Diamond Audio MS652NEOS 6.5" Shallow-Mount Pro Coaxial Speakers — 2Ω or 4Ω
The Diamond Audio MS652NEOS is the shallow-mount version of Diamond Audio's high-output 6.5-inch MS NEO pro coaxial platform. Built for motorcycle, powersports, marine, and custom audio systems where mounting depth is limited, it combines horn-loaded high-frequency projection with a rigid carbon-fiber cone and lightweight neodymium motor structure.
Available in 2-ohm and 4-ohm versions, the MS652NEOS is rated at 200 watts RMS and uses a dual-voice-coil, bi-ampable architecture for advanced amplifier and DSP system configurations.
Pro Coaxial Output in a 2.74" Shallow-Mount Package
Designed for tight fairings, pods, doors, and custom motorcycle installations where a full-depth 6.5-inch pro coaxial will not fit.

Fitment warning: Shallow mount does not mean universal fitment. Verify the 5.63-inch cutout, 2.74-inch mounting depth, basket clearance, grille clearance, amplifier power, impedance, and complete system layout before ordering.
2.74" Shallow-Mount Pro Coaxial Design
The biggest advantage of the MS652NEOS is its reduced installation depth. At only 2.74 inches deep, it gives system builders additional clearance in motorcycle fairings, factory speaker locations, shallow pods, doors, and custom enclosures where the standard-depth MS652NEO may not fit.
The shallower chassis retains the core MS NEO architecture instead of moving to a conventional low-output automotive coaxial design.
200W RMS High-Output Pro Coaxial Performance
The MS652NEOS is designed for open-air systems where projection and efficiency are critical. Diamond Audio rates the shallow-mount platform at 200 watts RMS, providing substantial power handling from a compact 6.5-inch driver.
Its horn-loaded coaxial architecture helps maintain midrange and high-frequency presence against wind, road, engine, and exhaust noise.
Carbon-Fiber Cone and Neodymium Motor
The carbon-fiber cone provides a rigid, lightweight moving surface designed for responsive midrange and controlled midbass output at elevated playback levels.
A high-efficiency neodymium motor provides strong magnetic force while helping Diamond Audio reduce the overall depth and weight of the speaker assembly.
Horn-Loaded PEN High-Frequency Driver
The MS652NEOS uses a PEN — polyethylene naphthalate — high-frequency diaphragm integrated into its horn-loaded coaxial architecture.
The horn increases acoustic projection and efficiency, helping vocals and high-frequency information remain clear in motorcycle and other open-air listening environments.
Choose 2Ω or 4Ω
The MS652NEOS is available in separate 2-ohm and 4-ohm models. The correct impedance should be selected around the amplifier's output, number of speakers, channel configuration, wiring method, and final load presented to the amplifier.
2Ω — MS652NEO2S
The 2-ohm shallow model is suited to systems designed to take advantage of increased amplifier output at a lower channel impedance.
4Ω — MS652NEO4S
The 4-ohm shallow model provides additional flexibility for multi-speaker wiring and amplifier configurations requiring a higher final load.
Dual Voice Coil and Bi-Amp Capability
The MS652NEOS uses a dual-voice-coil, bi-ampable architecture that allows advanced system builders to configure amplification and DSP control around the needs of the complete system.
In a properly designed bi-amped configuration, amplifier and DSP channels can provide more independent control over crossover, output level, EQ, and timing.
Built for Motorcycle and Powersports Installations
The reduced mounting depth makes the MS652NEOS particularly useful in motorcycle installations where fairing, pod, enclosure, or factory-panel clearance limits the use of deeper high-output speakers.
- Harley-Davidson fairing speaker locations.
- Road Glide and Street Glide custom audio systems.
- Shallow lower-pod installations.
- Tour-pack speaker locations.
- Custom saddlebag speaker panels.
- Limited-depth fabricated enclosures.
- Slingshot and UTV audio systems.
- Marine and powersports installations.
Standard MS652NEO vs MS652NEOS Shallow Mount
| MS652NEO Standard Depth | 3.43″ |
| MS652NEOS Shallow Depth | 2.74″ |
| Depth Reduction | Approximately 0.69″ |
| MS652NEOS Cutout | 5.63″ |
| MS652NEOS Overall Diameter | 6.29″ |
Choose the shallow MS652NEOS when available mounting depth is the limiting factor. Do not assume the shallow version and standard version have identical external dimensions.
Installation and Tuning Notes
- Select the 2Ω or 4Ω version based on amplifier loading and complete system design.
- Verify amplifier RMS output at the selected impedance.
- Confirm the 5.63-inch mounting cutout before modifying any panel.
- Verify the full 2.74-inch mounting depth and rear clearance.
- Confirm the 6.29-inch overall diameter and grille clearance.
- Determine whether the speaker will be conventionally powered or bi-amped before wiring.
- Use appropriate crossover protection based on amplifier power and installation location.
- Secure mounting hardware for motorcycle vibration.
- Protect wiring and terminals from moisture, heat, abrasion, and moving components.
- Complete final DSP, EQ, crossover, level, and time-alignment tuning after the system is installed.

Need Help Choosing the Correct MS NEO?
The right speaker depends on mounting depth, amplifier output, impedance, number of speakers, wiring configuration, and DSP strategy. Garage Bagger Stereo can help determine whether the standard-depth or shallow MS652NEO platform is the better fit for your system.
