It fits a standard 6.5\" speaker mount location directly, with no custom cutting required. Sold as a matched pair with 100W RMS power handling each, a Kevlar® cone, N45H Neodymium motor, OFC copper voice coils, and a custom-tooled Polycarbonate frame, the CXXM65.2 is a Rain or Shine™-rated, all-weather design built to handle direct sun and moisture exposure in an external mounting position.

The two variants are otherwise identical — same cone, motor, frame, and power handling — the only difference is voice coil impedance. This 2Ω version is the correct choice if your amplifier's channels are 2Ω-stable; choose the CXXM65.4 if your channels are rated for a 4Ω load. Either way, run one amplifier channel per speaker and match the power to the 100W RMS rating, rather than bridging a high-output amp into the pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho This Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CXXM65.2 is for Harley-Davidson Touring riders fitting a 6.5\" mid-bass pair into a standard saddlebag lid, Tour-Pak™ enclosure, or lower fairing speaker mount — no custom cutting or adaptor plate needed, it drops straight into a standard 6.5\" location.
