Cerwin Vega CER-V65 6.5" 2-Way Coaxial Speakers

The Cerwin Vega V65 is a pair of 6.5-inch, 2-way coaxial car speakers designed for factory-speaker replacement and general system upgrades. Its coaxial layout combines the woofer and tweeter in each speaker for a compact installation. The set is intended for vehicles that use compatible 6.5-inch speaker locations.

With 120 watts RMS and 360 watts maximum power handling, the V65 is suited to systems using an aftermarket amplifier or a capable head unit. Its 4-ohm nominal impedance is common in car audio applications. The 88 dB sensitivity and 89 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response describe a balanced full-range speaker intended to cover midbass, midrange, and treble duties.

A hybrid carbon fiber and polypropylene cone provides the woofer diaphragm, while a Santoprene rubber surround supports cone movement. This construction is designed to combine rigidity with durability in an automotive environment. A strontium ferrite woofer magnet supports the low-frequency driver assembly.

The V65 uses a dynamically balanced silk dome tweeter with a neodymium magnet for high-frequency reproduction. An integrated crossover directs frequencies between the woofer and tweeter. Built-in tweeter protection is included to help safeguard the high-frequency section during operation.

For a practical upgrade path, the V65 can be used as a replacement pair in compatible front or rear factory locations. The speakers include mesh steel grilles and speaker fitment adapters, which can be useful when installing in custom panels or non-factory mounting locations. Confirm the vehicle's available mounting depth, cutout size, wiring polarity, and amplifier compatibility before installation.

Key Features

• 6.5-Inch 2-Way Coaxial Design: Combines woofer and tweeter functions in each speaker.
• 120W RMS Power Handling: Supports use with appropriately matched aftermarket amplification.
• Hybrid Carbon Fiber/Polypropylene Cone: Provides a rigid, durable woofer diaphragm.
• Santoprene Rubber Surround: Supports cone excursion and long-term durability.
• Silk Dome Tweeter: Handles high frequencies with a neodymium tweeter magnet.
• Integrated Crossover Protection: Directs frequencies and protects the tweeter section.

Design & Installation

The V65 uses a powder-coated, rigid stamped steel basket to support the speaker assembly. Its hybrid carbon fiber/polypropylene cone, Santoprene rubber surround, silk dome tweeter, neodymium tweeter magnet, and strontium ferrite woofer magnet are part of the Vega Series design. Mesh steel grilles are included for installations where the speaker face needs protection.

Check the vehicle's speaker opening against the 4.88-inch cutout diameter, 6.26-inch overall diameter, and 1.79-inch mounting depth before purchase. Mount the speaker securely on a flat baffle and maintain a good seal around the frame to help separate front and rear sound waves. Use proper polarity and pair the speakers with an amplifier or source compatible with a 4-ohm load and the stated power-handling rating.
