AC650 / recommended drivers

Find the drivers for your AC650 build.

Here is a curated list of drivers you can use with your AC650. Tweeters and midranges sip power, so each channel has headroom to spare. The bass channel is the one to plan: choose a sensitive pro woofer, or pair a hi-fi woofer with a powered sub. Browse by class, sensitivity, brand, or size to find the pairing that fits your build.

Tweeters & mids

They sip power

A tweeter or midrange rarely needs more than a watt or two at normal levels. On 50W per channel you have headroom measured in tens of decibels. Sensitivity here is about tone, not loudness.

The woofer channel

The one to plan

Most hi-fi woofers sit at 86 to 89 dB. Two clean answers: pick a sensitive pro woofer (95 dB and up), or keep a hi-fi woofer and add a powered sub crossed around 80 Hz.

Next step

Ready to build?

Once you have your drivers, take them into the system builder: pick a 2-way or 3-way active layout, place a driver in each way, and see the power each one pulls, the headroom to spare, and a starting crossover for your AC650.

Open the system builder
Headroom on 50W

Set a driver's sensitivity and your listening distance to see the maximum clean SPL the AC650 delivers on 50 watts. Pro drivers (1W/1m) run even louder than the figure shown.

Max clean SPL at the seat, 50W 0 dB
