design.
Can I install these without an amplifier?
While they can be connected directly to a head unit, using an external amplifier providing around 50W RMS per channel is recommended to achieve their full performance potential.
What type of material is the cone made from?
The cone is constructed from a GLASS FIBRE WOVEN material for enhanced rigidity and bass response.
How do I adjust the tweeter's direction?
The XTC5CX features a directional rotary tweeter that can be manually rotated and angled to suit your desired listening position.
What is the difference between peak and RMS power?
RMS power (50W) is the continuous power the speaker can handle, while Peak power (400W) is the maximum power it can withstand for short bursts. For reliable performance, it's best to match your amplifier's RMS output to the speaker's RMS rating.
Are speaker grilles included?
The product description highlights a 'cosmetically finished design' suggesting integrated or included grilles, but for specific details, refer to the product packaging or manual.
Troubleshooting
No sound from one or more speakers
Check all wiring connections from the amplifier to the crossover and from the crossover to the speakers. Ensure correct polarity (+/-) is maintained. Verify the amplifier channel is functioning and the speaker is selected.
Distorted audio at higher volumes
Reduce the volume. If distortion persists, check amplifier gain settings, as they may be set too high. Ensure the speaker is not overdriven for its RMS power rating.
Weak or muddy bass response
Verify woofer mounting depth and ensure a secure, airtight seal within the mounting location. Check that speaker wiring polarity is correct. Consider adding an amplifier if not already using one.
Harsh or tinny treble
Adjust the angle of the directional tweeter to optimize the listening position. Ensure crossover connections are secure. If using an amplifier with EQ, reduce the high-frequency settings.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Enhanced bass response due to the rigid glass fibre cone.
Clear and adjustable high frequencies with the directional tweeter.
Robust power handling for dynamic audio performance.
Designed for easy integration into most vehicle audio systems.
Visually appealing design that enhances interior aesthetics.
Cons
Mounting depth of 56.6mm may limit installation in certain vehicle locations.
Requires a separate amplifier for optimal performance and to reach peak power ratings.
Component system setup can be more complex than coaxial speakers.
Peak power handling is significantly higher than RMS, suggesting sustained high output might require careful system matching.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Plan Mounting Locations: Identify suitable locations for the woofers (typically in door panels) and tweeters (often on the dashboard or A-pillars). Note the 56.6mm mounting depth for the woofers.
Wiring: Connect the crossover (included) to your amplifier's output. Then, connect the woofer and tweeter to the corresponding outputs on the crossover.
Installation: Securely mount the woofers and tweeters using the provided fixings. Ensure all connections are firm and insulated.
Compatibility:
Vehicle Fitment: While designed for automotive use, always check specific vehicle door panel and dashboard configurations for compatibility before purchase. Adapters may be required for some models.
Amplification: Recommended for use with a 2-channel amplifier providing at least 50W RMS per channel for optimal performance. Can be used with higher wattage amplifiers, but ensure proper gain settings to avoid damage.
Care:
Cleaning: Gently wipe the speaker grilles and cones with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, as this can damage the cone material and surround.
Environment: Protect speakers from extreme temperatures and moisture. Ensure proper sealing if mounted in door panels to prevent water ingress.
