Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- • Why Did the CM654 Not Fit My Factory Speaker Location?
One buyer reported that the CM654 sounded good but did not fit their vehicle's original speaker location. The 6.5-inch size does not guarantee direct factory fitment, so measuring the opening and mounting depth first is important.
- • Could the CM654 Magnet Interfere With the Door or Factory Enclosure?
A user installing these in a Jeep JK reported that the magnet required additional clearance and trimming of the factory plastic enclosure. The CM654 has a listed mounting depth of about 2.63 inches.
- • Why Did the Voice Coil Burn After Only a Short Test?
One customer reported frying the voice coils after briefly pushing the speakers too hard while experimenting with a bridged amplifier. The CM654 is rated for 250W RMS at 4 ohms, so amplifier gain, clipping, and wiring configuration need careful attention.
- • Does Bridging an Amplifier Put the CM654 at Risk?
A customer specifically advised against their own bridged setup after experiencing voice-coil failure. Bridging can substantially change the power delivered to a speaker, making amplifier output and impedance compatibility especially important.
- • Why Does the CM654 Sound Harsh After Installation?
Some online feedback describes a harsher or less balanced character when the speakers are not properly filtered or tuned. Because the CM654 is a dedicated midrange driver with a 120 Hz–10 kHz published response, crossover settings can significantly affect its sound.
- • Why Is There Less Bass Than Expected From the CM654?
One recent customer specifically noted that the bass was not particularly strong, while also recognizing that the CM654 is a midrange speaker intended to work with a subwoofer. Its published response begins at 120 Hz rather than extending into deep sub-bass.
- • Can the CM654 Be Damaged by Too Much Gain Even Before Reaching Full Rated Power?
A user reported that the speakers became very loud and clear but were damaged after excessive amplifier output during tuning. This highlights the importance of setting gain based on the speaker's actual RMS rating rather than simply turning the amplifier up until the desired volume is reached.
- • What If Only One CM654 Speaker Works Out of the Pair?
An older verified-purchase review reported receiving a pair in which only one speaker worked. If this happens, swapping the left and right speaker connections can help determine whether the problem follows the speaker or remains with the wiring/channel.
- • Will the CM654 Work Properly With Only a Factory Radio?
One buyer reported that the speakers sounded good when powered from a radio, while another customer said they needed an amplifier for their preferred performance. Orion rates each CM654 at 250W RMS, so the actual output will depend heavily on the available amplifier power and system tuning.
- • Why Does the CM654 Need More Installation Work Than a Normal 6.5-Inch Speaker?
Users have reported fabrication, bracket modification, and clearance work during installation. The CM654 measures 6.54 inches overall in diameter and has a substantial magnet structure, so a vehicle-specific adapter, spacer, or custom mounting solution may be necessary.
