We are excited to announce that the updated version of the Easy 6.5X coaxial speakers will soon be available in the United States. These speakers retain the same high-quality 25 mm silk dome tweeter you know and love, while introducing several important improvements focused on mounting depth and tweeter attachment.
Key upgrades in the second version include:
- Durable steel basket for enhanced strength
- Increased tweeter angle to 20 degrees for better sound dispersion
- Improved tweeter mounting using both a screw and adhesive for greater durability
- Reduced mounting depth to 61 mm, making installation easier (2 mm less than the first version)
- Lower tweeter height above the mounting surface, now just 7.5 mm (10.5 mm less than the original version)
These improvements make the Easy 6.5X more versatile and easier to install without sacrificing the pristine sound quality Pride speakers are known for.
The new Easy 6.5X will be available soon through all official Pride dealers across the USA and on our website. Stay tuned for the release and get ready to upgrade your sound system with this refined classic.
How to Build a Demo Car That Turns Heads
A great demo car doesn’t just play loud — it commands attention, delivers jaw-dropping impact, and leaves a lasting impression. Whether you’re showcasing at meets, audio expos, or simply rolling through town, your vehicle becomes a mobile stage for what your audio system can do. But creating a demo build that stands out takes planning, precision, and serious hardware. Here’s how to build one — the Pride Audio way.
1. Start with a Vision
Before buying a single component, define the goal of your demo car. Is it purely for showcasing SPL levels? Or do you want something more versatile that demonstrates sound quality (SQ) and musicality as well? Decide whether your system will focus on:
- Pure SPL (Sound Pressure Level)
- SQ/SQL (Sound Quality + Loudness)
- A balanced demo for daily use and show purposes
Knowing your direction will determine the type of equipment you choose and how the system is tuned.
2. Choose the Right Gear – Go All In With Pride
When you’re building a system that needs to impress in both sound and presentation, choosing high-performance gear is critical. Pride Audio offers a full range of components perfect for this kind of build:
- MT Series Subwoofers: Deliver up to 15,000W RMS — these subs are built to shake concrete and dominate SPL lanes.
- SOLO Series Mids: Known for brutal midbass, high efficiency, and crowd-pleasing output
- HyperTone Horn Tweeters: High-frequency clarity that cuts through everything
- Professional Amplifiers: Engineered for stability, headroom, and real-world power delivery
- Power and Accessories: Heavy-gauge wiring, voltage monitoring, and smart distribution blocks
Each Pride product is tested in competition and demo cars around the world — built to be seen, heard, and felt.
3. Power Supply Matters
Demo cars draw serious current, especially when playing full tilt for extended periods. To avoid voltage drops and protect your system, you’ll need:
- High-output alternators (sometimes more than one)
- Secondary batteries (AGM or lithium)
- Upgraded wiring (0 AWG or larger)
- Solid grounds and proper distribution
Pride’s own demo cars feature multiple alternators, banks of batteries, and custom-built wiring harnesses to ensure power delivery stays stable.
4. Enclosure Design – It’s All About the Box
Your subwoofers are only as good as the enclosures behind them. For a demo vehicle, custom ported enclosures are a must. Tuning, volume, port area, and bracing all affect how your subs perform — especially at high SPL.
A few tips:
- Use double-layer baffles for strength
- Tune port frequency to match your demo style (30–45 Hz typical)
- Consider aesthetic elements: lighting, acrylic windows, branding
A well-designed box makes your system louder, cleaner, and more durable.
5. Showmanship Counts
Your build is more than an audio system — it’s a full experience. Think about how the install looks when your doors are open at a show. Add:
- Custom panels
- RGB or LED lighting
- Pride Audio logos
- Glass or plexi display windows
Make people want to take photos and videos. The more visually engaging your setup is, the more it will circulate online and attract attention at events.
6. Fine-Tuning and Safety
Your system must not only sound insane but also run reliably. Use a digital signal processor (DSP) to control frequency crossover, phase, and EQ settings. Tune for clarity, impact, and smooth transition between speakers.
Also, protect your investment:
- Use fuses and circuit breakers
- Install fans or ventilation where needed
- Secure all wiring and connections
A clean, protected system will keep you demoing longer without breakdowns.
A demo car is your calling card — a rolling showcase of your taste, your build skills, and your brand. With the right planning, components, and attention to detail, your system can be as unforgettable to hear as it is to see.With Pride Audio, you get more than just volume — you get real performance, proven gear, and community support from car audio enthusiasts around the world.

If you’re new to car audio, choosing the right speakers can feel overwhelming — but it’s also one of the most impactful upgrades you can make. While subwoofers provide the bass and low-end power, your midrange and full-range speakers handle the majority of the sound spectrum. This includes vocals, instruments, and critical details that bring your music to life. Whether you’re building a system from scratch or upgrading factory components, selecting the right speakers ensures that your audio setup performs at its full potential.
Why Speakers Matter More Than You Think
A great subwoofer can make your system shake, but without quality mid and high-frequency speakers, the sound will feel unbalanced or muddy. Full-range and midrange drivers define your system’s clarity, tone, and dynamics. That’s why understanding speaker characteristics is essential before buying.
Key Factors to Consider
1. Power Handling (RMS): Always pay attention to the RMS (continuous) power rating of a speaker — this is a more accurate measure than peak power. Your amplifier’s output should match or slightly exceed the speaker’s RMS rating for optimal performance. Underpowering a speaker can cause distortion, while overpowering can lead to damage.
2. Sensitivity: Measured in decibels (dB), sensitivity tells you how efficiently a speaker converts power into sound. A speaker with higher sensitivity (90 dB or more) will play louder with less power, making it a good choice for lower-wattage systems.
3. Build Materials: Durability and sound quality are heavily influenced by the materials used in a speaker’s construction. Look for rigid baskets, high-temperature voice coils, coated paper or composite cones, and sturdy dust caps. These elements ensure long-term reliability, especially in vehicles exposed to temperature swings and vibrations.
4. System Type and Configuration: Are you running a 2-way or 3-way setup? Do you plan to use passive crossovers, or are you going fully active with DSP tuning? Knowing your system layout helps determine what kind of drivers and tweeters you’ll need. For example, in 3-way systems, it’s critical to choose speakers with focused frequency ranges to avoid overlap.
Why Choose Pride Audio?
