Upgrading the sound in a classic car shouldn’t mean bolting in something that looks like it came out of a modern hatchback. The Blaupunkt CLASSIC 165 Cx is part of the new exPress CLASSIC range, designed to look right behind the grille of an older vehicle while giving you a genuine step up from tired original speakers.
Built for tight spaces
Each 6.5″ (165 mm) speaker combines a paper-cone woofer with a 13 mm Mylar dome tweeter mounted on the same axis, so you get full-range sound from a single cut-out. Neodymium magnets on both drivers keep the mounting depth to just 44.4 mm, and Kapton voice coils on the tweeter and woofer cope well with heat over long drives. A rubber surround and steel basket complete a durable, no-nonsense build.
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.
