The Russound 5B65mk2-W is a 6.5-inch, two-way OutBack mk2 speaker designed to handle patios, decks, pool areas and porches through every season, while also working indoors in garages, workshops or on a shelf. An injection-molded polypropylene (IMPP) woofer is joined by a 1-inch Teteron tweeter for clear, detailed highs, all behind an aluminum grille that resists the elements.
Russound rates the 5B65mk2-W at 64 Hz - 20 kHz (+/-3 dB) with 91 dB SPL (2.83 V @ 1 m) sensitivity and a recommended amplifier range of 10 - 150 W RMS, giving fuller sound with more bass and output for larger decks and yards. Each cabinet measures 13" x 8.75" x 8.25" (33.02 x 22.22 x 20.95 cm) and weighs 7.1 lb (3.2 kg).
Installation is flexible. The heavy-duty aluminum bracket mounts to a flat wall or tucks into a corner, and it accepts U-bolts for pole mounting (U-bolts not listed as included). For indoor or temporary use, the included bookshelf foot lets the speaker stand on a shelf or tabletop. Connections are made with 12-gauge terminals that resist corrosion.
