Memphis VIV603CV2 6.5" 3-Way Component Speaker System

The Memphis VIV603CV2 is a 3-way component speaker system designed for vehicle owners seeking a more detailed front-stage upgrade than a conventional coaxial speaker can provide. It combines separate 6.5-inch woofers, 3.5-inch drivers, silk-dome tweeters, and external crossovers to distribute bass, midrange, and high frequencies to dedicated drivers. This layout supports flexible speaker placement for vehicles with suitable factory locations or custom installation plans.

The set includes two 6.5-inch drivers rated at 80 watts RMS each, with a 65 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response and 90 dB sensitivity. Its 2-ohm design is intended for compatible car-audio amplification or source equipment. The 3.5-inch drivers extend the system's dedicated midrange coverage and are rated at 50 watts RMS each.

Memphis uses dual-layer fiberglass-and-foam composite cones, aluminum baskets, aluminum bullet dust caps, and rubber surrounds in the woofer and 3.5-inch driver design. The tuned surround is intended to support a flatter response through the drivers' operating range. Silk-dome tweeters housed in aluminum provide the high-frequency portion of the system.

External crossover networks divide the incoming signal among the woofer, 3.5-inch driver, and tweeter sections. The system uses a 3-way crossover arrangement, and the crossovers provide bi-amp capability for installers building a more involved amplified system. Tweeter-level adjustment allows the high-frequency output to be tailored to speaker placement and listener preference.

This component set is suited to custom front-stage installations where separate driver locations and crossover mounting space are available. It can be used as part of a system with an aftermarket amplifier, appropriate wiring, and a compatible 2-ohm-capable setup. Grilles are included to help finish exposed speaker locations.

Key Features

• Three-Way Component Layout: Separate 6.5-inch, 3.5-inch, and tweeter drivers divide the audio spectrum.
• 2-Ohm Design: Supports use with compatible low-impedance car-audio amplification.
• Composite Driver Cones: Fiberglass-and-foam composite cones combine low mass with rigidity.
• Silk-Dome Tweeters: Aluminum-housed silk domes handle high-frequency reproduction.
• External Crossovers: 3-way networks route frequencies to the appropriate drivers.
• Bi-Amp Capability: Crossover design supports more advanced amplified system wiring.

Design & Installation

The VIV603CV2 uses cast aluminum baskets for its larger drivers, aluminum bullet dust caps, rubber surrounds, and aluminum tweeter housings. Its 6.5-inch and 3.5-inch drivers use fiberglass-and-foam composite cones. Included grilles provide protection and a finished appearance where the speakers are mounted visibly.

Confirm available mounting depth, cutout clearance, and wiring paths before installation, especially around window tracks, motors, and factory harnesses. The 6.5-inch drivers require 2.95 inches of mounting depth, while the 3.5-inch drivers require 1.64 inches. Mount crossover networks away from moisture and moving parts, and use the supplied installation hardware and template only after test-fitting each location.
