- Sony's Mobile ES Series car speakers deliver audiophile-grade sound quality at a reasonable price. They're high-res certified and are the result of a painstaking design process designed to eliminate distortion.
Sony Mobile ES Series: www.crutchfield.com/i-rYTVc2N...
The woofer cones use a lightweight yet rigid mica-reinforced cellular aramid fiber, which helps enhance low-frequency response and mid-range accuracy. The speakers can handle up to 75 watts RMS and an integrated air diffuser makes sure they don't get too hot even when you're cranking them for hours.
The synthetic fabric dome tweeter plays up to 40,000 Hz, which although outside the range of human hearing nonetheless brings an extra layer of texture and detail to your favorite songs. Once you get outside the human hearing range it becomes more of an atmospheric change, and the ES Series tweeter is a true gem.
The ES Series speakers are available in 2-way and 3-way designs, and are ready for high-powered amps. There is a matching subwoofer as well: www.crutchfield.com/i-rYTVc2N...

I have Sony Mobile Es speakers and it beats a lot of more expensive speakers in terms of sound quality. They sound very vibrant and clean.
Do you hear the important sounds that for some reason other speakers don't focus on?
Sony ES was always my dream equipment.
About time Sony came back into the game on top. I'm really really hoping all the OG old school companies come back and just shut down the game. Focal who??
Yup! I'm with you on that.
Getting the component system soon can't wait to get it installed!
i really love their sound, smooth
Very smooth! Which size are you using? What are you using for power?
Gotta save up for these!
Will these be available for 2018 WRX? How do they compare to the Focal K2?
The listings for the XS-160ES and XS-690ES have the wrong photos on the website.
High res tweeters can handle upto 40khz, my dog can now enjoy those high frequencies.
Which speaker sounds more alive? Sony xs-162es or Focal es 165k? Pls reply crutchfield because i'm planning to buy one of those speakers i said'
I wish Sony would make off the shelf hifi components that consumers could buy outside of the automotive industry.
Just put four 6.5's in a 2017 Mazda 3. No amp. All stock. Sounds incredible.
Is the bass good? I want to be heard coming down the street
@@imSincerePromise It's "good" and very clear but if you're going for feeling the "thud" or hearing it from 100 ft. away then you're going to have to add an amp and a sub.
@@truth8508 ok thanks
How did you set up the tweeters? Having trouble trying to figure out how to set up the crossovers and wire them over to the factory location
Was looking at putting JBL GTO930's in my Jeep Renegade with a Sony XAV-AV7000 . . . . but these seems WAY BETTER. Had the Sony premium option in my 06 Ford Focus ST, and I loved it. This would let me keep the Sony brand all the way through. Awesome video!!!
Would I be fine running 4x Sony XS-690ES just from the Sony AV7000 (with the built-in 100x4amp/45w RMS). My Renegade only has 4 speakers, no dash or sub woofer. I don't want to severely under power the Sony XS-690ES.
Those speakers have a decent sensitivity and should work well with that radio's power. Definitely work better than other speakers will with that power.

www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc227/support/ContactUs.aspx
Would these speakers fit in my 2016 f150 lariat crew cab with the stock Sony head unit? Would that head unit be powerful enough to run these without an additional amplifier?
These speakers will perform best with an aftermarket amp for power. Do you want to add one? Which locations did you want to put new speakers into?
Will these be available for the 2017-2020 Nissan Pathfinder with or without nav system?
Our research department did not find enough room in the stock mounting locations to take these speakers. If a custom work is done to make room for them, then it is best to install an aftermarket amp to power them. The reason is that the stock speakers have a lower impedance than these speakers. These speaker will pull less power than the stock speakers and at this level, that will produce a noticeably reduced volume level which will lead to an overall, lower sound quality.
They have the 3 way now. I'm trying to plan an install dose the 3.5 work better with an enclosure in the dash? What size enclosure if so. And would you add sound deadening stuffing?
These 3-way component speakers have been built to function without needing an enclosure for any of the drivers (not even the woofers).
Can they be loud and can i use them with a bunch of subs?
Matching the right amp can help you get the volume you need.
Which is Sony Mobile ES or Infinity Kappa , please suggest, Thank you
This will be largely subjective. You radio, amps, vehicle, ears all play a part! Our advisors would love to help you on a more personal level: bit.ly/2KP1zS3
V ncy and cleen setup
Will those work on a Peugeot 308 2016 without an amplifier?
These Sony ES Series speakers sound best with an aftermarket amp in any application.
Are these better than Alpine X range?
Each speaker has its own advantages and can work better for various people depending on their goals and preferences. We have advisors that can discuss this to get a personal recommendation on which is better for you. Here's how to reach us for this help:

Hello,
For a combination of Sony speakers XS-162ES at front & XS-160ES at rear, which is a suitable amplifier among Sony XM-GS4 or XM-4ES?
I require to get crystal clear sound only with some good bass. I am NOT looking for very loud sound.
What are the extra things to get from XM-4ES over XM-GS4, is it only loudness or the output is far better in terms of clarity?
Is it worth the price if I install XM-4ES or XM-GS4 will meet my requirements?
Please let me know. Thanks!
Also have this question ☝️
Will this be a night and day difference if Ill be replacing the stock Bose system on my Sierra 1500 truck? Im just thinking of upgrading the stock speakers
We can check on this. What year is your Sierra pickup? What cab does your pickup have?
Also, are you hoping to use the amp in your Bose sound system to power then new speakers?
@@crutchfield I have a 2019 Sierra crewcab. And yes Im using the stock bose amp and only replacing the bose speakers
We do not expect that replacing the speakers in that system with these Sony Mobile ES will produce that level of difference in sound. There are other speakers that can give that level of a difference. Speakers with a 92 or higher sensitivity will typically give that level of a change in sound in this system.
@@crutchfield what do you suggest
I'm sure we can find some speakers to help improve the sound. What changes are you hoping to make to the sound you get from the Bose speakers?
Anyone know the mounting depth or how deep the actual 6.5" driver is on the component set? Having a difficult time finding it on the website. 🤔
We can help with that. Which 6.5" system do you have in mind? Are you looking to install them into a specific vehicle?
@@crutchfield nothing set in stone atm, as used vehicles in my area are difficult to find. Basically to replace my very old work suv 2003 yukon. I noticed a Chevy Tahoe the other day, being a 2011 I believe. Thats a start, but I'm leaving my options wide open to find the right vehicle. I was referring to the dimensions on the 6.5" mid that comes with the 2 way component set.
We have a vehicle fit guide on our web site that may help you while you are shopping for vehicles. It is possible to list the vehicle you are currently considering to see what options are available for install. That fit guide can be found here:
www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc227/car/outfitmycar/mycar.aspx
The mounting depth of woofer in the Sony XS-162ES 2-way component speaker is 2-3/16". This mounting depth is typically listed in the Details section of the web page we publish for a speaker and you can find that page on these Sony component speakers here:
www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc227/p_158XS162ES/item.html
Does this amp have enough power to run the 6.5's XS-160ES & 6x9's XS-690ES together?
What is the brand and model of the amp you are asking about?
@@crutchfield sorry I’m asking about the Sony XM- GS4 amp
That amp can power both sets of the speakers you first listed!
They don’t plan to make it 3-way ? Like the xs-gs1631c?
We show no 3-way currently.
@@crutchfield it’s not on their official webpage .. maybe they don’t plan to launch it ..
Thanks, Faizal. We would list any new models we pick up from them via our site as we have them.
What 4-channel amplifier would be optimal for 4 of these XS-680ES’s
The Sony XM-GS4 amp is an excellent match to the XS-680ES speakers and you can find the amp here:

@@crutchfield thank you!
😄
Hi mate. I want these 3 ways in my car but the vehicle has 6x9 in the fronts from factory. Can I buy a set of the es 6x9 components and use the 6x9 with the 3 way set?
Hi Darren, sounds like you're planning a nice upgrade! What is the year, make, and model of your car?
@@crutchfield it's a 2018 y62 Patrol.
I think it's an Infinity qx80 in the states.
We haven't researched your vehicle; but if you are able to verify fit is the same as the QX80 or even the US Armada, you can fit the 6.5" driver in this Sony XS-163ES 6-1/2" 3-way Component System using the American International NSB710 brackets here: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc921/p_003NSB710/item.html
@@crutchfield ok cheers mate. Thanks for your help
Will a 1-Ch amplifier Class AB 200 (4Ω) work good for this ES Subwoofer?
It can work but that is less power than we recommend giving it for best clarity. The Sony ES subwoofer can handle up to 450 watts RMS and we recommend a minimum of 70% of that top RMS watts. The ideal amp should output 315-450 watts RMS for the sub.
@@crutchfieldThanks I will go for Sony GS100 Class D 330 watt. Is it a good choice ?
Yes! The Sony XM-SG100 amp is a match for the sub. They will work well together
Are these better than the Infinity Kappa series?
Each of these has a benefit that for the right person would make it the better choice. What are your goals for the sound?
@@crutchfield Which one would Audio Science Review prefer?
Hi can you tell me which one is the best sony xs-162es or pioneer ts-z65ch. Thank you
Both great brands! What types of music do you listen to most often and what will you be using for power? Did you want to fit these into a specific vehicle?
@CRUTCHFIELD I want clear music and strong bass my car is peugeot 508 2022
We are not able to research a peugeot to know what can fit into it. The Sony ES speakers are better at producing a clearer sound than the Pioneer speakers. If you can run a subwoofer with them, you will have the best of both of those aspects of audio. If you cannot and the preference between them is the best bass, the Pioneer speakers are better. You may want to check with a local installer if its possible to install either of those into your vehicle.
@@crutchfield thank you so much for helping
You're welcome!
I want a set
Wish my spinal cord would heal, and then when these parts come out, snag the coaxial ES speakers (xs160es) for my front and rear doors, and then snag the 10" sub, maybe two, and put them in a sealed enclosure in the trunk of my mirage. I would LOVE this system. The only downside would be lack of new headunits. We are gonna need ES headunits too.... the GS9 is just too expensive and usually sold out anyway.
wheres the midranges?
With our current line-up, they are included as the 6.5" driver in the 6-1/2" component speaker system or built into the coax 6.5", 6x9" and 6x8".
Cannot to install them
Delete then
I spent a little more and got Audio Frog.. Sorry.
You can't touch what I got...
Oh, Im currently cross shopping these with AudioFrog, Morel, and Focal! Any input? Ive had Focal in the past with great luck, but am wanting something more smooth this time around. Yet I don't want to sacrifice too much of the top end, so I'm kinda stuck in my shopping right now...
@@aaronfrench8322 What do you mean by top end? Hz wise?
The AF GB series are so smooth. My music tastes have changed quite a bit because of these speakers. The GB's don't quite get as loud as the GS's but the tonal difference is pretty noticeable in my case. I have had Focal's before and they are good, but I think I have found the best speaker for me that will most likely go into my vehicles going forward. Go to your shops and see if they have any customers with the GB's and talk to them to get their opinion.
Why do these not fit my doors in my Silverado?
More information is needed to be able to check this fitment question. We recommend contacting an advisor to discuss the fit issue and if necessary, help recommend alternatives that can fit. Here's how to reach us for this help:

@@crutchfield
J.R., In the video description you say that, "The ES Series speakers are available in 2-way and 3-way designs...". I don't think that is the case unless you know something that Sony isn't telling its consumers.
Compared to the original Mobile ES products, these look like "consumer friendly" watered down products, not TOTL/no expense spared products.
Sony or jbl ?
sony
both have unique quality , however old sony ES did things that i couldnt get from jbl . i wanna try these .
Sony's Mobile ES TOTL speakers made in Vietnam, not Japan? :/ IMO, for Sony to put their "Mobile ES" badge on these they must be made in Japan. Just sayin'. I don't see the any of the Japanese car audio enthusiasts accepting these as worthy of the "Mobile ES" moniker.
And even with it being their Mobile ES, they don't include any speaker wires. Anything to save a penny. SMH
To be home I’m disappointed! The product looks amazing and I don’t doubt that they sound wonderful my only problem is that I only like Active setup! And unable to find the RMS rating of each component! I called sony and they said they can not provide me with the specs I need to go active that I must use there crossover and there amp! So I won’t be able to make the correct time alignment!! What a shame from sony limit us like that! Wanted to have a 3 way system in the front and another in the back and a 2 way in the trunk!
Guess I’m gonna have to find another company 🤦♂️ really wanted to get the sony!
We hate to hear about your experience with their support. An approach that works for powering them in an active setup is to get amp/amps which output the total RMS watts of the component speaker on each channel. This process works because the audio being output by the amp is not full range which reduces the watts being output by the amp on each channel
@@crutchfield my only concern is that I’m afraid to send a 100w rms to the tweeters and blow them out! I’ve always used the x1.2 of the speaker rms power to match the correct amp with it!
I wanted to have 1 amp (4ch) for the tweeters, 1 for the midrange, 1 for the woofer and 1 mono for the sub all connected to a dsp
(Probably more if I’m going to install speakers in the trunk)
This sent up will my epic confirmation!
PS: And using the ohm law to set the gain correctly… using the speaker specs and not the amp
And I can’t do that if I don’t have the exact RMS and ohm of each component
@@crutchfield please if you can get me the info I need + each component frequency range I’d would really appreciate it 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
We do have other brands with separates ideal for this type of setup. Do you have the specs on your amps?
