FAQs
If you’re building a high-output system where vocals, guitars, and snare need to stay loud and clean, the SV‑165‑NEO is a purpose-built 6.5" SPL midrange driver—not a coaxial and not a subwoofer. Each driver is rated at 4 ohms with 150W continuous handling and a published 97 dB sensitivity, which helps you reach strong output with less amplifier strain than many conventional midrange options.
The SV‑165‑NEO is engineered for real-world installs: its neodymium motor keeps size and weight down, while the water‑repellent pressed-paper cone and outdoor-focused treatments are designed to resist discoloration and oxidation over time. Fitment is frequently the deciding factor on motorcycles and tight door locations, so the official dimensions matter: plan around a ~5.64" cutout and ~2.25" mounting depth (and confirm clearance for wiring and mounting rings before ordering).
For best results, treat this as a midrange band: use an active crossover and protect the driver from deep bass. Hertz’s own documentation provides a strong starting point for SPL-style filtering, and your final crossover points should match your system layout (subwoofer presence, tweeter choice, and listening goals). This listing is sold as a pair (2 drivers); specifications are per driver unless stated otherwise.

Do these speakers come as a pair?
Yes—this Shopify listing is for two SV‑165‑NEO midrange drivers (pair). (Specs listed are per driver unless stated otherwise.)
Are these full-range speakers?
No. They are SPL midrange drivers rated 100 Hz–10 kHz, and they are intended to be used with crossovers and complementary drivers (often a subwoofer below and a tweeter above).
What crossover setting should I start with?
Hertz documentation shows a “best SPL performance” reference using a high-pass at 200 Hz with a 12 dB/oct slope for SV 165 Neo. Final settings depend on your enclosure/location and system layout.
What’s the mounting depth and cutout?
Official dimensions show ~2.25" mounting depth and ~5.64" cutout (metric equivalents provided in the official physical spec chart).
Do grilles come included?
No these speakers are open-faced.
What amplifier is suggested for this model?
Hertz 4.900 amplifier
