Sony XS-160ES | Mobile ES™ 6.5" (16cm) 2-Way Coaxial Speakers
Part of Sony’s premium Mobile ES™ series, the XS-160ES is designed for audiophiles who demand studio-quality clarity on the road. These speakers utilize high-end materials like Aramid Fiber to ensure that every note—from deep bass to ultra-high frequencies—is reproduced with surgical precision and minimal distortion.
Product Highlights
-
High-Resolution Audio Ready: These speakers are designed to reproduce frequencies up to 40 kHz, ensuring you hear the subtle nuances and "air" in high-quality digital recordings.
-
MRC Aramid Fiber Matrix: The woofer diaphragm uses Sony's unique Lightweight Rigid Cellular material, reinforced with Aramid fiber to suppress resonances and deliver natural, powerful sound.
-
Separated Notch Edge Surround: A proprietary Sony technology that improves vertical amplitude symmetry, resulting in reduced distortion and significantly clearer audio at high volumes.
-
Five-Beam Frame Design: The rigid frame structure disperses resonance while the integrated Dynamic Air Diffuser ensures efficient air circulation for smooth cone travel and cooling.
Key Features
-
Soft Dome Tweeter: Specifically engineered to provide a smooth, non-fatiguing high-frequency response that blends perfectly with the mid-bass driver.
-
Bi-Amp Capable: Features a dedicated crossover network with separate inputs, allowing you to drive the woofer and tweeter with independent amplifier channels for maximum control.
-
Neodymium Tweeter Magnet: Provides a high magnetic flux in a compact size, contributing to the speaker's high sensitivity and detailed treble.
-
Progressive Height Rate Spider: Optimized for rapid and precise cushioning of the speaker cone, even during heavy bass passages.

What Others Are Saying
Eddie was great - SDCS installed a new head unit in my 2019 4Runner. He was honest in his opinions regarding the options I was considering. Pricing was also good - he was able to reuse some of my existing installation kit so I saved a bit of $$.Installation was clean and fast and he took the time to walk through the features before I left. Highly recommend!!
I had a great time at this shop! The staff really knows their stuff and took the time to explain the different options without pressure. Installation was quick, clean and professional. Everything looks factory and sounds amazing. The prices were fair and customer service was above and beyond. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for quality car audio and excellent service.
Those guys are really professional! I had a new Alpine floating head unit installed in my 2008 Mercedes, and it feels like a brand-new car. The installation was super clean. At first, the sound wasn’t the same as the factory stereo, but Kevin tuned it to be just as good—if not better—without adding any new amps. They even used my factory GPS antenna so I don’t have extra wires hanging out. On top of that, they matched the online price. Big thanks to Kevin and Eddie—highly recommended!
Kevin was awesome, he took his time and explained everything to me. I went in initially for a dash cam install and then decided to get a sub and amp installed as well. Both turned out great and will be returning if I need more work done.
Came In not knowing what to expect when suddenly my stereo stopped working. Spoke with Kevin in the front and after a VERY fast diagnosing they discovered my wiring was incorrect. After only about 45 minutes total being in the store I was on my way to the beach with a working stereo again! Thank you so much SDCARSTEREO
Highly recommend Kevin and the team at San Diego Car Stereo for any issues with aftermarket stereos. I bought a car with an aftermarket stereo and AC unit that wasn’t working properly—specifically, the heat wasn’t functioning due to an improper setup. I had several people look at it with no luck, and even the dealership basically refused to help because it was an aftermarket install. I came to Kevin and his team over the holidays feeling pretty defeated, but he was confident he could get the heat working before I headed back to a Colorado winter. Sure enough, he got it done.
