It is rated at 300W RMS (600W peak) with 92dB sensitivity, and designed to fit 2014 and newer Harley-Davidson factory speaker locations. It uses a Carbon Matrix Composite™ cone, N45SH neodymium motor, 51mm (2.0\") flat-wound mid-bass coil and 44mm (1.75\") tweeter coil, with a Nanofram™ horn cover and external 12dB crossovers.

The changes are in the parts that decide how it behaves when hot and loud. The tweeter voice coil grows from 1.4\" to 1.75\", and the magnet steps up from N35SH to N45SH. The mid-bass coil is flat-wound on a TIL former, the basket gains Vortex Flow Venting™, and a cloth surround replaces the rubber. The published response tightens to 75Hz–20kHz ±3dB, and the warranty goes from 2 years to 3.
