- 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!
We need a 2024 update please I know your a busy guy but we need it
Thank you for taking the time to do your vlogs. Great example of a small business owner showing his passion for what he does.
We are blessed to have you because no one else is giving out this type of info
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.
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
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 $$$
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!!!
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.
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
We would definitely like an update to this video
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.
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.
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

@@Tom-jw1pe I'm sorry, soundigital 800.4
This dude is amazing. I wish he was in Arizona. Thank you Carlos!!!
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!
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.
You the man Carlos. Awesome video. Thanks for all the good info. 💯👍
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!!!👍🇺🇸😎
You've gained my respect sir.
You're very articulate and knowledgeable. Thank you.
Great video! Thanks for the information,I will stop by your shop when the weather bakes!!
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
Best 6.5” non coaxial review Carlos!
Love the vid, very informative from a practical perspective, explanatory, & not full of the manufacture's ambiguous language. I love getting to brass tax.
Carlos we need a NEW 6.5 speaker review!
Working on it
It’s going to be over a hour long 😩
@@NVSAUDIOCan’t Wait!
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.
Amigo buenas tardes que bocinas 6.5 me recomiendas que sueñen recio y claro muchas gracias saludos desde Colima
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!
The GZ beats I was suprised how bright the tweeter plays.
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?
One heck of a video. Thanks for all the great info.
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
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. :)
Some invaluable information here thank you very much !
Great video! I got four of the diamonds on my 2020 road glide with subs! Love these speakers
Your hard work is much appreciated.
We need a new 6.5 coaxial test!
Working on it
Way too many new speakers in the past 2 years 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
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
I enjoy your videos I have learned a lot thank you
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.
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 ?
Awesome video, lots of great info! Ty
Great Video Bro. Extremely informative.
Wish you were closer to Pittsburgh, PA
Great video! Can you do one on 6×9s?
I definitely will
Thank you for your time and you seem very knowledgeable!
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
Awesome vid. Great input.
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
Puedes actualizar el video incluyendo las nuevas Cicada Audio de favor
Thank you for the video!
Thank you for your time my brother
Awesome video! Very informative
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
Best lower fairing speaker for "motley crue" style music.... using a Rockford PMX head unit and the 400 watt amp
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
908-527-6772
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
Do a video on the top 6×9's
Coming up
Soon
@@NVSAUDIO bet!
Great video
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👏👏👏👏
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
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.
Love your channel 👍🏼
Speaker pod mod on batwing pods too, or just the Road Glide? Your videos are super helpful!! Thanks and keep them coming!
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
Thank you for all the information
Lol I thought the polk MM 5.25 speakers on my goldwing were loud.
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👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Great information. Will you be making a video comparing 8” speakers in the future? Thank you.
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.
Great video ,, more than helpful info-
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?
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.
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 👍🏽
Where do you rate the Db Wdx6.5 moto cd speakers with this group?
Always good info
do the street glide pods need modifications for the ground zeros?
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?
Love your videos! Always very informative! Will the Euphoria fit in a 2010 SG with the adapter ring? Thanks in Advance.
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???
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
What about a can am Spyder? Any informative video, or 5.25 speakers
Great video. You talked about figment on 14 & up, what fits in 98-13? Thank you for you time. I appreciate it
Following
hertz sx 6.5 neo vs hertz millie pros 6.5 which is louder ??
Please help on installing audio on a softail harley.. no bags
whats the best 5 1/4 speakers with some bass in it
Ken the Damien speakers Fed on the lower Vent pots
i need to find someone with your knowledge in Cali to install mine if not NJ here i come
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.
Nice job! I am now much less ignorant about motorcycle audio... It really helped!
Carlos I know you know a lot about bikes but next time don’t cut the pods. You can heat the plastic and push it with a stick to make your speaker fit. I know someone who does it like that and it works really well and it looks cleaner you don’t want people taking your bike apart and see that you’ve got the shit off heat it and push it out it will work
Thank you Manuel but we have tried it both ways and heating the pod causes the pod to touch the fairing and rattle . There is only a 1/4 clearance between the pod and the fairing. I always let the customer know I’m going to cut the pods . If they don’t want them cut I order used pods on line for $100 and cut those and they keep their factory ones . I have done it both ways and cutting the pods sounds a lot better .
@@NVSAUDIO Don’t take it the wrong way my brother when it comes to music I know you know everything about it yes some thing that I saw that someone was doing and it works really good I don’t mean to tell you what to do when it comes to music don’t forget you are the king I’m learning from your videos every day
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
Any suggestion on speakers mounted in a 7” chrome headlight bucket?
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 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!
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.
