Separate woofers and silk-dome tweeters for a proper stereo image in a classic car. The Blaupunkt CLASSIC 165 Cs is a 6.5″ two-way component set in classic pure black, with metal design grilles that take either a vintage or modern Blaupunkt logo. Shallow neodymium construction, dedicated crossovers and 60W nominal / 120W maximum power handling.

If you want the best possible sound from your classic without spoiling its looks, a component set is the way to go. The Blaupunkt CLASSIC 165 Cs splits the work between a dedicated 6.5″ (165 mm) woofer and a separate 1″ (25.5 mm) silk-dome tweeter, so you can mount the tweeters higher up for a clearer, more natural stereo image.

Proper component system

Separate crossovers for the woofers and tweeters send each driver only the frequencies it handles best. The silk-dome tweeters give a smooth, detailed top end, while the paper-cone woofers with rubber surrounds and Kapton voice coils deliver warm mid-bass. Neodymium magnets keep the woofer mounting depth to just 44.4 mm, and the kit includes mounting adapters and serrated steel rings to make tweeter installation straightforward.

Classic looks, your choice of badge

Finished in classic pure black, each speaker comes with a metal design grille and a choice of vintage or modern Blaupunkt logos, so you can match the period of your car or keep it contemporary.

Performance

  • 120W maximum / 60W nominal power handling
  • 4 Ω impedance – works with standard head units and amplifiers
  • Frequency response 60 – 20,000 Hz
  • 90 dB sensitivity (2.83 V / 1 m) for good volume from head-unit power
  • Gold-plated connectors

Fitting

6.5-inch is the go-to size for larger door cards and rear shelves, and at just 44.4 mm deep they suit installations where a bulky magnet would not clear. You’ll need a cut-out of 142 mm / 5.59″, and a cutting template is printed on the box. Everything else is included – 3 m speaker cables, screws, pirate nuts and adhesive pads – so you can fit them straight away. Always check the mounting depth and cut-out size against your vehicle before ordering.

Will these fit my classic car?

The CLASSIC 165 Cs needs a 142 mm / 5.59" cut-out and 44.4 mm / 1.75" of mounting depth. Many classic and retro cars use 6.5" speaker locations, but fitments vary, so measure your existing opening and the space behind it before ordering. A cutting template is printed on the box if you need to cut a new opening.

Can I run them from my head unit without an amplifier?

Yes. With 90 dB sensitivity and a 4 Ω impedance they work well with the built-in amplifier of a standard head unit. They will also handle an external amplifier up to 60W nominal per speaker.

What is the difference between the vintage and modern logos?

Both badges are supplied in the box. The vintage logo suits older vehicles and period-style interiors, while the modern logo gives a cleaner, contemporary look. Simply fit whichever you prefer to the metal grille.

Coaxial or component – which should I choose?

A component set like this separates the tweeter from the woofer, letting you mount the tweeter higher (on the dash, door or A-pillar) for a better stereo image. It takes a little more installation work than a coaxial speaker, which combines both in one unit, but generally gives the better result.

Do I need to fit the crossovers?

Yes. The supplied crossovers split the signal so the tweeters only receive high frequencies and the woofers handle the rest. Running the tweeters without them can damage them.

What comes in the box?

A pair of speakers with woofers, tweeters, crossovers, mounting adapters, serrated steel rings, metal design grilles, vintage and modern logos, 3 m speaker cables, fixing screws, pirate nuts, adhesive pads and a user manual.
