Good 4 ohm speaker?

I'm looking for a good 4 ohm 6.5" speaker. Around $100-200 range. I'd like a set somewhat equivalent to the infinity 62.11i's. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks Mike

This is about as good as it gets for your motorcycle in that price range:

I'm starting to gather stuff up so I'll be prepared when I get my new bike. It's going to be a 2016 road glide. I'll be running a bt2180 amp. I have a pair of infinity 612m marine speakers in my lowers that I'll tranfer to the new bike. They are 4 ohm so I'll get a set of 4 ohm 6.5s for the fairing and run them in parallel. Has anyone tried the mb quart zk1-116?

On don't think you will find many folks that like the JL C2 or RF on a sled.
In the $200 or less range, I think Gann is all over it with the BT6.5 recommendation. RMS, Ohm, and Sensitivity should line up ok with the BT and your current marine speaks.
Now if u can come up with another hundo for your fairing speakers, your quality options will improve dramatically.

Damn, ur in the next tier of some pretty good stuff. BT 7.1, Hertz Millies, ARC Moto 602s (On sale if u shop a bit harder), Hertz Hi Energy HCX 165, Focal 165s, etc..... That just off the top of my cave man mind.

U might try and do some research on the IDs that Haze linked, as those look pretty damn good on paper. I personally have not heard them but ID is getting a lot of press lately.
