The mid-woofer

Thanks to the Emphaser "CRYSTALGRAIN” compound diaphragm, the mid-bass driver plays with great detail and naturalness. The increased rigidity, low resonance, improved damping properties, and wide frequency response result in precise and detailed sound reproduction.

The powerful ferrite magnet with a diameter of 100 mm and a height of 18 mm is embedded in two precisely milled 5 mm thick pole plates. This ensures that the strong magnetic force is reliably directed to the 25 mm voice coil and the supplied energy is efficiently converted into sound energy.

The crossover with its high-quality components ensures an optimally tuned sound so that no valuable detail of the music is lost. The woofer cable crossover is equipped with custom-fit connectors, significantly simplifying installation.

The tweeter

The fabric dome of the tweeter offers a variety of advantages, including low distortion, even dispersion, and a natural, warm sound character. These features help reproduce the music in all its clarity and brilliance. The crossover integrated into the cable ensures optimal sound, just like with the woofer. Connection is made via the vehicle's original connector.

Frequently Asked Questions about EM-VWFX180


What are the main features of the EM-VWFX180 VW Speaker Set?

The EM-VWFX180 VW Speaker Set from Emphaser is an 18 cm 2-way component system specifically designed for Volkswagen, Seat, and Skoda models. It features vehicle-specific connections that ensure easy installation. The optimized frequency response provides true Hi-Fi sound, while the woofer with a "CRYSTALGRAIN" compound membrane delivers detailed sound performance. A 25 mm tweeter with a textile dome offers maximum brilliance. Durable materials such as the Connex centering spider and rubber surround, along with high-quality crossovers, complete the features. The crossovers include a 6 dB/6 dB filtering at 4,500 Hz for optimal sound behavior.

How does the 'CRYSTALGRAIN' compound membrane improve sound quality?

The 'CRYSTALGRAIN' compound membrane of the woofer improves sound quality through its increased stiffness, which leads to low resonances and improved damping properties. This enables a wide frequency response that ensures precise and detailed sound reproduction. Especially when you like to listen to music loudly, the woofer's ability to efficiently convert the supplied energy into sound energy becomes evident. This is enhanced by the powerful ferrite magnet, which reliably directs high magnetic force to the 25 mm voice coil with a diameter of 100 mm and a height of 18 mm.

What advantages does the 25 mm tweeter with a textile dome offer?

The 25 mm tweeter with a textile dome offers several advantages, including low distortion and uniform radiation, which create a natural and warm sound character. These features ensure that the music is reproduced in all its clarity and brilliance. The integrated crossover in the cable ensures optimal sound. Furthermore, the connection is made via the original plug of the vehicle, which facilitates installation and ensures perfect integration into the existing vehicle electronics.

How do the crossovers in the EM-VWFX180 system affect the sound?

The crossovers in the EM-VWFX180 Speaker Set significantly influence the sound through separate filtering for high and low frequency branches. They use high-quality components and a 6 dB/6 dB filtering at 4,500 Hz to optimally tune the frequency response. This ensures that no valuable detail of the music is lost and crystal-clear audio quality is achieved. The crossovers are designed to maintain and enhance sound performance through precise control of frequency distribution between the speakers.

Which car models is the EM-VWFX180 Speaker Set compatible with?

The EM-VWFX180 Speaker Set is compatible with selected models from Volkswagen, Seat, and Skoda. This includes Volkswagen models such as the Atlas (2020 – present), Beetle (2012 – 2019), Passat B8 (2014 – present), Tiguan (2007 – 2018), and Tiguan II (2016 – present), as well as the Touran (2015 – present). For Skoda, the set fits the Octavia II (2004 – 2013), Superb II (2008 – 2015), and Yeti (2018 – present), while for Seat, it can be installed in the front doors of the Alhambra II (2010 – 2020). Vehicle-specific connections facilitate installation.

How does the ferrite magnet of the woofer affect performance?

The ferrite magnet of the woofer in the EM-VWFX180 Speaker Set plays a crucial role in performance. With a diameter of 100 mm and a height of 18 mm, it provides high magnetic force that is efficiently directed to the 25 mm voice coil. This design ensures that the supplied energy is optimally converted into sound energy, leading to an improvement in bass response and low-frequency precision. Especially with music pieces featuring pronounced bass, the efficiency and audio quality of the woofer are noticeably enhanced.

What installation tips apply to the EM-VWFX180 Speaker Set?

When installing the EM-VWFX180 Speaker Set, it is essential to consider the specific requirements for Volkswagen, Seat, and Skoda models. The vehicle-specific connections and custom plugs significantly ease the installation process. The low-frequency crossover and connection via the original vehicle plug allow for quick and secure mounting. It is important to ensure that the speaker units are correctly placed in the designated installation cavities of the front doors to guarantee maximum sound quality and minimize potential vibration noises.

Why are the Connex centering spider and rubber surround important?

The Connex centering spider and the rubber surround play a crucial role in the longevity and performance of the subwoofer in the EM-VWFX180 system. The centering spider ensures the correct alignment of the voice coil in the magnetic field, which significantly affects the precision of bass reproduction. At the same time, the rubber surround provides an elastic suspension for the diaphragm, preventing distortions caused by diaphragm movements. Both components contribute to the robustness of the speaker system and ensure consistently high sound quality even under intense use.

What influence does the aluminum voice coil have on performance?

The aluminum voice coil in the EM-VWFX180 system is mounted on a heat-resistant carrier, which has a significant impact on the performance of the Speaker Set. The choice of material ensures that high temperatures, which can occur under heavy load, are efficiently dissipated. This allows for a higher load capacity of the speaker and prevents distortions that could arise from thermal effects. The voice coil contributes to improving dynamics and precision by ensuring linear movement of the diaphragm even at high levels.

What does the optimized frequency response mean for the sound image?

The optimized frequency response in the EM-VWFX180 Speaker Set means that the reproduction is uniform across the entire audible frequency range, creating a natural and authentic sound image. This is particularly achieved through the combination of the 'CRYSTALGRAIN' compound diaphragm technology and the textile dome of the tweeter. The precise filtering by the crossovers at 4,500 Hz also contributes to the clear and brilliant reproduction of all nuances and subtleties of the music, thereby optimally realizing the Hi-Fi sound.
