Memphis MS69MV 6x9" Convertible Midwoofer

The Memphis MS69MV is a 6x9-inch convertible midwoofer designed for vehicle audio systems that need stronger midrange and mid-bass coverage than a basic factory speaker can provide. It is rated for 75 watts RMS and 150 watts peak power, making it suitable for use with compatible aftermarket amplification. Its 4-ohm design and 91 dB sensitivity support integration into many conventional car-audio speaker systems.

This model is intended for listeners building a staged component system rather than a conventional full-range 6x9 coaxial setup. The MS69MV uses a center-mounted black phase plug in place of an integrated tweeter. That arrangement is designed to reduce distortion and support high-frequency response from the midwoofer.

A carbon fiber cone provides a lightweight, rigid diaphragm for controlled output, while the rubber surround supports cone movement and long-term durability. The published frequency response is 55 Hz to 7 kHz, placing this driver in a role focused on bass, mid-bass, and midrange reproduction. A compatible tweeter is needed to complete the upper-frequency portion of a component system.

External passive crossovers are part of the MS69MV system architecture, allowing the signal to be divided between the woofer and optional tweeter configuration. The crossover uses a 12 dB slope and is supported by Memphis Audio's MClip mounting solution. This helps keep the crossover mounted near the rear of the woofer rather than loose inside a door or panel.

The MS69MV can be used as the foundation for a two-way setup with a compatible Memphis MSA1V 1-inch tweeter. It can also be part of a three-way system when paired with the MSA1V tweeter and MS25 2.5-inch midrange. Its 3-inch mounting depth and 5.906 by 8.74-inch mounting-template dimensions should be checked against the available space in the intended vehicle location.

Key Features

• 6x9-Inch Midwoofer: Adds dedicated mid-bass and midrange coverage to a component audio system.
• 75W RMS Power: Handles up to 75 watts RMS per speaker with compatible amplification.
• Carbon Fiber Cone: Uses a lightweight, rigid cone material for controlled speaker operation.
• Black Phase Plug: Helps reduce distortion and support upper-frequency response from the driver.
• External 12 dB Crossover: Divides frequencies for use in a compatible component-system configuration.
• MClip Mounting System: Provides a removable mounting method for the external crossover.

Design & Installation

The MS69MV combines a carbon fiber cone, center-mounted black phase plug, rubber surround, and 13-ounce magnet. A protective grille is listed for this model. Its design is intended for a convertible component-system layout, with external crossover hardware instead of an integrated coaxial tweeter.

Confirm that the selected location has at least 3 inches of mounting depth and accommodates the 5.906 by 8.74-inch mounting template before installation. Connect the amplifier output to the crossover input, then connect the crossover woofer output to the woofer terminals while observing polarity. For a two-way system, add a compatible MSA1V tweeter; adding an MS25 midrange creates a three-way system path.
