The ESB 3.69C is a versatile 6×9-inch convertible speaker designed for both coaxial convenience and component-grade performance. It enables a clean upgrade path: use it as a coaxial in doors or trunks, or convert it into a proper 2-way system by relocating the tweeter. With premium materials—treated paper cone, reinforced frame, silk dome tweeter—and a clever phase plug design when converted, it offers flexibility without sacrificing sound quality.
Specifications / Features:

Convertible Design:
• The system can function as a coaxial or be converted to a 2-way component arrangement by removing the coax tweeter mount and mounting the tweeter separately
• The woofer is adapted so that when the coax tweeter is removed, an ABS phase plug replaces it to maintain acoustic continuity in the midrange
• This design preserves linear response in both coaxial and separated component mode
Driver / Construction Features:
• Woofer cone: Treated paper cone (water-resistant coating)
• Surround: Rubber surround for linear motion and durability
• Voice Coil: Aluminum former with copper winding and vented magnetic design
• Basket / Frame: ABS reinforced with fiberglass for rigidity and minimal resonance
