Hi Vi RESEARCH CAR AUDIO
In 2003 Hi-Vi Research were commissioned by Volkswagen to produce a high quality speaker system for their Passat and Bora range.
The resultant system, the B650CS, became very highly regarded both home and abroad, and became part of the C series of high end products with accurate and smooth performance, large sound-field, low distortion, and a musical sound.
The series includes the CF150- 5" and CF160- 6" coaxial units and the 6" component system B650CS. Hi Vi Research use rigid but light ceramic polypropylene talc cones to give a fast dynamic sound that has a high degree of moisture resistance. The tweeters use high performance neodymium magnets and natural fabric to give a highly damped dome membrane and smooth response, a low mass voice coil and Ferro- fluid cooling give a detailed treble with high power handling.
Coaxial systems include grilles mounting frames and screws, and component systems include tweeters , bass units and crossovers.
