MATCH MS5X 5-1/4" 2-way car speakers

The FAST Rings Kit helps to focus all the sound into the cabin, prevent panel vibration and destructive wave interference giving you noticeably improved speaker performance and less panel resonance. Each FAST Ring kit comes complete and ready to install on 1 pair of speakers

*Does not come with speakers shown in images. 

Fast Rings Instructions for Easy Installation:

1. Separate the three pieces of Foam of the FAST Ring kit (101, 102, 103)
2. Clean the back panel of the door, remove the backing paper from 103 and adhere directly behind the speaker to the outermost panel in the door. This will help absorb the rear wave and reduce panel vibration. (This step is optional as it is possible to absorb moisture)
3. With a razor blade cut circumferentially 102 down to approximately 1/4”. Remove backing paper and adhere to mounting surface of speaker. This will decouple the speaker from its substrate and prevent front and rear wave cancellation.
4. Using standard installation procedures wire and mount speaker.
5. Clean around the outside edge of the speaker, remove the backing paper from 101 and adhere 101 directly around the speaker. Test fit panel for fitment. If needed trim 101 circumferentially until proper fitment is achieved. It should press tightly to the door panel. This will focus all the sound into the cabin, prevent panel vibration and destructive wave interference giving you noticeably improved speaker performance and less panel resonance.

This is a thermal protection device for Hybrid Audio Technologies tweeters. It is required when running any tweeter actively without the protection of the factory crossover on the Imagine, Clarus speakers or Legatia speakers. It is designed to protect the speakers from damage caused by turn on pops, misadjusted crossover frequencies or auto calibrating processors that deliver a signal beyond the frequency range of the tweeter. If you use the Imagine or Clarus speakers with their included crossovers these are not necessary.

These are required for approval to any warranty claim where a tweeter was damaged because of the above mentioned causes.

Includes: One pair (2 pcs) of tweeter protectors

The Stage 1 Mirus line-up is comprised of dedicated coaxial kits for the cost-effective, OEM replacement market.

"We managed to get Hybrid Audio-level performance at this price point; the Mirus name is Latin for 'astonishing'; Hybrid Audio is sure that you will be astonished at how good an entry-level coaxial can truly sound (and look)."

Kits include a pair of coated steel frame two-way coaxials with water-proof paper cones proprietary to Hybrid Audio Technologies, high-energy ferrite magnets, 20mm soft-dome tweeters that swivel, integrated high-quality Mylar tweeter crossover capacitors, encased in a full-color gift box. Grilles are optional, sold separately, and have use in universal applications through Stage IV Clarus series.

It's finally here: the Unity U69v2 (6x9-inch Drivers) from Hybrid Audio Technologies are now available here on Audio Intensity. The U69, like all Unity component sets, features a meld of both Imagine and Clarity levels to produce high-end speakers a more budget-friendly price point.

Hybrid Audio has been testing pre-production U69s in several vehicles nationwide with incredible results. Finally, there is an audiophile upgrade to maximize the performance of the factory speaker 6x9 locations now available in the front doors of select newer vehicles. The increased cone area of a 6x9 vs a traditional 6" allows for a much more solid up front bass with increased power handling and dynamics. They work great in late-model Dodge/Chrysler, Toyotas, Cadillacs, etc. Since the are midrange/midbass drivers, they can be used beautifully as a 2-way with either the Legatia L3V2 or L3SE for those vehicles that also include dash locations. They can also be combined with a Clarus C1 Tweeter and U2x Crossover as a traditional 2-way set.

The Hybrid Audio Imagine I61-2v2 system contains speaker drivers with grilles and a tweeter passive crossover network that were developed and assembled with a significant effort in research and development, materials science engineering, an exhaustive level of sampling and prototyping, real-world testing, and obsessive attention to detail.

The Hybrid Audio Imagine I61-2v2 system consists of a 6.5" coaxial/convertible component set designed for the discerning consumer interested in more than just an ‘OEM replacement speaker.’

The Imagine line-up has quickly become Hybrid Audio’s best-selling speaker, and a favorite amongst dealers and consumers because of its price to performance ratio. Imagine easily outperforms sets costing twice to three times the price. In fact, Imagine was named “one of the top-11 best bargain speakers available” by Car Audio & Electronics Magazine in 2013.

Hybrid Audio Imagine I61-2v2 kits include a pair of cast ABS frame midbass coaxials with water-proof paper cones proprietary to Hybrid Audio Technologies, high-energy ferrite magnets, 25mm soft-dome tweeters, component set conversion items (midbass phase plugs, tweeter cups and hardware, connection wire, and an extra set of magnet decals), integrated high-quality Mylar tweeter crossover capacitors.

Hybrid Audio Technologies latest addition to the Unity line up is the Hybrid Audio U3 3.7" Wide Band Midrange Driver. This cost-effective solution offers the opportunity for customers to benefit from the legendary quality of Hybrid Audio midrange speakers in the sub $200 price category.

The new Hybrid Audio U3 driver is a stand-alone driver that can be added into a component set for an affordable 3-way solution or can be used in conjunction with a midbass driver allowing for a near drop-in replacement for Dodge, Chrysler and Toyota owners looking for an affordable upgrade with minimal modifications.

Note: The Legatia L6G grille has application for the Legatia L6V2, Legatia L6SE, as well as the original Legatia L6 offering.

NOTE: The grille height clearance is very close to the height of the phase plug extended pole piece on certain Hybrid Audio models. For this reason, the end-user MUST use the supplied non-hardening gasket material between the plastic retainer and the grille mesh to keep the grille mesh firmly in place, and to allow enough height clearance to the phase plug extended pole piece.

The Legatia L3G grille has application for the Legatia L3V2, Legatia L3SE, as well as the original Legatia L3 offering.

The Hybrid Audio Clarus C61-2v2 is part of Hybrid Audio Technology’s “Stage IV” offering, an option that has received the praises of the mass media and users worldwide. All design cues for the Clarus series were taken from the Stage V Legatia series. Hybrid Audio Clarus C61-2v2 kit was reviewed by Car Audio & Electronics Magazine as one of the finest component sets ever tested, at any cost, in the past twenty years of the magazine’s review of car audio products. 

Each Hybrid Audio Clarus C61-2v2 kit contains a pair of 6.5" midbass drivers, a pair of Clarus C1 20mm soft-dome tweeters, Clarus competition-grade crossovers with nickel-plated spring- loaded terminals (suitable for display), tweeter hardware with several tweeter mounting options, connection wire, grilles, and gift box. The Hybrid Audio Clarus C61-2v2 systems are a good “step up” in performance from the Unity series, boasting higher grade materials, increased midbass authority, higher power handling, and elevated tonal and spectral balance performance.

Hybrid Audio Clarus C61-2v2 Attributes:

Hybrid Audio Clarus C61-2v2 frame is Cast aluminum with black powder-texture surface coating. The basket is a high-quality cast aluminum design, which plays a critical role in aligning the voice coil in the magnetic circuit. Additionally, the cast aluminum frame allows for better clamping strength verses typical stamped steel frames, and ensures that the voice coil remains centered in the former. The black coating on the frame protects it from abrasion and oxidation. The frames are similar in size and format to the Mirus, Imagine, and Clarus-series drivers, allowing for upgrade potential from these product lines to the Clarus series.

Hybrid Audio Clarus C61-2v2 Cone and Dust Cap: Pressed paper, untreated on the front side and treated on the rearward side. It is widely acknowledged that pressed paper cones are the best marriage of lightness, stiffness, and ability of the cone to damp unwanted cone and edge modes and resonances (read: distortion). The damping afforded by the paper cone ensures the midbass speakers can play lower treble frequencies effortlessly, without significant cone “breakup.” Our approach to “point-source imaging” is to rely on the midbass driver to effectively reproduce the lower treble frequencies, where the human vocal range extends, as well as other imaging-critical musical instruments, ensuring phase-coherent imaging and stable, lifelike staging character. The paper cone, known for its excellent sonic attributes, is water resistant, thanks to a polymer developed exclusive and proprietary by Hybrid Audio Technologies. The treatment does not change the look and parameters of the driver like old-fashioned “glossy” polymers which added an appreciable amount of moving mass and significantly colored the sound. No, the Clarus cones look like any “normal” paper cone. The treatment protects the cone from periodic drips (such as inside a door panel), as well as accidental splashes to the front of the cone. The dust-cap covers the voice coil to keep dirt and debris from fouling the voice coil gap. Since high frequency information emanates from the center of the cone, a paper dust-cap was utilized in concert with the pressed paper cone diaphragm to ensure that the speaker’s response remained linear into the lower- to mid-treble frequencies. Surround Inverted high-loss rubber surround. The inverted high-loss rubber surround (in concert with the spider, detailed below), helps to provide the compliance and “restorative force” needed for the Clarus drivers to play efectively into the lower midbass, and even upper subbass frequencies (depending on in-car cabin gain and other factors). You’ll also know a Hybrid Audio midrange and midbass design by its inverted surround; this design feature allows for the use of a smaller height grille, better clearance with OEM panels, and more flexibility in mounting options. The surround is a shared technology with the Imagine series coaxial and convertible component sets.

Hybrid Audio Clarus C61-2v2 Spider: Phenolic fabric and tinned tinsel leads. The spider is the brownish/yellow corrugated (rippled) fabric that attaches the cone and voice coil. The spider for the Clarus designs was the subject of a considerable amount of our research and development. The spider is a phenolic symmetrically-rolled fabric which provides excellent restorative force during excursion, and the woven tinsel leads, often not found in speakers in this price range, are an asset to the Clarus line because the leads are protected from physical damage and accidental short circuit. The tinsel leads are connected to real epoxy PCB, not flimsy cardboard.

Hybrid Audio Clarus C61-2v2 Voice Coil and Motor System: 1” (25mm) (C5) and 1.4” (35mm) (C6): complimentary design. The voice coil used in the Clarus midbass is a 2-layer aluminized copper wire coils on a round former. An “overhung” voice coil was selected to improve sensitivity while still keeping distortion to a minimum. The motor system utilizes a ferrite magnet with rubber protective boot (which can be removed to improve mounting depth), complimented by design with a back plate and rear venting chamber to improve the speaker’s thermal power handling and improved ability of the midbass to play at high amplitudes.

The Hybrid Audio Legatia L3SE is a 93mm (3.7-inch) “small format” wide-bandwidth midrange/full-range driver to compliment both two-way and three-way system designs, where a point-source midrange and/or full-range driver is required. 

The Hybrid Audio Legatia L3SE is the world’s finest multi-purpose super high-end speaker driver. Mechanical and electrical parameters are amenable to a variety of different installations and speaker locations. This driver is intended to be used in an infinite baffle configuration; a simple, solid baffle, solidly attached to the car’s chassis with available airspace at the rear of the baffle is all that is required for optimum operation. The size of the L3SE allows it to be mounted in typical “3-inch” midrange locations within a vehicle, or in custom locations at the discretion of the end-user, as long as there is adequate airspace behind the driver to allow it to maintain proper damping and acoustic suspension. 

At home in virtually any arrangement, the L3SE is Hybrid Audio Technologies Legatia SE high-end small-format midrange offering, boasting exceptional performance and a design philosophy that goes hand in hand with true high-fidelity playback.
