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 CXXM65.4 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.
