Hertz SV 165 NEO — Lightweight 6.5″ SPL Midrange for High-Output Harley Systems
The Hertz SV 165 NEO is a high-efficiency 6.5″ SPL midrange built for Harley riders who want strong, focused vocal projection without adding unnecessary weight to the fairing. With a lightweight neodymium motor, shallow depth, and outstanding sensitivity, this driver is ideal for multi-amp front stages and custom high-volume touring builds.
Key Features
- High-efficiency SPL midrange designed for loud, clear vocals at highway speeds.
- Lightweight neodymium magnet reduces fairing weight and improves handling.
- Shallow 65 mm mounting depth for easier installation in tight Harley fairings.
- 97 dB sensitivity provides high output with moderate amplifier power.
- 100–10,000 Hz response covers the essential vocal and instrument band.
- Pressed-paper cone with treated surround delivers controlled midrange at volume.
Why It Works on Harleys
- Reduced magnet weight lowers stress on Street Glide and Road Glide fairings.
- Excellent clarity cuts through wind, pipes, and open-road noise.
- Ideal for active systems using separate tweeters and mid-bass drivers.
- Shallow design helps with clearance in tight upper-fairing pods.
Recommended System Use
- Amplifier Power: 100–150 W RMS
- High-Pass Filter: 100–120 Hz @ 12–24 dB/octave
- Low-Pass Filter: 3,500–5,000 Hz when paired with separate tweeters
- Note: This is a dedicated midrange. Tweeters required for full-range playback.
Fitment
- Optimised for Harley-Davidson Touring upper fairings
- Suitable for custom fairing pods, lowers, or multi-driver setups
