Audio Code AXC CYPHER65 6.5" Midrange Loudspeaker
Description
Description
The Audio Code AXC CYPHER65 6.5" Midrange Loudspeaker delivers 300W RMS power handling at 4 ohms with a frequency response spanning 200Hz to 13kHz — engineered for high-output midrange reproduction in active multi-way systems, competition SPL builds, and custom door pod installations. Sold individually. The CYPHER65 covers the critical midrange band where vocals, instruments, and upper bass presence live, delivering the tonal clarity and output levels that enthusiast builds demand.
The AXC CYPHER65 is a dedicated 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 6.5" nominal diameter fits standard door and pod locations for straightforward integration into custom builds. At 300W RMS power handling, the CYPHER65 is built for high-output active system builds without thermal compression at rated power — a significant step up from the AXC ZRO 6's 250W RMS in the Audio Code midrange lineup. The 4-ohm nominal impedance is compatible with virtually any amplifier channel. Frequency response spans 200Hz to 13kHz, covering the full midrange band from upper bass punch through lower treble presence. Sold individually — order two for a stereo pair.
Use the CYPHER65 as the midrange driver in an active 3-way system: cross it over with a high-pass filter at 200–250Hz (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.

- 4-Ohm Impedance: Compatible with virtually any amplifier channel — no special impedance matching required.
- 6.5" Nominal Diameter: Fits standard door and pod locations for straightforward integration into custom builds.
- CYPHER Series Engineering: A step up from the ZRO series in the Audio Code midrange lineup — more power handling for higher-output active system builds.
- Audio Xtreme Code Build Quality: Engineered for competition and enthusiast applications where standard coaxial speakers fall short on midrange output and clarity.
System Integration Recommendations
The AXC CYPHER65 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 200–250Hz 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 150–300W 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 (such as the JBL DSP4086) is the ideal signal processing solution for a system built around the CYPHER65. Sold individually — order two for a stereo pair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the AXC CYPHER65 sold as a pair or individually?
A: The AXC CYPHER65 is sold individually — one speaker per order. Order two for a stereo pair.
Q: Do I need a crossover for the AXC CYPHER65?
A: Yes — the CYPHER65 is a dedicated midrange driver and must be used with an active or passive crossover. Set a high-pass filter at 200–250Hz 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: How does the CYPHER65 compare to the AXC ZRO 6?
A: Both are Audio Code 6.5" dedicated midrange loudspeakers at 4 ohms. The CYPHER65 handles 300W RMS vs 250W RMS for the ZRO 6, and has a slightly different frequency response (200Hz–13kHz vs 100Hz–12kHz). The CYPHER65 is the higher-output option in the Audio Code midrange lineup. Contact us at Trinity Car Audio for a recommendation based on your system goals.
Q: What amplifier should I use with the AXC CYPHER65?
A: A dedicated amplifier channel rated 150–300W RMS at 4 ohms is ideal. In a multi-way active system, a 4-channel or DSP amplifier with active crossover capability is the preferred solution. Contact us at Trinity Car Audio for a complete system design consultation.
