Memphis PRX69S 6x9" Shallow 2-Way Car Speakers

The Memphis PRX69S is a pair of shallow-mount 6x9-inch, 2-way car speakers designed for vehicles with limited speaker-depth clearance. Its slim basket and low-profile tweeter help address common fitment challenges in factory door and rear-deck locations. The speakers use a 2-ohm nominal impedance and are intended for vehicle audio systems that support that load.

These speakers are a practical option for replacing factory 6x9-inch speakers where a conventional full-depth aftermarket speaker may not fit. Memphis specifically identifies shallow factory locations common in Dodge, Chrysler, Toyota, and similar vehicles as intended applications. Vehicle-specific fitment should still be verified before installation.

The PRX69S is rated for 60 watts RMS and 120 watts peak power handling, with an 88 dB sensitivity rating. Its published frequency response is 60 Hz to 20 kHz, covering bass, midrange, and treble content for a full-range speaker location. A polypropylene woofer cone with rubber surround is paired with a PEI dome tweeter.

A key part of the shallow design is the updated low-profile tweeter, which sits below the woofer surround. This arrangement is intended to provide additional clearance beneath many factory speaker grilles. The speaker also uses a built-in 6 dB Mylar crossover to direct high-frequency content to the tweeter.

The PRX69S can be used as a factory-speaker replacement or as part of a larger amplified audio upgrade. Its 2-ohm impedance may allow compatible factory or aftermarket equipment to deliver more power than with a 4-ohm speaker, but amplifier and radio compatibility should be confirmed. Protective grilles and installation hardware are included for custom installations where factory grilles are not retained.

Key Features

• Shallow-Mount Basket: Uses a 2.29-inch mounting depth for restricted locations.
• Low-Profile Tweeter: Sits below the surround for improved grille clearance.
• 2-Ohm Impedance: Designed for systems compatible with 2-ohm speaker loads.
• 60W RMS Handling: Supports moderate-power factory or aftermarket system upgrades.
• 2-Way Coaxial Design: Combines a woofer and center-mounted dome tweeter.
• Included Grilles: Provides protection and a finished appearance for custom installs.

Design & Installation

The PRX69S uses a polypropylene woofer cone, rubber surround, PEI dome tweeter, and an 11-ounce magnet. Its low-profile tweeter is integrated into the speaker assembly rather than requiring a separate tweeter mount. Included grilles use black steel mesh with plastic frames.

Confirm the available mounting depth, cutout dimensions, mounting-hole pattern, and clearance behind the factory grille before purchasing. The speaker has a 2.29-inch published mounting depth, while top- and bottom-mount measurements may differ according to the mounting method. Verify that the factory radio or amplifier is stable with 2-ohm speakers, and use the included leads, screws, speed clips, and template as appropriate for the installation.
