Hertz publishes an Fs of 120 Hz on the NEO tech sheet (the Hertz web listing shows 110 Hz, so treat the figure as approximate either way). Crossing at or near resonance while feeding it close to full power pushes the cone past its linear travel, and that is what destroys these drivers.

In a low-mounted, outward-angled saddlebag installation, the straight-line path from speaker to rider is longer than in a fairing position and the surrounding noise floor is higher. The horn geometry concentrates the tweeter's energy toward the rider's position rather than dispersing it sideways — more of what the speaker produces goes where it needs to go. Titanium provides the rigidity and low mass required for clean extended high-frequency response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePolypropylene cone with Santoprene surround.\u003c\/strong\u003e A polypropylene woofer cone handles midrange and bass, co-moulded with a Santoprene surround. Santoprene is a thermoplastic rubber that maintains its elasticity through the temperature swings and moisture exposure of open-air riding — resisting the degradation that affects foam and rubber surrounds in saddlebag lid installations over time. Consistent surround compliance over the life of the installation maintains the speaker's frequency response and controlled excursion behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-output neodymium motor.\u003c\/strong\u003e A neodymium magnet motor delivers high efficiency and force factor in a compact form, keeping mounting depth within the clearance constraints of standard 6×9\" saddlebag lid kits while supporting the HTW.694's 92 dB sensitivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABS\/fibreglass basket.\u003c\/strong\u003e The glass fibre reinforced ABS basket is dimensionally stable under motorcycle vibration loads, UV-resistant, and unaffected by corrosion in the weathered environment of a saddlebag lid installation.

The 60 Hz – 20 kHz frequency response extends lower than the 6.5\" HTW.654, reflecting the larger 6×9\" cone area and the enclosure volume provided by the saddlebag lid cavity. A high-pass crossover at the amplifier above 60 Hz is recommended to protect the woofer from excessive low-frequency excursion at sustained high volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy 4Ω\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 4Ω speaker is compatible with the full range of aftermarket motorcycle amplifiers — making it the practical default for amplified builds where the amplifier is not specifically rated for 2Ω loads.

Kevlar is lighter and stiffer than IMPP or polypropylene, which means it moves more precisely and distorts less as output climbs. It is also dimensionally stable across a wide temperature range — important for a speaker that may sit in a closed fairing in Australian summer heat before being called on to perform at full output. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: the music stays clean at volume, not just at low level.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eN45H neodymium motor\u003c\/strong\u003e is a step up from the N35 used in the CX65 range. The same physical motor size produces a stronger magnetic field — more flux density in the gap, better voice coil control at high excursion, and the H-temperature grade ensures the magnet holds its strength under sustained thermal load. The voice coil is \u003cstrong\u003ecopper wound\u003c\/strong\u003e, chosen for conductivity and thermal handling under extended drive. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: tighter, more controlled output at high volume and consistent performance across a full day of riding.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tweeter is a \u003cstrong\u003e1.0-inch PEI dome\u003c\/strong\u003e loaded by the \u003cstrong\u003eV8™ Dispersion Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e — Cicada's 360° tweeter projection system. Where the DPSH® in the CX range delivers wide horizontal dispersion, the V8™ is the higher-level system, engineered to spread high-frequency energy more evenly across the full listening area than a conventional directional horn. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: consistent treble coverage as your head moves — no dead spots, no narrow sweet spot that disappears at speed.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ecustom-tooled polycarbonate basket\u003c\/strong\u003e is UV-stabilised and thermally resistant, maintaining driver alignment under the vibration and heat conditions of a motorcycle at speed. The \u003cstrong\u003ebuilt-in 6dB crossover\u003c\/strong\u003e is integrated into the assembly, protecting the tweeter from low-frequency energy without requiring an external crossover unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSensitivity and Frequency Coverage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 93 dB (1W\/1m), the CXX65.2 is a high-sensitivity driver for a 6.5-inch coaxial. The 1 dB difference from the CX65's 94 dB figure reflects the Kevlar cone's efficiency profile — Kevlar is stiffer and heavier than IMPP, which affects nominal sensitivity, but the return is more controlled behaviour at high output and better performance under sustained load. In a fairing position driven by a proper amplifier, that difference is not audible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrequency response runs 55 Hz – 20 kHz (±3 dB) — a tighter tolerance than the CX65's ±5 dB specification, meaning more consistent output across the frequency range. The 55 Hz lower limit gives genuine bass extension for a 6.5-inch driver. In a build running saddlebag speakers alongside, the fairing stage covers the upper frequencies while the rear stage handles the low end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy 2Ω — Power and Output\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA 2Ω speaker presents a lower electrical load to the amplifier than a 4Ω speaker. When the amplifier is rated for it, that lower load allows more power delivery — and on a motorcycle competing with wind noise and road noise at highway speed, that extra power is genuinely useful. An amplifier producing 100W RMS × 4 at 4Ω might produce 175W RMS × 4 at 2Ω from the same hardware. Harley's stock GTS fairing speakers are rated at 1.7Ω, so the CXX65.2 at 2Ω sits within the same design envelope and runs directly from the GTS as a plug-in upgrade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe trade-off is current demand.

The \u003cstrong\u003eShortening Ring\u003c\/strong\u003e in the motor gap reduces inductance at high frequencies, keeping distortion low at the top of the mid-bass range and maintaining a clean handoff to the tweeter. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: cleaner output at sustained volume, with the mid-bass staying controlled as power increases rather than compressing and hardening.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tweeter is a \u003cstrong\u003e1.0-inch PEI dome\u003c\/strong\u003e with Neodymium magnet, loaded by Cicada's \u003cstrong\u003eDPSH® (Dual-Phase Slot Horn)\u003c\/strong\u003e.

On a motorcycle at highway speed, the noise floor is high — wind, road, and mechanical noise all compete with the audio system. A speaker with genuine sensitivity extracts more output from available amplifier power, translating directly to more usable volume at the speeds you're actually riding at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrequency response runs 53.6 Hz – 20 kHz (±5 dB). The 6×9-inch cone area moves more air at lower frequencies than a 6.5-inch driver, giving the CX69.2 genuine mid-bass presence without the excursion demands that limit smaller drivers.

When the amplifier is rated for it, that lower load allows more power delivery — and on a motorcycle at highway speed where you're competing with wind and road noise, that extra power is what gives the rear stage presence. An amplifier producing 100W RMS × 4 at 4Ω might produce 175W RMS × 4 at 2Ω from the same hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe trade-off is current demand — a 2Ω load asks more from the amplifier in terms of heat and stress.

The larger 3-inch diaphragm moves more air per stroke than the 2-inch RR2TM — contributing to both the higher power handling (300W RMS vs 200W RMS) and the extended low-frequency reach (600 Hz with appropriate loading). The N35SH neodymium magnet structure delivers high flux density at low mass — a lighter motor assembly than ferrite at equivalent output.

The 110 dB sensitivity means serious output is achievable on relatively modest amplifier power — relevant in motorcycle builds where available amplifier channels are shared across a full front and rear stage. \u003cem\u003eOn the bike: the RR3TM produces a dense, aggressive high-frequency presentation — more forward-throw and more perceived loudness at highway speeds than conventional dome or ring radiator tweeters at the same power level.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe included \u003cstrong\u003e2.9 kHz \/ 6 dB passive crossovers\u003c\/strong\u003e provide basic high-pass protection. For active DSP builds, the crossover can be bypassed and the high-pass implemented at the amplifier or DSP, which is the recommended approach for maximum output and tuning control. \u003cem\u003eA system-level high-pass set above 1.2 kHz is strongly recommended to protect the motor from out-of-band content.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRR3TM vs RR2TM\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe RR3TM and RR2TM mount into the same five Cicada Acoustic Wave Guides and share the same overall system architecture. The RR3TM steps up in power handling (300W vs 200W RMS), sensitivity (110 dB vs 108 dB), motor weight (neodymium is lighter than ferrite), and maximum output headroom. The RR2TM's ferrite motor offers better thermal stability under continuous extreme load at lower cost.

Unlike a dome or ring radiator tweeter, a compression driver builds acoustic pressure at the throat of a waveguide, then uses the horn shape to control dispersion and extend throw.

Frequency response runs 70 Hz – 10 kHz (±3 dB) — the upper limit appropriate for mid-bass operation in a component system before the dedicated tweeter takes over.

The 8-inch format provides greater cone area and lower-frequency extension than the 6.5-inch or 6×9-inch variants — the CMC™ cone's stiffness keeps the larger driver's resonant characteristics predictable across the power levels available in this format. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: authoritative mid-bass from a custom 8-inch position, with the consistent character of a rigid cone at sustained output.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eOFC copper shorting ring\u003c\/strong\u003e is mounted in the motor gap — a conductive sleeve that counteracts the voice coil's inductance variation as the coil moves. The effect is a reduction in second and third harmonic distortion (which a fluctuating inductance otherwise generates) and a flatter impedance curve at higher frequencies, extending usable response. The CM8.2X's response to 20 kHz reflects the combined effect of the 8-inch cone's surface area and the shorting ring's upper-frequency extension — in an active DSP system, this gives flexibility to set the crossover point higher than 10 kHz if the tweeter being paired warrants it. In a full-range configuration, it means the CM8.2X covers the full audio range without a companion driver. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: clear upper mid-range and presence through to the top of the audio band — from a single 8-inch driver.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe motor is an \u003cstrong\u003eN35SH neodymium\u003c\/strong\u003e with H-grade temperature rating.

Frequency response runs 70 Hz – 20 kHz (±3 dB) — the full audio range from a single 8-inch driver.

Frequency response runs 70 Hz – 10 kHz (±3 dB) — the appropriate range for mid-bass operation in a component system.

Die-cast construction — as opposed to stamped steel — produces a dimensionally precise, rigid basket that maintains consistent voice coil gap geometry under vibration and thermal cycling. On a motorcycle, the driver lives in an environment of sustained chassis vibration across a wide temperature range; a basket that flexes under those conditions allows the coil to run off-axis in the gap, which increases distortion and accelerates coil wear. The die-cast aluminium basket prevents that, and its light weight relative to comparable steel baskets keeps the total driver mass lower than a stamped-steel-basket equivalent would be. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: a basket that keeps the coil centred in the gap through five years of Australian riding — and a driver that sounds as good in year five as it did on day one.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;

CMC™ is significantly stiffer than polypropylene at the same mass, which means the cone maintains its shape under high-excursion operation rather than flexing and distorting at the limits of travel. It is also weather-resistant: dimensionally stable across a wide temperature range and resistant to humidity and UV degradation. The stiffness-to-mass ratio directly determines how accurately the driver can reproduce the upper end of its frequency range — and at 1.8 kHz, a cone that flexes at high output will produce audible distortion before the voicecoil reaches its thermal limit. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: a mid-bass cone that stays accurate at 800W — no cone flex, no frequency response shift, no mechanical breakup at the limits of excursion.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eN42 Neodymium Motor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe motor uses an \u003cstrong\u003eN42 Neodymium Slug\u003c\/strong\u003e — a solid N42-grade neodymium magnet rather than the ring magnet arrangement typical in ferrite motors. N42 neodymium produces a high magnetic flux density with a fraction of the mass of an equivalent ferrite magnet. This makes the CMB10.S4NEO significantly lighter than the ferrite \u003ca href=\"\/products\/cicada-audio-cmb10-s4-midbass-10-inch\"\u003eCMB10.S4\u003c\/a\u003e for the same 800W RMS rating. The neodymium slug structure also typically produces a more focused magnetic field in the voice coil gap, which contributes to the driver's linearity at high excursion levels. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: 800W RMS of mid-bass output in a motor that doesn't require the bike to carry the extra weight of a ferrite structure — relevant on longer rides and on builds where lid weight directly affects handling.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e3-Inch Black Coat™ OFC Voice Coil\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e3-inch (76mm) 6-layer Black Coat™ OFC Copper voice coil\u003c\/strong\u003e is the thermal core of the CMB10.S4NEO's power handling. Six layers of oxygen-free copper winding maximise conductor cross-section in the gap, producing high current capacity and low DC resistance at the rated 4Ω impedance. Black Coat™ is Cicada's thermal treatment: it improves heat transfer between the coil winding and the former, allowing heat generated under sustained high-power operation to conduct away from the gap more efficiently than an untreated coil. The result is a sustained power rating — not a peak figure the driver reaches for a few seconds before thermal compression sets in. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: an 800W RMS rating that is genuinely available over a full session at highway speed, not just on a demo track.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVortex Flow Venting™ Basket and Cooling Architecture\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eheavy-duty die-cast aluminium basket\u003c\/strong\u003e uses Cicada's \u003cstrong\u003eVortex Flow Venting™\u003c\/strong\u003e geometry — vent apertures positioned and shaped to draw air through the basket and around the motor structure as the cone moves. This is active cooling: air circulation is driven by cone excursion rather than convection alone. Combined with the vented voice coil gap and the advanced heat-sink architecture at the motor, the cooling output scales with the driver's output level — the harder the driver is working, the more air it moves past the motor. The aluminium basket also provides the structural rigidity required to maintain consistent gap geometry under vibration and thermal cycling. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: a driver that runs cooler at high output levels than a sealed basket, and maintains consistent sensitivity and frequency response over an extended high-volume session.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Neodymium for Motorcycle Mid-Bass\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA ferrite magnet motor must be physically large to develop the magnetic flux required for high-sensitivity, high-power applications. Neodymium produces the same flux density in a much smaller, lighter structure. For a 10-inch mid-bass driver mounted in a Harley saddlebag lid or Tour-Pak enclosure, the weight saving at the motor is not trivial: it reduces load on the lid hardware, allows the overall enclosure to be lighter, and is a real consideration on a bike where sprung-weight distribution affects dynamics. The N42 grade used in the CMB10.S4NEO is a mid-high grade neodymium — strong enough to drive a 3-inch, 6-layer voice coil in a gap sized for 800W RMS, without requiring a physically large magnet to do it. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: 800W RMS of mid-bass capability in a driver that doesn't change how the bike feels under load — because the motor structure weighing it down is a fraction of the size of an equivalent ferrite.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;

Under sustained load at highway speed, the mid-bass cone is working hard across its entire excursion range while the integrated tweeter is simultaneously trying to reproduce high frequencies from the same motor.

Crossed over correctly with a dedicated tweeter, each driver handles only the band it is designed for. The CMB69.2's voice coil and cone manage mid-bass excursion without simultaneously trying to produce high frequencies; the tweeter reproduces highs without low-frequency content pushing against it. The result is a two-way system where both drivers operate within their designed parameters at sustained output. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: a rear stage that maintains definition and clarity at the volume levels needed to hear it at highway speed — not the softening and congestion of a coaxial being pushed past its comfort zone.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e2Ω vs 4Ω — Choosing the Right Version\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe CMB69.2 is a 2Ω driver.

Under sustained load at highway speed, the mid-bass cone works hard across its full excursion range while the integrated tweeter simultaneously reproduces high frequencies from the same motor.

Crossed over correctly with a dedicated tweeter, each driver handles only the band it is designed for. The CMB69.4's voice coil and cone manage mid-bass excursion without simultaneously producing high frequencies; the tweeter reproduces highs without low-frequency content pushing against it. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: a rear stage that maintains definition and clarity at the volume levels needed to hear it at highway speed — not the softening and congestion of a coaxial being pushed past its comfort zone.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy 4Ω — Bridged Amps and Thermal Margin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen an amplifier runs in bridged mode, it combines two channels to drive a single speaker pair with more power. The trade-off is that bridging halves the impedance the amplifier sees — a 4Ω speaker on a bridged channel presents a 2Ω load. Most quality amplifiers including the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/cicada-audio-flx700-4pro-ultra-compact-4-channel-dsp-amplifier\"\u003eFLX700.4PRO\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/cicada-audio-flx1400-4p-4-channel-dsp-pro-amplifier\"\u003eFLX1400.4PRO\u003c\/a\u003e are rated at 2Ω minimum in bridged mode. Running a 2Ω speaker bridged would present a 1Ω load — below safe operating limits for most amplifiers, and a configuration that risks amplifier damage under sustained load. The CMB69.4 is the correct mid-bass driver for any bridged rear-stage configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 4Ω in a standard stereo configuration, the CMB69.4 also gives the amplifier more thermal headroom — less current demand, less heat, more margin for sustained operation.

At 95 dB sensitivity and 200W RMS handling, with a horn-loaded titanium ring radiator tweeter, the MAS.802HT delivers a level of output and projection that no standard 6.5\" or 6×9\" speaker in this format can match — but it requires a build designed to accommodate it.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMore cone area means more air moved.

Sold as pair.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe CH65.2V2 builds on the horn coaxial format with three additions that matter in practice: a shortening ring that reduces inductance variation for tighter transient response, a removable threaded horn flange for straightforward colour customisation, and a crossover with an optional tweeter attenuator that lets you dial in treble level to suit the riding environment. Sensitivity is 99 dB — 2.6 dB above the CH65.2C Classic — which at the same amplifier power translates to meaningfully more output. For 2Ω amplifier builds where horn efficiency is already the design advantage, that extra headroom is audible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho This Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor 2Ω amplifier builds where maximum sensitivity and output are the priority, and for riders who want more control over the system — whether that's bi-amping the tweeter channel, adjusting treble level with the attenuator, or customising the horn colour to match the build. The CH65.2V2 is the V2 upgrade for existing CH65.2C users who want the performance improvements, and the correct choice for new builds running a dedicated 2Ω-rated amplifier. For bridged amplifier configurations or 4Ω builds, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/cicada-audio-ch65-4v2-6-5-pro-coaxial-horn-speakers\"\u003eCH65.4C\u003c\/a\u003e is the correct impedance choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat This Is Best For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum sensitivity from a factory 6.5-inch position\u003c\/strong\u003e — 99 dB at 1W\/1m is exceptional for a coaxial in a factory mounting location. Against a 91 dB conventional coaxial, the CH65.2V2 requires less than one-eighth the amplifier power to produce the same SPL, or delivers substantially more output at the same power. On a Harley at highway speed, where every decibel above wind and engine noise matters, this is the single most impactful specification on the sheet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBi-amp builds with a dedicated tweeter channel\u003c\/strong\u003e — the CH65.2V2 supports bi-amplification, with the horn tweeters wired to their own dedicated amplifier channel independent of the mid-bass.

The flange unscrews for colour modification: a practical accommodation for custom builds where speaker appearance is part of the design. The aluminium dome itself delivers a bright, low-distortion, extended high-frequency response — harder and more projected in character than a soft dome. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: the horn waveguide couples the tweeter's output more efficiently to the air than a free-air dome, which is a primary reason for the 99 dB sensitivity figure — and why the CH65.2V2 maintains clarity at highway speed where lower-sensitivity drivers struggle.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe mid-bass cone is \u003cstrong\u003ewater resistant treated paper\u003c\/strong\u003e — lightweight, thermally stable, and efficiently coupled to the motor.

As the voice coil moves, its inductance varies — and inductance variation causes non-linear distortion and blurs transient detail, particularly at higher output levels where coil excursion is greatest. The shortening ring creates a mirror current that opposes and cancels the inductance variation, holding the voice coil's electrical behaviour more linear across the excursion range. The practical result is lower distortion at high output and tighter, more controlled transient response — the driver tracks the signal more accurately when it is working hardest. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: at volume levels where other 6.5-inch drivers start to blur and compress, the CH65.2V2 remains controlled.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBi-Amp Capability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe CH65.2V2 supports bi-amplification — the horn tweeter and mid-bass cone can be driven from separate dedicated amplifier channels. In a conventional coaxial install, the passive crossover splits the amplifier signal between the tweeter and mid-bass. In a bi-amp configuration, the passive crossover is bypassed (or supplemented by the active crossover in the amplifier or DSP), and each driver receives its own dedicated channel with independent level, time alignment, and gain control. For builds using a DSP amplifier with per-channel processing, bi-amping the CH65.2V2 gives full control over the tweeter level and timing — a significant step up from passive crossover operation. Confirm crossover point and channel assignment with your DSP before wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCrossover and Tweeter Attenuator\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eexternal 12 dB crossover\u003c\/strong\u003e crosses over at 4 kHz with a 12 dB\/octave slope. It includes an \u003cstrong\u003eoptional tweeter attenuator resistor\u003c\/strong\u003e — a passive component that reduces tweeter output level relative to the mid-bass. On a Street Glide fairing where the upper midrange is already acoustically reinforced by the enclosure geometry, or for riders who prefer a less prominent treble balance, the attenuator resistor can be installed at the crossover to reduce tweeter level without EQ. It is optional: the default configuration runs without it, and the attenuator is a field-adjustable option at installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSensitivity — What 99 dB Means in Practice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 99 dB (1W\/1m), the CH65.2V2 is among the most sensitive 6.5-inch motorcycle coaxials available. The gap between 99 dB and a conventional 91 dB motorcycle speaker is 8 dB. That gap requires the 91 dB speaker to use approximately 6.3× the amplifier power to match the CH65.2V2's output at 1W. Compared to the CH65.2C Classic at 96.4 dB, the V2 is 2.6 dB more sensitive — roughly 1.8× the acoustic output at the same amplifier power. For a Harley at highway speed where 85–95 dB of ambient noise is normal, that efficiency advantage is not academic — it is the difference between a system that competes with the environment and one that doesn't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy 2Ω — Amplifier Pairing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDedicated motorcycle amplifiers including the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/cicada-audio-flx700-4pro-ultra-compact-4-channel-dsp-amplifier\"\u003eFLX700.4PRO\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/cicada-audio-flx1400-4-4-channel-motorcycle-amplifier\"\u003eFLX1400.4\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/cicada-audio-flx2000-4-4-channel-motorcycle-amplifier\"\u003eFLX2000.4\u003c\/a\u003e publish their rated output at 2Ω.

As the voice coil moves, its inductance varies — and inductance variation causes non-linear distortion and blurs transient detail, particularly at higher output levels where coil excursion is greatest. The shortening ring creates a mirror current that opposes and cancels the inductance variation, holding the voice coil’s electrical behaviour more linear across the excursion range. The practical result is lower distortion at high output and tighter, more controlled transient response. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: at volume levels where other 6.5-inch drivers start to blur and compress, the CH65.4V2 remains controlled.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBi-Amp Capability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe CH65.4V2 supports bi-amplification — the horn tweeter and mid-bass cone can be driven from separate dedicated amplifier channels. In a bi-amp configuration, the passive crossover is bypassed (or supplemented by the active crossover in a DSP), and each driver receives its own dedicated channel with independent level, time alignment, and gain control. For builds using a DSP amplifier with per-channel processing at 4Ω, bi-amping the CH65.4V2 gives full control over the tweeter level and timing relative to the mid-bass. Confirm crossover point and channel assignment with your DSP before wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCrossover and Tweeter Attenuator\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eexternal 12 dB crossover\u003c\/strong\u003e crosses over at 4 kHz with a 12 dB\/octave slope. It includes an \u003cstrong\u003eoptional tweeter attenuator resistor\u003c\/strong\u003e — a passive component that reduces tweeter output level relative to the mid-bass. On a Street Glide fairing where the upper midrange is already acoustically reinforced by the enclosure geometry, or for riders who prefer a less prominent treble balance, the attenuator resistor can be installed at the crossover to reduce tweeter level without EQ. Default configuration runs without it; the attenuator is a field-adjustable option at installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSensitivity — What 99 dB Means in Practice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 99 dB (1W\/1m), the CH65.4V2 is among the most sensitive 6.5-inch motorcycle coaxials available. The gap between 99 dB and a conventional 91 dB motorcycle speaker is 8 dB — requiring the 91 dB speaker to use approximately 6.3× the amplifier power to match the CH65.4V2’s output at 1W. In a bridged amplifier configuration where per-channel power is already elevated, the 99 dB sensitivity means that elevated power translates into proportionally more SPL.

Unlike paper or untreated composite cones, Kevlar® doesn't soften or swell when exposed to humidity, and it holds its shape under sustained excursion at high output. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: the cone maintains its stiffness and linear behaviour through wet-weather riding and direct sun exposure in an external saddlebag or Tour-Pak™ position, without the gradual performance loss that moisture-absorbing cone materials suffer over time.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eN45H Neodymium Motor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eN45H Neodymium\u003c\/strong\u003e magnet delivers high magnetic flux density in a compact, lightweight motor assembly — directly contributing to the CXXM8.2's 93 dB sensitivity rating. A higher-efficiency motor means the speaker reaches a given output level with less amplifier power than a comparable ferrite design, and the reduced mass matters for Tour-Pak™ installs where every gram of added weight affects handling. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: a Tour-Pak™-mounted pair adds less unsprung weight than a ferrite-motor equivalent, with no compromise to output level or efficiency.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOFC Copper Voice Coils\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe voice coils use \u003cstrong\u003eOxygen-Free Copper (OFC)\u003c\/strong\u003e winding — a higher-purity conductor than standard copper alloys, offering lower electrical resistance and therefore less resistive heating at a given power level. Lower heat generation extends the coil's sustainable power handling and reduces the risk of thermal compression during sustained output. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: the voice coils run cooler at sustained volume, helping the CXXM8.2 hold its output level through extended highway riding rather than gradually compressing as the coil heats.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCustom-Tooled Polycarbonate Frame\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ecustom-tooled Polycarbonate frame\u003c\/strong\u003e is engineered to withstand extreme heat without softening or warping — a meaningful design choice for a speaker that may be mounted close to dark-coloured saddlebag or Tour-Pak™ surfaces under direct Australian sun. Polycarbonate's impact resistance also protects the frame from the vibration and mechanical stress of sustained highway riding. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: the frame holds its geometry and mounting integrity through a hot parked afternoon in direct sun and the continuous vibration of a long touring day.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy 2Ω — and Why It Suits This Application\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CXXM8.2's 2Ω voice coil is built for systems where the amplifier's channels are already rated to handle a 2Ω load and bridging isn't required.
