Read 1 Review or

The Dayton Audio MX6-22 subwoofer packs impressive performance into a compact 6-1/2" frame, allowing surprisingly deep and powerful bass from places where larger subs simply won’t fit. Its long-throw design, vented architecture, and distortion-taming aluminum shorting sleeve keep the low end tight, clean, and powerful whether you drop it into a home build or a car audio project. Its modern, seamless look fits any setup, and the robust build stands strong during demanding low-frequency bursts. Thanks to its dual 2-ohm voice coils, the MX6-22 can be compatible with most amplifiers and brings full, satisfying bass to a wide range of installations.

Key Features

  • Long-throw motor and low resonance frequency deliver powerful low-frequency output from compact enclosures
  • Full-coverage concave dust cap reinforces the paper cone and creates a clean modern appearance
  • Aluminum shorting sleeve stabilizes inductance for lower distortion across the operating range
  • Vented frame, vented pole piece, and gap vents improve airflow to reduce heat buildup and compression
  • Surround profile covers the frame for a seamless look and increased adhesive bonding area
  • Precision-tooled steel frame provides the structural clearance needed for high travel limits
  • Dual 2-ohm voice coils allow flexible wiring options for optimal amplifier loading

Designed for Performance That Exceeds Its Size

The Dayton Audio MX6-22 is engineered for compact systems that require deep, accurate bass from a small footprint. Its long-excursion behavior, low distortion performance, and wide usable bandwidth allow it to deliver low-frequency output far beyond what most 6-1/2" drivers can provide. Whether used in home or car audio, mobile sound systems, gaming rigs, or studio applications, it produces powerful bass where enclosure volume is limited.

Dual 2-ohm voice coils give system designers excellent flexibility when choosing amplifiers. Series or parallel wiring configurations allow the MX6-22 to extract the most from a variety of home and mobile amplifiers, making it especially effective in car audio systems where strong bass must come from a very small enclosure.

Premium Build Quality Crafted for Real-World Performance

The MX6-22 was developed to offer exceptional performance at an attractive price. Dayton Audio invested in custom toolings, premium components, and refined mechanical geometries to deliver an impressive performance-to-value ratio.

Its paper cone is paired with a full-coverage inverted dust cap that completely fills the cone profile. This creates a clean, modern appearance while increasing overall stiffness for stable pistonic motion during high excursion. The custom rubber surround supports extended stroke and includes reinforcement to resist fatigue over years of repeated use. Its wraparound design increases bonding surface area, improving long-term durability when the driver is pushed hard.

A precision-tooled steel frame provides the mechanical clearance required for deep excursion and supports the large ferrite magnet structure. Combined, these elements allow the MX6-22 to deliver output and aesthetics that exceed expectations for its price class.

Built To Stay Cool So the Performance Stays Strong

Thermal performance is a defining strength of the MX6-22. Its airflow strategy is designed to maintain stability and prevent heat buildup during extended operation.

The 4-layer copper voice coil is wound on a vented aluminum former, allowing heat to transfer rapidly away from the coil and into the moving air stream. A four-layer winding increases thermal mass and improves power handling while maintaining control and sensitivity. Airflow is enhanced further through venting above and below the spider, continuously flushing heat away from the motor and coil.

A vented pole piece and gap vents introduce additional cooling pathways as the coil moves through the magnetic field. These combined features enable the MX6-22 to handle up to 70 watts RMS with very low power compression, maintaining consistent performance during demanding program material.

Optimized Motor Symmetry for Clean, Accurate Bass

The MX6-22 features a high-energy motor engineered for linearity and precision across its full excursion range. The BL curve remains symmetrical during both inward and outward travel, producing tight, controlled bass even when operating near the limits of its stroke.

An internal aluminum shorting sleeve reduces inductance variation as the coil moves, lowering distortion and smoothing frequency response. This yields cleaner midbass reproduction, better clarity under high-output conditions, and improved predictability when integrating with main speakers.

The strong motor force contributes to the driver’s low Qts, making it particularly well suited for compact sealed or vented enclosures. With dual 2-ohm voice coils, builders can configure the driver’s impedance to match a wide range of amplifiers, maximizing efficiency and system output.

The Small-Format Subwoofer Driver That Outperforms Expectations

The MX6-22 offers a powerful combination of deep excursion, low distortion, smart engineering, and outstanding value in a compact 6-1/2" format. Its vented motor, flexible dual-coil architecture, and modern visual design make it an ideal choice for high-performance small-box subwoofer systems.

From home theater micro-subs and furniture-integrated bass modules to automotive enclosures and custom installations, the MX6-22 provides reliable, high-impact low-frequency performance without requiring large cabinet volume. Designers benefit from strong output, refined engineering, and long-term durability backed by Dayton Audio’s commitment to performance.
