Excursion SHX-6.3C dB – 3-way speaker set with 4 165 mm woofers
Excursion SHX-6.3C dB is a 3-way car speaker set from the SHX Street High Power eXcursion series. The set has been prepared for users who expect powerful bass, high efficiency, and a more extensive soundstage than in classic 2-way sets.
The dB version, i.e. double Bass, includes as many as 4 SHX-6M woofers with a diameter of 165 mm, a SX-SAT mid-high frequency set, 6 passive crossovers, and MDF mounting panels. This configuration allows for greater efficiency, a stronger bass foundation, and better frequency separation in the car.
Double Bass in a 3-Way System
The Excursion SHX-6.3C dB combines the advantages of a 3-way system with an additional pair of woofers. This allows the bass section to work with a larger diaphragm surface, allowing the system to offer more dynamic, powerful, and more perceptible bass.
When two woofers are connected in parallel in one channel, a total impedance of 1.5 ohms is achieved. This configuration allows for more efficient use of the amplifier and higher power output. The set works well with Excursion amplifiers stable up to 2 Ohms.

SHX Series – greater dynamics and higher efficiency
Excursion SHX sets were created as a more advanced alternative to entry-level speaker systems. Compared to the lower-end SX series, they offer a more mature, dynamic sound character and higher efficiency.
SHX woofers have an impedance of 3 Ohms. This allows them to more effectively utilize the amplifier's power. In the dB version, two woofers can be connected in parallel in one channel, achieving very powerful and dynamic bass reproduction.
SHX-6M Woofers – Four 165 mm Drivers
The set includes four SHX-6M woofers with a diameter of 165 mm. Their diaphragms are made of a 2-layer composite of paper, natural wool, and glass fiber. This construction is light, stiff, and well-damped.
The lower mass of the diaphragm improves the speaker's response. This results in more detailed midrange tones, and a better bass foundation. After a break-in period, the set can reveal an even fuller and more dynamic character.
The woofers have an LXPD dust cap in the style of a phase plug. This improves sound resolution at a wider listening angle, which is especially important for low-mounted door speakers.
EFF Magnet System and Effective Cooling
SHX-6M woofers utilize the EFF (Efficient Flux Field) magnet system. It is more powerful than standard solutions in this class and features a central hole that aids voice coil cooling and lowers the resonance frequency.
The extended voice coil gap allows for greater linear excursion of the diaphragm. This allows the woofers to offer higher efficiency, especially in the low frequency range. Aluminum voice coil formers and additional ventilation holes improve resistance to intense operation.
SX-SAT – Mid-Tweeter Section
The integrated SX-SAT system is responsible for the midrange and treble frequencies. It consists of 70 mm midrange drivers and 25 mm tweeters. The close proximity of the two drivers facilitates mid-high frequency alignment and improves soundstage coherence.
The midrange drivers utilize lightweight cones made from two layers of pressed, thin paper with an ADC coating. This allows them to reproduce vocals, instruments, and the upper midrange well.
The tweeters have natural silk domes. They provide clean, detailed, and pleasant highs. A neodymium magnetic system and ferrofluid cooling support the stable operation of the tweeters.
MDF panels for permanent installation
The set includes MDF mounting panels designed for permanent installation of the SX-SAT set. They can be used, for example, for installation in the A-pillars of a car.
This solution offers greater possibilities for adjusting the midrange and treble than traditional factory mounting. It allows for better directing the sound towards the listener and improving the stereo image.
6 dB/oct. passive crossovers.
The Excursion SHX-6.3C dB includes 6 passive crossovers. The set includes 2 SX-2WX crossovers for the midrange and tweeters and 4 SHX-2WX crossovers for the woofers.
The crossovers operate with a slope of 6 dB/oct. They use MKP audio capacitors and coils made of thick copper wire. Small dimensions and low weight make installation in a car easy.
The crossovers are designed to work with optional Excursion XLR resistive attenuators, which allow you to lower the volume level of the midrange or tweeter section.

Possible Connection Methods
In a set with four woofers, two connection options are available. In the first option, a pair of woofers connected in parallel is powered by a common LPF filter from a single SHX-2WX crossover. The second pair operates in the same manner.
In the second option, each woofer is powered independently by a separate LPF filter from four SHX-2WX crossovers. This option is more neutral sonically because the 3 Ohm impedance of each woofer connected to a separate crossover does not change the LPF crossover point.
In both variants, the SX-SAT mid-range/tweeter system should be powered by two separate SX-2WX crossovers.
Important Installation Information
Crossovers are essential for the proper operation of the midrange and tweeters. They protect them from signals that are too low in frequency. Connecting these speakers without crossovers can permanently damage the voice coils. Such damage is not covered by the warranty.
Depending on the mounting location, speaker orientation, and distance from the listener, changing the polarity of the midrange or tweeters may help improve response alignment around the crossover point.
Optional Excursion XLR resistive attenuators can be used to reduce the signal level of the midrange or tweeters by 2 to 10 dB. For a 1.5 Ohm configuration, use an appropriate amplifier.
