Rockford Fosgate TMS65 6.5" Harley-Davidson Speakers

The Rockford Fosgate TMS65 is a pair of 6.5-inch full-range coaxial motorcycle speakers made as a factory-location upgrade for select Harley-Davidson touring motorcycles. They replace compatible original speakers in fairing and Tour-Pak locations while retaining the factory-style mounting arrangement and speaker connections. This makes them a practical option for riders seeking clearer sound from the existing motorcycle audio system.

Each TMS65 combines a 6.5-inch woofer with a centrally mounted 25mm film-dome tweeter in a compact two-way coaxial design. The speakers are rated for 75 watts RMS and 150 watts maximum power handling at 4 ohms. Their high-efficiency design is intended to preserve vocal and high-frequency detail in the open-air motorcycle environment.

A neodymium ring-magnet motor drives the reinforced polypropylene woofer cone, while a Santoprene VAST surround supports cone movement. The tweeter uses an integrated phase plug and low-profile coaxial layout. An integrated 6dB-per-octave high-pass crossover with a high-power polyester capacitor protects the tweeter without requiring a separate external crossover box.

The TMS65 uses Element Ready weather- and water-resistant construction for motorcycle use. Its Santoprene front isolation spider joins the tweeter housing and cone assembly, while the poly-cotton spider, glass-reinforced polymer frame, and integrated terminals support a purpose-built installation. Rockford Fosgate also lists the speaker as CEA-2031 compliant and Klippel verified.

For an expanded Harley-Davidson audio system, the TMS65 can be used as a replacement in supported fairing or Tour-Pak locations and paired with appropriately matched amplification. The speakers retain a 4-ohm load and use factory hardware where applicable. Included grille sets support the intended fairing and rear Tour-Pak applications rather than requiring a universal aftermarket grille solution.

Key Features

• 6.5-Inch Coaxial Design: Combines woofer and tweeter in one direct-fit speaker assembly.
• 75W RMS Handling: Supports properly matched motorcycle audio amplification.
• 25mm Film-Dome Tweeter: Delivers detailed upper-frequency reproduction with an integrated phase plug.
• Element Ready Construction: Helps resist weather and water exposure on the road.
• Neodymium Motor: Provides efficient magnetic drive in a compact structure.
• Included Application Grilles: Supplies grille sets for supported fairing and Tour-Pak locations.

Design & Installation

The TMS65 uses a carbon-fiber-reinforced polypropylene cone co-molded with a Santoprene VAST surround, plus a Santoprene front isolation spider for weather resistance around the coaxial assembly. A high-temperature glass-reinforced polymer frame, neodymium ring-magnet motor, poly-cotton spider, and discreet tweeter lead are integrated into the speaker design. The low-profile coaxial tweeter and integrated crossover help keep the package suitable for the factory speaker locations.

Installation uses the motorcycle's factory speaker hardware and factory-style speaker connectors on compatible applications. The kit includes a pair of speakers plus separate grille pairs for 2014-and-up Street Glide, 2015-and-up Road Glide, and 2014-and-up Tour-Pak locations. Disconnect the motorcycle battery before installation, align the speaker with the factory pod pins, observe terminal polarity, and avoid overtightening screws in plastic speaker pods.
