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. A 2Ω load asks more from the amplifier — more heat, more stress, and less margin for poor wiring or voltage drop. The CXX65.2 should be paired with an amplifier genuinely rated for 2Ω operation — such as the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/cicada-audio-flx500-4-4-channel-class-d-motorcycle-amplifier\"\u003eFLX500.4\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/cicada-audio-flx700-4-4-channel-motorcycle-amplifier\"\u003eFLX700.4\u003c\/a\u003e — and an install done properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 57 mm (2.26 in) — low-profile design suited to tight fairing cavities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting diameter (cutout):\u003c\/strong\u003e 138 mm (5.43 in).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 165 mm (6.5 in).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for 2014+ Harley-Davidson factory 6.5\" speaker locations — fairing, lower fairing, and Tour-Pak positions on Street Glide, Road Glide, Ultra Limited, CVO, and Trike models.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6.5-inch grills and mounting hardware included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with 2Ω-stable Harley audio systems — including the Harley OEM Boom!
