About The Product

The Z-Series TS-Z65C component speaker system is an excellent way to add smooth, open sound quality to your car. Equipped with an 11.3 oz magnet to handle power up to 100 W RMS, Pioneer designed the Z-Series to harness a wealth of information and reproduce music incredibly close to the original performance. To ensure a premium audio experience, the Z-Series TS-Z65C uses Twaron®, a lightweight, heat-resistant aramid fiber that is exceptionally strong and stable, creating a woofer cone that confidently handles your music’s midrange and lows without undesirable resonance. An oversized aluminum dome tweeter with a VERTEX drive reproduces the most demanding tones while maintaining accuracy in high-level playback. With a frequency range as low as 32 Hz and up to 96,000 Hz, you can enjoy authentic reproduction of your finest recordings, with all the overtones and harmonics making music real. Compact, high-quality external crossover networks bring out the best in each driver, ensuring you experience seamless sound performance.

The Z-Series is based on highly advanced technology developed by Pioneer, utilizing carefully selected materials and parts, and benefiting from our decades of automotive loudspeaker design theory and testing expertise. Following Pioneer’s OPEN & SMOOTH™ sound concept, the Z-Series automotive loudspeakers feature smooth off-axis frequency response, superior directivity, and an extended frequency range, engineered specifically to produce dynamic, accurate sound quality for your car. The result is a purity of sound that achieves unprecedented audio artistry.

Hi-Res Audio Speaker

The quality of music recordings available to listeners has evolved. Hi-Res Audio recordings contain significantly more data compared to a standard CD recording and require a loudspeaker that is capable of smoothly reproducing frequencies of 40kHz or higher. The Z speakers are designed to deliver sound that’s clearer, sharper, and more complex—reproducing music that is closer to the original performance.

The Perfect Match

All Z-Series speakers feature the same tweeter without any alterations. From the largest component speaker set to the smallest 2-way coaxial speaker, you will get the same tweeter to ensure perfect tonal balance throughout the car, regardless of the size of speakers required for the front and rear.

Open & Smooth

Pioneer’s OPEN & SMOOTH sound concept ensures a seamless and smooth transition between the midrange and tweeter drivers, delivering a uniform off-axis frequency response. This design is optimized for automotive applications where one or more speakers are often aimed away from the listeners’ ears.

Twaron® Aramid Fiber

Twaron® is a synthetic aramid fiber that is very strong, heat-resistant, and rigid when woven into a cloth material. The woofer cones created with Twaron® are rigid and low mass with excellent damping characteristics. Strength and rigidity are important to maintain cone shape during challenging bass notes, while damping is critical for improving responsiveness and signal accuracy.

Tweeter – Balanced Dome

The Z tweeter’s aluminum alloy diaphragm allows the tweeter to remain pistonic and linear at ultrasonic frequencies. The unique diaphragm shape, developed using HSDOM (Harmonized Synthetic Diaphragm Optimum Method) computer analysis, accurately controls differential vibration produced by the diaphragm and improves high frequency dispersion. Pioneer’s Vertex Drive System improves the mechanical coupling of the voice coil and the tweeter diaphragm, reducing distortion and coloration caused by low damping and increasing power handling.

Mounting Kit

More than any other speaker, the positioning and mounting location of the tweeter is crucial to the stereo imaging of the system and the overall listening experience. To ensure installation flexibility, the Z component system tweeters are extremely compact and feature a unique swivel mount that allows precise aiming of high frequencies. Pioneer’s tri-position mounting kit (included) provides the flexibility to mount the tweeter using a variety of methods: flush mount, surface mount, or bracket mount, especially important for concealing the tweeter behind an original equipment tweeter grille in the vehicle dash or door.

CarSoundFit App

Pioneer’s Car Sound Fit app is a car sound simulator that lets you experience what your car could sound like using your own smartphone. You’ll be able to hear the difference between stock speakers and Pioneer’s various audio options, and see how the quality of Pioneer speakers can enhance your in-car experience.
