Description
ARC Audio AS600 6.5" Midbass Driver
The ARC Audio AS600 is a premium 6.5-inch midbass driver engineered for high-performance mobile audio systems using active crossovers or DSP-controlled tuning. Designed for use in both 2-way and 3-way front stage configurations, the AS600 delivers strong midbass output, controlled response, and excellent clarity across its operating range.
With a wide usable bandwidth and high output capability, the AS600 can serve as the foundation of a high-resolution front stage when paired with the ARC Audio AS100 tweeter or combined with the AS250 wideband midrange in multi-way systems.
Motor and Basket Design
The AS600 is built on a rigid cast aluminum basket that provides a stable foundation for the driver’s motor and suspension components. A Y35 ferrite motor system delivers strong magnetic control, while an extended copper sleeve over the T-yoke helps reduce distortion and maintain linear performance during dynamic playback.
A 1.5-inch CCAW voice coil wound on a high-temperature Till former helps improve heat management and maintain consistent output during demanding listening conditions.
Cone and Suspension Engineering
The cone utilizes ARC Audio’s proprietary blend of aramid fiber, coconut fiber, and extracted pulp to balance stiffness and low mass. This construction supports accurate midbass reproduction while helping control unwanted resonance during high excursion.
A low-shore rubber surround and progressive Nomex spider maintain mechanical control and long-term reliability while allowing the driver to perform smoothly across its frequency range.
Flexible System Integration
The AS600 can also be configured for coaxial-style installations by mounting the ARC Audio AS100 tweeter into the center pole position, creating a compact active integrated coaxial solution for space-constrained installations.
With a 2.85-inch mounting depth and 5.76-inch cutout diameter, the AS600 is suitable for a wide range of factory replacement and custom installation applications.
