Description
RD65 — 6.5-Inch 2-Way Component Speaker System
RD65 is the simpler RD choice when the vehicle already gives you a 6.5-inch woofer location and a separate tweeter location. It uses a fiberglass-cone woofer, 1-inch silk soft-dome tweeter and passive 2-way crossovers, so the complete left/right front stage can run from one stereo amplifier pair without adding a dedicated midrange channel or fabrication location.
SMS would choose RD65 over RD365 when installation simplicity matters, when there is no sensible 3.5-inch dash or upper-door location, or when the system does not justify the extra channels and tuning complexity of a 3-way front stage. Recoil publishes 60W RMS / 150W peak per side, or 120W RMS / 300W peak for the pair.
