Pioneer TS-A1673R 6.5-Inch, 220-Watt 3-Way Speakers
Pioneer's TS-A1673R 6-1/2-inch three-ways now feature upgraded power handling of 220 watts max. (35 watts nominal). This year, they also feature something they've inherited from the D-Series speakers--a basalt cone. Pioneer continues to set an example with next-generation technology for improved sound: the tweeter, magnets, surrounds, the voice coil wire, the basket and more are all high-performance components that make up a great speaker.Pioneer's A-Series SpeakersPioneer A-series speakers outperform factory speakers on nearly every level. Packing a powerful punch, A-Series speakers are equipped with up to three independent tweeters with reinforced woofers, so every beat is heard and felt. Featuring a bigger, better cone than most OEM speakers, the A-series boasts serious output and booming bass. Extra-sensitive tweeters play at higher frequencies and are capable of handling stronger audio signals, resulting in vocals that are crisp and clear, even when you crank the volume.TS-A1673R FeaturesCarbon Graphite IMPP Interlaced Aramid/Basalt Fiber ConeOne of Pioneer's major speaker breakthroughs was IMPP (Injection-Molded Polypropylene), which allowed cones to be lighter and more rigid. Pioneer then added long stands of Aramid fibers into the mix, for extra strength. Now, they've gone even further with the TS-A1673Rs, adding basalt and carbon graphite interlaced with long aramid fibers to provide strength and rigidity that powerful bass sound requires. High-density compressed internal architecture is resilient, stacks up against high power well and transfers sound quickly. The result is full-bodied, rich sound with midrange depth that conventional IMPP cones cannot match, and the durability to stand up to the high volume levels, humidity, and temperature extremes that thrash other speakers.Large Diaphragm TweeterThe newly developed tweeter disperses sound more widely with superior control, providing listeners with the best sound under all conditions, regardless of listening position or car. And the 1" mounting depth achieves more flexible installation.Heat Resistant Polyester-Imide Resin Voice Coil WireCreating mechanical energy is hot work, especially at high volume levels. And as we all know, heat can cause distortion. That's why the TS-A1673R uses a heat-resistant polyester-imide resin voice coil wire. It allows the voice coil to handle more heat, improving input power handling as well as reliability. So go ahead. Turn it up.Power HandlingThe TS-A1673R now handles a full 220 watts max. power (35 watts nominal). Along with enhanced power handling, you still get the same high performance that all the TS-A's deliver.A 6-1/2-inch three-way speaker with 220 watts power handling.Click to enlarge.TS-A1673R SpecsWoofer Cone Material:Carbon Graphite IMPP Interlaced Aramid/Basalt FiberSurround:Light Weight Elastic PolymerVoice Coil Bobbin:Glass-ImideVoice Coil Wire:CopperDamper:AramidMidrange:1-5/8" Paper ConeTweeter:3/8" PET Film DomeCustom-Fit Basket:GM-Fit Basket for Improved Fit on GM Oversized 6-1/2" ApplicationsBasket Design:Shallow Basket for Wider Installation CoverageSpeaker Grille:IncludedWatts MAX.
