Rockford Fosgate T165 6 5 Inch Full Range
I just installed these speakers into the fairing of my 2012 Harley Davidson Street Glide. I used this in combination with the Rockford 300 watt amp. Rockford Fosgate PBR300X4 Punch BRT 300 Watt Ultra Compact 4 Channel Amplifier. I'll write the review for the amp in another write up. These apeakers are apparently very new and are replacing an outgoing full range model of speakers. I agree with the other reviewer that the amp can easily overpower these speakers in the harley application. I turned the gain on the amp for my setup a bit lower than the halfway mark. These speakers are a night and day difference compared to what was on the bike before. They are pretty clear and provide good range. The bass is a bit lacking for a 6.5" speaker when compared to other 6.5s that I've tried. I have experience with Diamond Audio, MB Quartz, Focal, Image Dynamics and what not in more of a component setting. These speakers give better range and bass but they also cost more and have dedicated crossovers.
The package includes the speakers, two grills, and some basic screws. It would have been nice if they included some speaker wire and connectors. Also included appears to be a mounting plate or adapter to modify a 6x9 opening to fix these speakers.
I'm giving 5 stars because for the price and function in my application (fairings of street glide) they work great. I can ride down the freeway and hear the music very clearly whereas before I was getting distortion and losing the details of certain sounds. Another tip for other SG owners is to get a good windshield and lower fairing vents or wings. This helps to direct air around you, give less turbulence and noise and allow you to enjoy your tunes. Happy Riding All!

BalasHapusMy good friend has been raving a about Rockford for years so I thought I'd give them a try. These are a night and day upgrade to my new 2013 Honda Accord Sport. I love the car but the stock speakers are awful, while the head unit pushes plenty of power. Installing these has remedied my dilemma, I've now got great mids and highs and a respectable amount of clean bass. I will be purchasing a second set soon for the rear deck to complete the package.
BalasHapusWow! Installed these in the rear of 350z to compliment the T-165-S that are intalled in the front. Sound is extremely crisp, base notes are strong.
BalasHapusI bought two pairs of these for my '08 Harley-Davidson FLHX Street Glide. I installed 2 in the fairing using Hawg Wired speaker adapters and two in my lower fairings using CVO speaker boxes. Sound is good, but the PBR300X4 amp can clearly over power these speakers, but for my use, they sound great.
