Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Boston Acoustics SPZ component system. Nothing better describes SPZ components than

best-in-class. With nearly 1-inch of peak-to-peak excursion, SPZ delivers more bass from a standard size speaker

opening. Further, Our off-axis, free rotating tweeter AMD™allows you to optimize the soundstage from OEM speaker

locations. Component systems that combine installation flexibility with best-in-class performance are the clear choice for

those who refuse to compromise the interior of their high performance vehicle. Others make claims. We deliver ours with

the Boston Acoustics SPZ Reference Components.

Nearly 1-inch peak-to-peak excursion from finite-element optimized rubber surround

Performs as a larger diameter woofer yet drops into OEM speaker locations.

Component and axis mount configurable

Allows utilization of OEM speaker locations without radical customization.

Free rotating axis-mount geometry acts as both a lens and tweeter baffle to allow adjustable soundstage height from a fixed mounting position

Integrates woofer and tweeter as a seamless acoustic system.

Compact neodymium magnet structures

Deliver superb sound quality output from compact Magnetic-finite-element optimized structures.

Copper-clad aluminum woofer voice coils

Provides low-mass, long Xmax, and optimized DCR while maintaining power handling.

150W RMS power handling

Enabled by RadialVent®cooling and TwinStage™heatsink.

System specific 24dB per octave crossovers with application specific filters

Minimizes driver placement issues based on OEM speaker locations.
