Pwx are huge. Both the basket and magnet are large.
The UN on the other hand is very efficient with a decent sound. 8” UN is even better

My ears don't care for the PWX 6.5 or 8. Low tier SQ.

I run the UN65 in my Road Glide fairing. I like them so far. Still playing with tuning on the entire system.

Zach,
What else are you running with them? Are you running tweets up in the fairing too?

Thanks!

As noted above the PWX 6.5 have a large magnet and a deep mount depth. They WILL NOT fit in a Rushmore batwing fairing on BT brackets. The may fit in a set of lower fairings with a spacer to move them out a bit. The only spot on a sled they would work is in the saddle bag lids with an adapter from 6x9/5x7 to 6.5.

I've got a set of VOB3's with them in the fairing. UN's are running off an SD800.4, B3's off a JLXD400. DSR-1 is in play but will soon be swapped for a DSI-2.
