Description
The Audio Code AXC ZR046 4x6" Bullet Midrange Speakers deliver 100W RMS / 200W peak power at 4 ohms with an integrated bullet phase plug and 90dB sensitivity — engineered for high-output midrange reproduction in active multi-way systems, competition SPL builds, and custom door pod installations. Sold as a pair (2 speakers). Frequency response spans 100Hz to 12.5kHz, covering the critical midrange band from upper bass punch to lower treble presence.
The AXC ZR046 is a dedicated 4x6" midrange loudspeaker, not a coaxial — it is designed to be crossed over and used as part of an active or passive multi-way system alongside a subwoofer and tweeter. The integrated bullet phase plug controls the dispersion pattern of the midrange frequencies, reducing off-axis coloration and improving on-axis clarity and focus — a design feature common in competition SPL and high-output car audio builds. The 4x6" form factor fits standard OEM dash, door, and rear deck locations across a wide range of vehicles, making the ZR046 a practical upgrade for builds where a round midrange won't fit. At 90dB sensitivity (1W/1m), the ZR046 delivers solid output from modest amplifier power — ideal for multi-channel systems where amplifier channels are shared across multiple drivers. The 4-ohm nominal impedance is compatible with virtually any amplifier channel. Sold as a pair — includes 2 speakers.
Use the AXC ZR046 as the midrange driver in an active 3-way system: cross it over with a high-pass filter at 100–150Hz (to protect it from bass frequencies) and a low-pass filter at 4–6kHz (to hand off to a tweeter). Pair with a dedicated tweeter for the upper frequencies and a subwoofer for the low end. Drive with a 4-channel amplifier or a DSP amplifier with active crossover capability.

- Sold as a Pair: Includes 2 speakers — everything you need for a stereo midrange upgrade in one order.
System Integration Recommendations
The AXC ZR046 is a dedicated midrange driver — it must be used with an active or passive crossover. In an active 3-way system: set a high-pass crossover at 100–150Hz to protect the driver from bass frequencies, and a low-pass crossover at 4–6kHz to hand off to a tweeter. Drive with a dedicated amplifier channel rated 50–100W RMS at 4 ohms. Pair with a dedicated tweeter for the upper frequencies and a subwoofer for the low end. A DSP amplifier with active crossover capability is the ideal signal processing solution for a system built around the ZR046. Sold as a pair — includes 2 speakers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are the AXC ZR046 sold as a pair or individually?
A: The AXC ZR046 are sold as a pair — 2 speakers per order. Everything you need for a stereo midrange upgrade in one purchase.
Q: Do I need a crossover for the AXC ZR046?
A: Yes — the ZR046 is a dedicated midrange driver and must be used with an active or passive crossover. Set a high-pass filter at 100–150Hz to protect it from bass frequencies and a low-pass filter at 4–6kHz to hand off to a tweeter. A DSP amplifier with active crossover capability is the ideal solution.
Q: What does the bullet phase plug do?
A: The integrated bullet phase plug controls the dispersion pattern of the midrange frequencies, reducing off-axis coloration and improving on-axis clarity and focus. This is a design feature common in competition SPL and high-output car audio builds where precise midrange reproduction is critical.
Q: Will the 4x6" size fit my vehicle?
A: The 4x6" form factor fits standard OEM dash, door, and rear deck locations across a wide range of vehicles — particularly common in Ford, GM, and Chrysler platforms. Contact us at Trinity Car Audio with your year, make, and model to confirm fitment before ordering.
