- We test the :
Beyma 6CX200nd/N
Euphoria EX6NCD
Diamond audio MP654
Rockford Fosgate TMS65
Ground Zero gzcf 6.5 spl
Hertz sx 165 neo
Mmats PA 601cx
All speakers tested using sound digital evo 800.4 bridged channel 400 watts rms .
Cascade audio 100 amp power supply
Lithium battery
Adjustable high pass filter in the amp was used (high pass settings explained in the video )
Finally a video about motorcycle audio with someone who knows what he’s talking about. Great info!
I would never spend 42 minutes on a video....except this one. So much info...thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to do your vlogs. Great example of a small business owner showing his passion for what he does.
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to do these videos. I’m new to the audio scene and have so much to learn but thanks to you I’m learning something new every video I watch.
We are blessed to have you because no one else is giving out this type of info
Always always overwhelming information and I can't get enough..lol sitting here with my notepad... you just changed the direction I was going with an up coming build and saved $$$
Mad respect Carlos, thank you so much. I have been waiting for this video to decide which direction I was going to go. Thanks for educating us/me. After months of watching I’m ready to tackle my upgrade. Starting with a 2016 RGU with stage II boom 600W.
Starting with the Braille G30H. Radio flash, DSR1 PNP. Audison power and ground blocks. Anybody who uses belleville washers for their connections understands power distribution. Once the bolt is tighten to torque it will not back out, not even under HD vibration. SD 2400.4 Evox 4ohm. Starting with 4 Ground Zero 6.5 GZCF. Cant give up saddlebag space so the new GZ yellow basket coax was a game changer for me. Once the 8in coax is released I will run the 4 6.5 in parallel on ch1 and 2 and a 8in in each saddle bag lid on ch 3 and 4. OFC wire of course 12ga speaker feeds.
Perfect 👌🏼 👍🏽
@@NVSAUDIO hey carlos 4 hertz sx 165 neo and a proper amp are they better than the new harley rockford fosgate stage 2 kit? Please let me know; thanks
We need a 2024 update please I know your a busy guy but we need it
Carlos has awesome customer service skills. You can tell that he cares about educating as well as building his business. It goes a long way when your installer is reachable and hands on!!!
Dude, I used to do car installation from the beginning. You could say I was one of the first by installing 2 JBL professional 15” subs into a 81 Honda civic back in 1983-84 when there was absolutely nothing but a small handful of speakers and amps on the market.
You are certainly in a nieche industry.
Well done. So much info and you explained it on point.
Keep doing your thing!!!
Thank You Carlos for a great video. I wish I had found you last year. Seeing that your a couple towns over from me, I will be stopping by
Excellent Review I Never Thought I Would Sit Through a 42 minute Review But After Watching It I Have Now Watched it 3 Times.
Congratulations Carlos And Thank You For Your Time You Are Not Obliged To Spend Your Time After Work On Doing This But Obviously You Love What Your Doing Not Just For The Money..
Big Ups From Greece After Watching Your Videos You Sir Are A Real Professional Business Man Looking After Your Customers Will Be Calling You From Greece You Have Just Won A Customer.
This dude is amazing. I wish he was in Arizona. Thank you Carlos!!!
I watched this whole video and Loved the information. You should have done a 2nd video which would be about 7 to 10 minutes long demonstrating a sound test on each one before adding special tune-up enhancements to each of the speakers - just plain and flat. This way, we could hear the difference between all of the speakers. That would be a Tourinofique' Part 2 to this review.
We appreciate you! I liked, subbed, and left a message on your shop's voicemail inquiring about purchasing speakers for my Ryker Rally 2023. Thanks.
Great video Carlos. Thanks for taking the time to show us these products.
One of the best videos you've made...u broke it down to a science and I mean everything...but I love my Hertz, I have four 6x9's neo, two 6.5 Neo's and two T-25 Neo's and I love em!!!! Loud and crystal clear with plenty of mid bass!!!!
I love hertz
I’ve been a dealer for 15 years !!!
@@NVSAUDIO Yes...absolutely amazing....if my 6.5's go out..I might check out those 6.5 ground zeros...lol...but I'm stuck on Hertz..and I absolutely love and appreciate your video's & your passion and knowledge for audio..and it shows..u know your 💩!!!!
What amp did you go with? Im thinking the same speakers

Excellent excellent video and dude you know your stuff I’m glad you’re in New Jersey wouldn’t trust my stuff with anybody else!!!👍🇺🇸😎
Thank you! I am an audio guy forever, get all the lingo, testing and ratings you get it and I am new to the HD world so hearing you apply it to the bike world has been absolutely awesome, my Ultra will be in your shop soon! Thx and keep it up!
We would definitely like an update to this video
You the man Carlos. Awesome video. Thanks for all the good info. 💯👍
Great video! Thanks for the information,I will stop by your shop when the weather bakes!!
You've gained my respect sir.
You're very articulate and knowledgeable. Thank you.
Thank you for such an in-depth review on a multitude of speakers and also giving feedback on what the end-user is trying to achieve, which may drive a different selection. Will certainly be doing my homework and adding rear audio when I go back through next year - not happy with the money invested to date with the 400W system 2 speaker upgrades I've added thus far.
Absoloutely love how manufacturers are putting HLCDs (horn-loaded compression driver) as a coaxial tweeter. Although I've not heard the particular driver shown in this video, I've been impressed with Mmats amps, subs and speakers.
Best 6.5” non coaxial review Carlos!
One heck of a video. Thanks for all the great info.
Love the vid, very informative from a practical perspective, explanatory, & not full of the manufacture's ambiguous language. I love getting to brass tax.
Hello,
I just wanted to thank you for taking the time out to make your videos with the amount of detail and information you provide. I have been watching the info you put out while putting together what system upgrade I'm doing on my 2014 SGS. The RFG Stage 3 has been my pick. Anyway thank you again for the video's, they are truly appreciated by a guy in Ohio.
Very interested in a video on the 8" coaxial and 1 for 10" mid-bass drivers.
I am working on both of those videos
@@NVSAUDIO hey carlos...if i upgrade the speakers of my stock radio on 2016 electra glide with 4 hertz SX 165 NEO and a proper amp; do i still need a dps? Waiting for your answer thanks. You are AWESOME
@@Morodachain
Yes
We use a dsp on every build
It will
Make
A good build
Sound better
@@NVSAUDIO thank you sir
I smoked the tweeters in my Rockford fairing speakers in like a week after adding an amp to my system but they didn't sound good before anyway. I did the bag cut in kit and put Polk 6x9's in and those are doing fine
Man I love this video. So much useful information it’s a must watch before making any purchase and deciding how hard you want to go. 💪🏼 I’ll b stoping by soon with my 2020 street glide special for a nice upgrade. Happy new year!
thanks for all you do brotha! my 09 ultra is the bomb from all your info. 2 800x4 running my yellow baskets,rockford 6x9 lid kit,and 8" hertz mid bass with SPL rings. all professionally wired by me with a DSP. :)
Great video! I got four of the diamonds on my 2020 road glide with subs! Love these speakers
Your hard work is much appreciated.
This is probably the best motorcycle audio info on yt thanks for TAKING the time to post.
Would the Hertz fit under the Rockford fosgate speaker grills for the bags and the fairing?
I enjoy your videos I have learned a lot thank you
Great Video Bro. Extremely informative.
Awesome video, lots of great info! Ty
Some invaluable information here thank you very much !
Carlos we need a NEW 6.5 speaker review!
Working on it
It’s going to be over a hour long 😩
@@NVSAUDIOCan’t Wait!
The GZ beats I was suprised how bright the tweeter plays.
Awesome vid. Great input.
We need a new 6.5 coaxial test!
Working on it
Way too many new speakers in the past 2 years 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Wish you were closer to Pittsburgh, PA
Thank you for your time and you seem very knowledgeable!
Thank you for the video!
I will come visit you someday and bring my bike
I look forward to it 👍🏽
When I do make the trip I will be coming from Durham NC
Great video! Can you do one on 6×9s?
I definitely will
Awesome video! Very informative
Amigo buenas tardes que bocinas 6.5 me recomiendas que sueñen recio y claro muchas gracias saludos desde Colima
Thank you for your time my brother
Just cut the reinforced ribs on the inside of the pod and where you cut..., drop the speaker in and lay mat over top. Did this on my 18 special rg with audio legion MR6N.
Great explanation of the various speakers. I'm looking for an all inclusive way for sound in a 4 speaker fairing setup without breaking the bank. Four - 5" speaker holes. Also your thoughts about an amp and double din head unit
A dealership near me will do a Rocford Fosgate front and rear for 2,500 with installation is it a good setup and worth the money ?
Ever tested the Audio Legion MR6N or MR8N speakers? I have the MR6N in the front fairing of my bike and the MR8N in my saddlebags and they are unreal. I highly recommend you check them out.
I’ve heard good things about them
They will land on my test bench soon I’m sure
@@NVSAUDIO I'd like to see how Audio Legion compares to Beyma, Euphoria, Diamond, and even Diamond's little brother Cerwin Vega. Ultimate 8" coax review!
You should do a comparison in plug n play systems
Rockford/soundz/wild boar/bike tronics/ etc......
It would be hard for me to do that because we don’t do plug and play kit here at my shop . We build all our custom harness in house .
Out of all the ones you mentioned
Soundz is hands down the best in my opinion but it’s also the most expensive.
@@NVSAUDIO
All the better
Give a truly unique non biased opinion
Best channel for HD audio!! Im in Minnesota was wondering if i was to call your shop for ?? Would you be ok with that. Thank you so so much!!!! Enjoy all your knowledge
Yes

Great video ,, more than helpful info-
Great video
Do a video on the top 6×9's
Coming up
Soon
@@NVSAUDIO bet!
You guys should check out JLAudio marine waterproof woofers/speakers.You can through them in the sea and take them out and they play as normal.
We’ve tried them
They don’t work well for Harley Davidson applications but they work really well on boats
Thanks for the knowledge, I just picked up a 06 streetglide and looking to upgrade this crappy stock system. Your input on this is AWESOME is there a set up you would recommend that sound good on a budget? I know your busy as hell from all the videos you make. Thank you in advance for your time and knowledge👏👏👏👏
Love your channel 👍🏼
Thank you for all the information
Everyone will recommend something different.. BUT I will tell you this.. I had fosgate put in my 07 SG.. and just had cicada put in my 14 SGS ... diamond audio radio going in this afternoon.. and fosgate is trash .. I had 5.25 in front in my 07.. updated to 6.5 w adapter rings hoping for better.. still.. mids are trash .. highs are good.. I'm going to be swapping out the fosgate speakers.. for cicada or hertz or db
Thanks for another awesome video I want to pull the trigger on a set of the diamond audio mp654 coaxial but my question for you @NVSAUDIO is would the ground zero produce more midbass because that's what I'm lacking so far
Speaker pod mod on batwing pods too, or just the Road Glide? Your videos are super helpful!! Thanks and keep them coming!
Awesome video!! Great info
Does the lowers need modification for the ground zero? T.I.A
BTW I normally forward long videos, not this one lol
Most lowers no modification needed but you will need to mount the speaker upside down ( the speaker terminals hit the bottom of the pods )
Some lowers require a 1/2 spacer
@@NVSAUDIO thank you!!! Keep bringing the videos👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Puedes actualizar el video incluyendo las nuevas Cicada Audio de favor
Great information. Will you be making a video comparing 8” speakers in the future? Thank you.
Best lower fairing speaker for "motley crue" style music.... using a Rockford PMX head unit and the 400 watt amp
Nice job! I am now much less ignorant about motorcycle audio... It really helped!
I was wondering if you have to do the fabrication to a 2020 Street glide. I want to put the 6.5 trumpet (Diamond Audio) speakers. But not sure if it will fit stock or if I will need to fabricate it. If you could please let me know I would really appreciate it. Thank you for your time.
Always good info
Love your videos! Always very informative! Will the Euphoria fit in a 2010 SG with the adapter ring? Thanks in Advance.
Im in nwk nj looking for a builder... my amp rack... is key. Like keyloc. 3 amp build... cxa everything... its nice you have a channel... most dont
Great video. I am seeing, including myself getting the Advanblack pods and lids. Durable, looks good and cheaper than Harley. My question is which of these 6x5s fit an Advanblack lower fairing and lids?
Lol I thought the polk MM 5.25 speakers on my goldwing were loud.
Ken the Damien speakers Fed on the lower Vent pots
Great video. You talked about figment on 14 & up, what fits in 98-13? Thank you for you time. I appreciate it
Following
Great video, thank you for all you hard work.
Do you know if the ground zero speakers will fit in advanblack speaker pod on a 2009 electra glide?
They will , you just need to use the included 1/2 spacer and you might have to turn the speaker upside down to get the terminals to clear
Really appreciate all the knowledge you give during your videos. I have a question for you. I’m toying with the idea of running the DA MP654 in the fairing and 2 6.5s in the lowers. What are your suggestions for powering the horns? I’m going to get the SD EVOX800.4 for the drivers. Do you think the Soundigital nano 250.2 will work. Any input is welcome. Forgot to mention, I do have a Rockford dsp
Thank you in advance
Great work as always.
Quick question. Should you (could you) mix speakers? I was thinking about GZ 6.5 in the front fairing and Hetrz 6.5 neo in the rear. Does that make any sense?
Definitely good information My only question is you said you do a hurt 6x9 with ground zero 6.5. or mmatz 6x9 with ground zero 6.5. why would you not match mmatz with mmatz or hertz with Hertz.. And can that ground zero 6.5 fit in the fairing not so much the lower fairing but the inner fairing
Awesome breakdown..which 6.5 is best for lowers with no bass in bag
Very informative and excellent video!
I'm wanting to do a new build on a 2016 RG, leaning towards the Ground Zero 6.5 in fairings and the Fosgate 6X9's in bags would the Sound Digital 800.4 amp be sufficient to push these 4 speakers or should I jump up to 1200 amp?
The 800 would
Work
Well
But the 1200 would give you way more mid bass .
I would run the 1200
@@NVSAUDIO Thanks for the quick reply 👍🏼
Does your shop ship custom build kits?
@@mexquint yes and if we don’t have what you need Chris From Garage Bagger stereo will

Was looking to upgrade my fairing speakers. Between the yellow basket ground zero and the diamond audio mp654 but now thinking of the diamond audio Mspro65 component speakers and the diamond audio m1srt tweeters. My question is won’t the diamond audio component with the tweeters have more mid bass and an overall better sound than the other two coaxial speakers?
I’m running the Diamond hxm65f4 speakers and micro 4v2 amp. Then I put Rockford fosgate speakers in rear lids with their lid kit. How’d I do?? Lol.
Perfect 👌🏼
The hxm65x4 is not as loud as the mp654 but they sound really good 👍🏽
Great videos and thanks for sharing all you know.. I have a rider bike with Hertz 600w HMP4D-HD amp 2 speaker setup. will the Ground Zero gzcf 6.5 spl be a great fit to add some base? i don't mind making the pod mods. thanks again.
Great video! Thanks
It seems none of the motorcycle speakers have enough motor behind the cone. I want massive magnets and big voice coils. I can waterproof most any speakers.
i need to find someone with your knowledge in Cali to install mine if not NJ here i come
I've just come across your page. Also hit that subscribe button. What's your take on poly cones and rubber surround. As far as them being water resistant? I feel like this is weatherproof to some extent. I haven't been fortunate enough to examine any so called weatherproof drivers or subs.
I would like to see speakers that fit the streetglide pods here you're showing the roadglide
They all fit the street glide pod with no mod that’s why I showed the road glide .
Look at this video
czcams.com/video/xO6PYrdJ4AY/video.html
@@NVSAUDIO ok thanks I'm doing a all diamond set up the diamond with the horn is on my list nice video by the way loaded with information
@@mrshooff2 the diamonds will drop right in no problem. With the larger magnet speakers you just have to sand down one of the plastic ribs inside the pod about a 1/4 inch
NO ONE gives out info like you do. Learn something each time. If I went with the no sub option and ground zero 6.5 in the front with hertz 6x9 in the bags. would you go with a sound digital 800.4 or i need a 1200.4???
Hello I'm Looking for a good setup for my 2013 Victory Cross Country could you help me with some ideals just looking to change the front fairing and adding to the saddlebags lids.
Any suggestion on speakers mounted in a 7” chrome headlight bucket?
do the street glide pods need modifications for the ground zeros?
Great reviews. How is ground Zero's 65X9 speakers for motorcycle's? I have a 2017 Road Glide. I have all 8 speakers on my bike now HD Stage 2 system. You liked the 6.5 GZ, but I need to know if you like thier 6X9's. Thank you!
Hi Carlos
First thanks for your video's your knowledge is priceless 👍
I have a question for you, I am in Germany with the military and there is basically nowhere to go when it comes to motorcycle audio. I have a 2008 road king with the rockford lid kit and the TMS69 speakers then I have the pbr 300x4 and the MTX Bluetooth controller my question for you is, I am going to install lowers and would like to know which 6,5 would be better the hertz or ground zero's, will the GZ fit in the lower pods without modification and will the pbr 300x4 be able to handle the 4 speakers?
Thanks
John
