Audison AV X5 Voce 5" 2-Way Coaxial Speakers 150W

Audison AV X5 Voce 5.25" 2-Way Coaxial Car Speakers 150W

A 5.25" 2-way coaxial car speaker from the Audison Voce series, the AV X5 features a 1" Tetolon dome neodymium tweeter with orientable high-frequency tuning, CCAW voice coil, Triple Wave surround, cotton-fibre pressed paper cone with Light Damping treatment, Radial Venting System, and an on-wire dedicated crossover network, rated at 75W continuous and 150W peak at 4 ohms with 90dB sensitivity.

Product Overview

The Audison AV X5 is a 5.25" 2-way coaxial speaker from the Voce series, designed for high-fidelity car audio installations. The aerodynamic basket with open-air spoke design significantly reduces back-wave reflections for cleaner midrange reproduction. The exclusive Triple Wave surround profile provides full cone linearity and reliable long-term performance. The cotton-fibre pressed paper cone with Light Damping treatment delivers natural, accurate midrange character consistent with the Voce series' musical approach.

The 1" Tetolon dome neodymium tweeter is orientable for controlled high-frequency dispersion tuned to the specific listening position within the vehicle. The CCAW (Copper Clad Aluminium Wire) voice coil is extremely lightweight and compact, providing high efficiency and optimal thermal dissipation. The Radial Venting System ensures high thermal capability, extended power handling, and long-term reliability under sustained use. An on-wire dedicated crossover network at 3.5kHz with 6/12dB per octave slopes is integrated into the speaker assembly. Frequency response covers 60Hz to 22kHz at 90dB/SPL sensitivity. Mounting diameter is 115mm with a total depth of 71mm and mounting depth of 65mm.

Features & Benefits

Aerodynamic Open-Air Basket Design: The aerodynamic basket spoke profile and open-air design reduce back-wave reflections from the basket structure, providing cleaner midrange output and improved cone excursion dynamics.

Triple Wave Surround for Full Cone Linearity: The exclusive Triple Wave surround profile maintains full cone linearity across the operating excursion range, ensuring accurate and distortion-free midrange reproduction under all drive levels.

1" Tetolon Dome Neodymium Tweeter with Orientable High-Frequency Tuning: The 1" Tetolon dome tweeter uses a neodymium motor for high efficiency and extended high-frequency response to 22kHz. The orientable mounting allows the tweeter axis to be aimed toward the primary listening position within the vehicle for optimal high-frequency imaging and dispersion control.

CCAW Voice Coil for High Efficiency and Thermal Dissipation: The Copper Clad Aluminium Wire voice coil is significantly lighter than a comparable copper coil, improving speaker efficiency and reducing the thermal mass that must be managed during sustained power handling. Optimal thermal dissipation extends the reliability and longevity of the driver under high-power use.

Radial Venting System: The Radial Venting System provides airflow management around the voice coil and motor assembly, enhancing thermal capability and extending power handling and reliability under sustained use.

Cotton-Fibre Pressed Paper Cone with Light Damping Treatment: The cotton-fibre pressed paper cone with Light Damping treatment delivers accurate and natural midrange character, balancing the controlled damping required for low coloration with the dynamic responsiveness expected from a high-fidelity car audio speaker.

On-Wire Dedicated Crossover Network at 3.5kHz: The on-wire crossover network provides a 3.5kHz crossover point with 6dB per octave slopes on the woofer and 12dB per octave on the tweeter, managing frequency distribution between the two drivers without requiring an external crossover enclosure.

90dB Sensitivity for High Output Efficiency: The 90dB/SPL sensitivity rating ensures the AV X5 delivers high output levels from both head unit and amplifier drive, making it suitable for a wide range of system power levels.

Technical Specs

Compatible With

The AV X5 is designed for vehicles with factory 5.25" speaker positions. The 115mm mounting diameter and 65mm mounting depth suit the standard 5.25" speaker opening found across a range of vehicle door and panel locations. At 4 ohms and 75W continuous, the AV X5 is compatible with both head unit and amplified car audio systems. Verify mounting cut-out diameter and depth clearance against your specific vehicle before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of the orientable tweeter on the AV X5?

The orientable tweeter allows the 1" Tetolon dome to be aimed toward the primary listening position within the vehicle after installation. This improves high-frequency imaging and ensures the listener receives the on-axis tweeter response rather than the off-axis response that would result from a fixed forward-firing tweeter mounted in a door panel at an angle to the seated listening position.

Does the AV X5 require an external crossover?

No. The AV X5 includes an on-wire dedicated crossover network at 3.5kHz integrated into the speaker assembly, managing frequency distribution between the woofer and tweeter without requiring an external crossover enclosure or additional components.

What is CCAW and why does it benefit speaker performance?

CCAW (Copper Clad Aluminium Wire) uses an aluminium core with a copper cladding, providing a voice coil that is significantly lighter than a comparable all-copper coil. The reduced moving mass improves speaker efficiency and transient response, while the copper surface maintains the conductivity required for effective motor force. The lower thermal mass also improves heat dissipation during sustained power handling.

Can the AV X5 be driven directly from a head unit?

Yes. With 90dB sensitivity and a 4-ohm impedance, the AV X5 can be driven from a head unit output. For optimal performance and to approach the 75W continuous power handling rating, an external amplifier matched to the 4-ohm impedance is recommended.

What is the Triple Wave surround and how does it improve performance?

The Triple Wave surround uses an exclusive multi-wave profile rather than a standard single-arch surround. The additional wave geometry distributes the mechanical stress of cone excursion more evenly across the surround cross-section, improving linearity across the full excursion range and extending the reliable service life of the surround material.
