6.5 Inch Car Subwoofer
Buy 6.5 inch subwoofer for your car at a great price in the Carhifi online shop Masori – Your ultimate comparison
If you're looking to upgrade your car sound, you can't go past 6.5-inch subwoofers. Their compact size makes them ideal for many vehicle types like Audi, VW, BMW, Mercedes, SEAT, or Opel without overloading the interior. Whether you're a car audio beginner or an advanced car audio enthusiast: 6.5" subwoofers provide precise low-frequency reproduction and powerful punch. With suitable installation kits and optional plug-&-play solutions, these models can be integrated into doors, spare wheel wells, or rear side panels. This creates an impressive car sound without sacrificing much space.
Important Features and Technical Specifications
Anyone looking to buy a 6.5" subwoofer online should pay attention to the following parameters:
- RMS Power: Indicates how much continuous tone the subwoofer can handle (e.g., 150 watts to 500 watts).
- Impedance: Common values are 2 ohms or 4 ohms, crucial for choosing the right amplifier.
- Frequency Range: Typically 40 Hz to 200 Hz, depending on the model and cone design.
- Recommended Enclosure Volume: Often between 5 and 10 liters for sealed systems, slightly more for bass reflex.
- Mounting Depth: Ranges from about 60 mm to 90 mm, important for shallow mounting locations like under the seat.
Manufacturers such as Gladen, ETON, Audio System, DD Audio, Ground Zero, and Helix use different materials: paper cones for dynamic sound, aluminum for increased stability, or fiberglass-Kevlar blends for low-distortion bass. Construction details like vented pole plates and double magnet arrangements also increase efficiency.
Wide Selection for Individual Requirements
In the Carhifi online shop Masori you will find numerous 6.5" subwoofers that differ in power, installation depth, and sound characteristics. While some models are specially designed for integration into the doors of an Audi or VW, there are universal versions that are perfect for the spare wheel wells of BMW or Mercedes. Some subwoofers are built particularly slim to allow for quick and space-saving installation in side panels.
The following features are particularly popular:
- Ultra-flat designs for low mounting depths
- High thermal resistance thanks to 2" or even 2.5" large voice coils
- Reinforced surround for increased excursion capability
- Robust terminals for stable connections
Installation Tips and Accessories for 16.5cm Subwoofers in Cars
For a 16.5cm subwoofer to perform optimally, correct installation is crucial. With the right accessories, installation in smaller cars goes smoothly. Besides the subwoofer itself, it is advisable to consider the following aspects:
- Enclosure Choice: Sealed for tight, precise bass or bass reflex for deeper bass. Depending on your preferred music style, it’s worth calculating different enclosure tunings.
- Damping Material: Installed in doors and trunk, it reduces vibrations and improves low-frequency reproduction.
- Wiring: High-quality OFC cables (Oxygen-free Copper) with sufficient cross-section ensure a perfect signal.
- Crossovers: Carefully matched to the subwoofer to avoid sonic overlaps.
If you need help with installation, the Masori team offers professional Installation Service in Frankfurt Oder is available. There, all components are installed and optimally tuned according to your wishes. Additionally, our Expert Support or the integrated AI chatbot are happy to assist if you have questions about compatibility with your car.
Differences Compared to 8" Subwoofers and Why 6.5" Is the Compact Choice
If you're wondering whether to buy an 8" or 6.5" subwoofer, you'll quickly notice differences in space requirements and sound. 8" models have a larger cone area and can therefore produce more sound pressure at the same excursion. However, they are usually deeper and often require larger enclosures. A 6.5" subwoofer scores with:
- Low space requirement: ideal for tight vehicle cabins
- Fast transient response: perfect for rock tracks or electronic beats
- Flexible mounting: doors, footwells, trunk sides, or even under seats
Quick Overview 6.5" vs. 8" in a Table
| Subwoofer Size | Space Requirement | Typical Frequency Range | Possible RMS Power |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6.5 inch | Low | ~40–200 Hz | Up to approx. 500 watts RMS |
| 8 inch | Medium | ~35–180 Hz | Up to approx. 800 watts RMS |
Powerful Models and Their Specifications
Even in the 6.5" class, there are models that can deliver high output. Brands like B2 Audio or Rockford Fosgate rely on durable voice coils, strong ferrite magnets, and composite cones:
- B2 Audio Rampage R6.5: Rated up to 400 watts RMS, 2-ohm impedance, recommended for bass reflex enclosures with about 8 liters volume.
- Ground Zero GZRW 6XSPL: High-strength paper cone, dual 2-ohm voice coil, thermally optimized motor for SPL applications in a small format.
- Rockford Fosgate P16 Punch: 150 watts RMS, very shallow mounting depth of only 65 mm, tuned for compact sealed enclosures.
Some manufacturers also offer special “shallow mount” subwoofers with slimmer magnet structures. Especially for VW Golf, BMW 3 Series, or SEAT Ibiza, these allow discreet but efficient installation depths.
Flexible Applications for More Sound Variety
6.5" subwoofers can be integrated into car audio setups in many ways:
- Underseat Subwoofers: Especially popular for BMW model series, as there is often factory space for speakers under the front seats.
- Door Installation: In combination with door damping, some car audio fans prefer bass localization on the sides, creating a balanced sound.
- Spare Wheel Well: Ideal for Mercedes C-Class or Opel Insignia to retain trunk volume while still producing rich bass.
Recommended Amplifiers and Helpful Installation Tips
If you want to upgrade your car hi-fi system, you should carefully operate the subwoofer with a suitable monoblock or 2-channel amplifier. It is advisable to choose an amplifier with an RMS power slightly above that of the subwoofer to ensure a clean signal reserve. Those who prefer plug & play solutions will find compact amplifiers from Audio System or Helix in the range, which can be connected directly via ISO plug.
When connecting, keep in mind:
- Observe polarity: wrong polarity worsens bass.
- Optimize gain setting: don’t set too high to avoid distortion.
- Check crossover frequencies: a lowpass around 80 Hz to 100 Hz is often a good starting point.
- Ensure power supply: sufficient cable cross-section and stable ground connection prevent voltage drop.

Selection Criteria for Maximum Sound Potential of Your 6.5" Subwoofers
When choosing a specific 16.5cm subwoofer, the following factors play a role:
- Music Style: For hip-hop, a bass reflex system focusing on deep bass is often worthwhile. Rock and metal fans usually prefer sealed enclosures for faster transients.
- Vehicle Acoustics: In compact cars like Opel Corsa or SEAT Leon, the interior is smaller, so a 6.5" subwoofer can already deliver high sound pressure.
- Budget: From entry-level variants with ~100 watts RMS to high-end models with 400+ watts RMS, everything is available.
- Installation Location: Clarify in advance whether you want to place the sub in the door, spare wheel well, or under the seat.
If you consider all these points, you will quickly find a suitable model that enables powerful bass without major modifications. Car audio fans with more elaborate projects can even combine several 6.5" subwoofers to achieve an especially even frequency response.
Tips for Long-Term Listening Enjoyment
- Use of High-Quality Materials: Thick MDF or aluminum for the enclosure minimizes vibrations.
- Regular Checks: Test connections for corrosion or loose contacts, especially after winter.
- Effective Damping: Door and trunk damping increases bass content and reduces resonances.
With every replacement or upgrade, it’s worth briefly checking electrical compatibility. Thanks to the AI chatbot, you quickly have the most important information at hand.

Massive 4 inch voice coil and ton of power handling, great venting around voice coil, also this vega series has black voice coils. Price/value ratio is very high with vega series.
What a Minimonster, 18Liter ported box,tuned to 32hz and plays very loud and even good on lows. Even when i'm underpowering and only giving 350-400watts max. I really love this 6,5 monster, also the aluminium basket is very strong and solid and has great venting for the voice coil. Having rubber surround and carbon fiber cone just makes this even more indestructible

👌 superr
Super Subwoofer mit extrem tiefem Bass. Die Kabel sind dick und hochwertig verarbeitet. Es gibt nichts zu beanstanden. Absolut empfehlenswert.
Un sacré caisson de basses , j'ai eu un 46 cm killer 454 de l'époque année 90 , qui tapait vraiment bien , mais ce tube est bien plus fort et plus ample, toutes les basses passent sans problème, avec une télécommande à réglage multiples taramps eq bass , et un ampli Machete de masori , le couple est parfait, personnellement j'en ai deux tubes et ça donne énormément, avec l'ampli 2 x 530 en 4 ohms . Parfois le plus simple est bien meilleur et plus durable .
Hallo. Sehr freundlicher Kundenservice und schnelle Auftragsabwicklung. Der Lautsprecher ist brandneu und unbenutzt. Ich habe ihn vor einiger Zeit gekauft, aber erst kürzlich das Gehäuse fertiggestellt. Die Parameter entsprechen den Herstellerangaben: 42,5 Liter Nettovolumen, abgestimmt auf 32 Hz und 21 mm starkes Sperrholz. Ich hatte noch nie einen 10-Zoll-Lautsprecher und wusste nicht, was mich erwartet, aber das Ergebnis hat meine kühnsten Erwartungen übertroffen. Der Bass aus einem so kleinen Lautsprecher in einem so kleinen Gehäuse ist einfach unglaublich. Um den X-10 zu kaufen, habe ich meinen DD 712f in einem 70-Liter-Gehäuse verkauft, und der war ein Volltreffer. Der Sundown ist in jeder Hinsicht besser. Ich kann diesen Lautsprecher und den Händler, bei dem ich ihn gekauft habe, wärmstens empfehlen. Beste Grüße.
Est arrivé à la maison très rapidement 👌🏽
