Sold individually. The NEO 5 brings rare-earth magnet efficiency and output to the 5.25\" midrange format, delivering more power handling and wider upper-frequency extension than conventional ferrite-magnet designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe defining feature of the AXC NEO 5 is its \u003cstrong\u003eneodymium magnet motor\u003c\/strong\u003e. Neodymium (rare-earth) magnets produce significantly stronger magnetic fields than conventional ferrite magnets at a fraction of the weight — the result is a more powerful motor structure that drives the cone with greater force and precision, improving transient response, detail retrieval, and output efficiency. At \u003cstrong\u003e200W RMS power handling\u003c\/strong\u003e, the NEO 5 is the highest-output 5.25\" midrange driver in the Audio Code lineup — significantly more than the ZR05's 150W RMS. The \u003cstrong\u003e150Hz–16kHz frequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the full midrange band from upper bass presence through the lower treble, with the same 16kHz upper extension as the ZR05. The 5.25\" nominal diameter fits standard OEM door, dash, and rear deck locations where a 6.5\" driver won't fit. \u003cstrong\u003eSold individually — order two for a stereo pair.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUse the NEO 5 as the midrange driver in an active 3-way system: cross it over with a high-pass filter at 150–200Hz (to protect it from bass frequencies) and a low-pass filter at 6–8kHz (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 dedicated amplifier channel rated 100–200W RMS.

In an active 3-way system: set a high-pass crossover at 150–200Hz to protect the driver from bass frequencies, and a low-pass crossover at 6–8kHz to hand off to a tweeter. Drive with a dedicated amplifier channel rated 100–200W RMS. 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. \u003cstrong\u003eSold individually — order two for a stereo pair.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFull Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAudio Code (Audio Xtreme Code)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAXC NEO 5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMidrange Loudspeaker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNominal Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.25\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMagnet Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNeodymium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Handling (RMS)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e200W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency Response\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150Hz – 16kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle (1 speaker)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the AXC NEO 5 sold as a pair or individually?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The AXC NEO 5 is sold individually — one speaker per order.

The NEO 5 uses a neodymium magnet and handles 200W RMS; the ZR05 uses a conventional magnet with an integrated bullet phase plug and handles 150W RMS at 93dB sensitivity. The NEO 5 is the higher-power option; the ZR05 offers higher sensitivity and the bullet phase plug for improved dispersion control.

Set a high-pass filter at 150–200Hz and a low-pass filter at 6–8kHz. A DSP amplifier with active crossover capability is the ideal solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What amplifier should I use with the AXC NEO 5?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: A dedicated amplifier channel rated 100–200W RMS is ideal. In a multi-way active system, a 4-channel or DSP amplifier with active crossover capability is the preferred solution.
