The PDX series of Alpine amplifiers all share the exact same exterior dimensions at 7-9/16 x 10-1/8” x 2”.

The tweeter is mounted with an “axis-mount,” this is the physical piece that secures the tweeter and provides electrical connection.

Ever since they built their first set of full range component speakers for use in a car back in 1986, the good folks at Boston Acoustics have been busy building products recognized time and again for innovative designs, performance and great sound!

The $169.00 (CDN) kit includes a pair of 6.5” midrange drivers, a pair of ¾” silk dome tweeters, two passive crossover networks, and all the required parts to use the system either as a component system or as coaxials.
