Memphis VIV60CV2 6.5" 2-Way Component Speakers

The Memphis VIV60CV2 is a 6.5-inch, 2-way component speaker system for upgrading a vehicle’s front-stage sound. It separates the midbass drivers and tweeters so they can be placed in more effective locations than a typical coaxial speaker. The set is designed for listeners who want clearer imaging and more installation flexibility in a custom car-audio system.

Each system uses 6.5-inch woofers with a dual-layer fiberglass and foam composite cone, rubber surround, and cast-aluminum basket. The cone construction is intended to combine low moving mass with rigidity for controlled midbass reproduction. A precision-tuned surround supports a flat, natural response through the speaker’s operating range.

Separate silk-dome tweeters handle high frequencies, while the included external crossovers divide the signal at 4,800 Hz. The crossover network provides selectable woofer crossover slopes and tweeter-level adjustment. This makes it easier to tailor the system for different mounting positions and vehicle interiors.

The VIV60CV2 is rated for 80 watts RMS and 160 watts peak power per side at 2 ohms, with 90 dB sensitivity. Its stated frequency response is 65 Hz to 20 kHz, covering the midbass and treble ranges needed for a component front stage. A compatible amplifier or head-unit channel must be suitable for the system’s 2-ohm impedance.

This set can be wired in a conventional passive configuration or used in a bi-amplified arrangement through its crossover design. It is a practical choice for installations that can accommodate separate tweeter placement and crossover mounting. Grilles are included to help protect the woofers in exposed mounting locations.

Key Features

• 6.5-Inch Component System: Separate woofers and tweeters support more flexible speaker placement.
• Dual-Layer Composite Cone: Fiberglass and foam construction balances rigidity and low mass.
• Cast-Aluminum Basket: Provides a rigid foundation for the woofer assembly.
• Silk-Dome Tweeters: Separate 1.45-inch tweeters reproduce high-frequency detail.
• Adjustable External Crossovers: Offers tweeter adjustment and selectable woofer crossover slope.
• Bi-Amp Capability: Supports conventional passive or bi-amplified system wiring.

Design & Installation

The VIV60CV2 woofers use aluminum baskets, fiberglass-and-foam composite cones, aluminum bullet dust caps, and rubber surrounds. The separate tweeters use silk domes housed in aluminum. Protective grilles are included with the system.

Confirm available door clearance before installation, as the woofer mounting depth is 2.95 inches. For flush-mounted tweeters, the stated cutout is 1.75 inches with a 0.53-inch mounting depth; position tweeters high and angle them toward the listener when practical. Mount crossovers away from moisture and moving parts, and verify all clearances before drilling or cutting.
