Deaf Bonce MFC-60 Review: Machete Component Set with Crossovers Included
Updated: Oct 6
The Deaf Bonce MFC-60 is a complete 6.5-inch two-way component speaker set from the Machete range: two woofers, two tweeters, two crossovers and two mounting kits, rated at 80 W RMS (160 W max) into 4 ohm with a quoted 91.5 dB SPL and a 60 Hz – 20 kHz response. Its Indian MRP is ₹12,490, the most expensive of the Machete component and coaxial sets we sell, and Alphard, the group behind Machete, describes it as an improved version of the MFC-615. It suits a buyer upgrading factory door speakers who wants a passive set that installs in one go and rewards a modest amplifier. Today's price is on our Deaf Bonce MFC-60 product page.
Key takeaways
A full passive kit: crossovers and mounting kits are in the box, unlike the MLC-60 and, going by our listing, the MFC-615.
80 W RMS and 160 W max at 4 ohm, with a quoted 91.5 dB SPL; Deaf Bonce recommends an 80 Hz, 12 dB/oct high-pass.
Alphard suggests an amplifier with at least 20–25% more power than the set's 80 W RMS rating.
No owner reviews or independent tests turned up, and the manual gives no mounting depth or cut-out size.

Figures come from Deaf Bonce's MFC-60 product page and the MFC-60 owner's manual. Neither describes the crossover's slopes or any tweeter level setting, and neither gives a mounting depth.
What's in the box, and why it matters
The crossovers are the headline here. Among the three Machete component sets we sell, the MFC-60 is the one whose box includes them, along with two mounting kits. That means it can be wired like a conventional passive set: one amplifier or head-unit channel per side, with the crossover splitting the signal between woofer and tweeter. Alphard's official Russian store page calls it a convenient, loud upgrade for factory speakers, with mid-bass drivers that suit standard 16 cm openings and new compact tweeters it says will fit any vehicle. Those are the maker's claims.
Alphard also calls the MFC-60 an improved analogue of the MFC-615, with refined tweeters and mid/bass drivers. The published figures barely move between the two: both are 80 W RMS sets, and the MFC-615's listing quotes 91.7 dB and 55 Hz – 20 kHz against this set's 91.5 dB and 60 Hz – 20 kHz. The crossovers in the box are the difference you'll notice at installation, since our MFC-615 listing shows none.
Head unit or amplifier?
With 91.5 dB quoted, the MFC-60 will play from a head unit, but an 80 W RMS rating is a hint that it's built for more power than a head unit's built-in amplifier provides. Alphard's advice is explicit: use an amplifier with at least 20–25% headroom over the 80 W RMS rating, which works out at roughly 100 W per channel at 4 ohm. Deaf Bonce's MLA-4120 (120 W × 4 at 4 ohm) and MFA-4.120 (120 W × 4) both clear that bar, and a four-channel amplifier leaves two channels for rear speakers.
Set the amplifier's high-pass at about 80 Hz, as Deaf Bonce recommends, so the woofers aren't asked for deep bass they can't reproduce, and add a subwoofer for the bottom octave. If your factory head unit has no RCA outputs, a converter such as the Deaf Bonce M6C feeds the amplifier.
What owners and reviewers say about the Deaf Bonce MFC-60
When we checked in October 2026, we found no owner reviews, forum discussions or independent measurements of the MFC-60. Deaf Bonce's product page and manual carry specifications only, and Alphard's store page shows no customer reviews. Several large retailer and forum sites blocked our access, so we couldn't search them.
So the only description of the sound that we found comes from the maker, and that's promotional. If you've fitted an MFC-60, we'd value your impressions, especially of how the tweeters balance against the woofers.
How it compares with the MLC-60, MFX-60 and Machete Fight 60
The MLC-60 (₹9,990 MRP) is the cheaper Lite component set: 65 W RMS, 89.7 dB and 65 Hz – 20 kHz, with no crossovers in the box. The MFX-60 (₹8,990) is a 50 W RMS coaxial, which Alphard says works best as rear support behind a component front stage, so it pairs naturally with an MFC-60 up front.
Don't confuse the MFC-60 with the similarly named Machete Fight 60 (₹10,990), a pair of 6.5-inch midrange speakers with no tweeters, rated at 100 W RMS and 90 Hz – 17 kHz. It's a midrange driver meant to work with separate tweeters, not a complete two-way set.
Who should buy it, and who shouldn't
Buy the MFC-60 if you want a complete passive component set for your front doors, plan to add an amplifier of about 100 W per channel, and value separate tweeters for a higher soundstage.
Look elsewhere if you're building an active system with a DSP, where the MFC-615 skips crossovers you won't use, or if budget is tight and modest power is enough, where the MLC-60 costs ₹2,500 less.
Installation notes for Indian cars
The manual gives no mounting depth or cut-out, so measure the depth behind the door opening with the window down, and check the factory opening before buying; adapter rings are common. Damp the door skin and seal the woofer to its mounting, since a leaky door wastes mid-bass; our damping guide shows how. Mount the crossovers where they'll stay dry and won't rattle, not low in the door where monsoon water collects.
Deaf Bonce quotes an operating range of +5 °C to +40 °C. A car parked in the sun in a north Indian summer gets far hotter inside than that, so let the cabin cool before playing loud. Aim the tweeters across the car from the A-pillars or sail panels. VA3 Car Studio in Ghaziabad offers professional installation and can make custom door baffles or speaker pods to suit.
Price and where to buy
The Deaf Bonce MFC-60 has an MRP of ₹12,490. We often sell below MRP, so check today's price on our MFC-60 product page, and ask us to check fitment for your car. Every set we sell is genuine Deaf Bonce stock.
The bottom line
The MFC-60 is the complete package among the Machete component sets we sell: crossovers and mounting kits included, 80 W RMS drivers, a quoted 91.5 dB and an improved design according to Alphard. Give it about 100 W per channel and a subwoofer, and it fits the conventional upgrade path well. Just go in knowing there are no independent reviews yet, and that the manual leaves the crossover design and mounting depth unstated.
Deaf Bonce MFC-60 FAQ
Does the Deaf Bonce MFC-60 include crossovers?
Yes. Deaf Bonce's manual lists two woofers, two tweeters, two crossovers and two mounting kits in the box, so it can be installed as a conventional passive component set.
What amplifier power does the MFC-60 need?
It is rated at 80 W RMS, and Alphard recommends an amplifier with at least 20–25% more power than that, roughly 100 W per channel at 4 ohm. Set a high-pass filter at about 80 Hz, as Deaf Bonce suggests.
Is the MFC-60 the same as the Machete Fight 60?
No. The MFC-60 is a two-way component set with tweeters and crossovers. The Machete Fight 60 is a pair of 6.5-inch midrange speakers with no tweeters, meant to be used alongside separate tweeters.
