Time to pick speakers for lowers and I need suggestions
I have been slowly building my audio setup. I currently have a Ken-wood 998 HU , BT4180 amp, and BT 7.1 in the upper faing on my 2010 SG. I just added a lower fairing and now I need to decide on my lowers. Below is a list of a couple of ideas, so I would like to hear input or suggestions.
BT Titan II 6.5
Kappa 62.11I 150W 6.5-Inch
Hertz HCX 165
HERTZ MILLE 6.5"
Thanks for your input.

I know the BT's are water proof and life time warranty but are any of the other ones water proof? If not , what is everyone doing to protect them during the rain rides? I would think that it would only take one time getting caught in the rain and $600 down the drain. Are you covering them with something?
Thanks

So I have narrowed it down to Hertz SV 165.1 SPL or the Hertz HCX 165.
I know the HCX are about 100 bucks cheaper, but not sure what else is different about them. I will spend the weekend reading on both of them.
Which set would be a better match with the BT4180 and a set of BT 7.1 in the upper fairing? I am not sure what to look for when matching them up. I know there is things like sensitivity response but not sure what it should be.

I think DD Audio vom6.5 is comparable to the sv but cheaper and marine rated. (Just comparing specs)

I think it was Gann that posted that those DD's wouldn't fit in the lower pods do to the size of the magnet.

The Hertz HCX are coaxial speakers with a Frequency response of 50 - 22k Hz and a Sensitivity / SPL of 92 dB
The Hertz SV are midrange drivers (no tweeter) with a Frequency response of 100 - 10k Hz and a Sensitivity / SPL of 97 dB
The HCX are going to produce more Low FQ's and a lot more High FQ's and some better SQ. Normally a lower sensitivity will take more power to get louder and in this case the SV's will be louder. But these SV's are designed to take a Lot of power.
So the question is do you want to hear the lower speakers going down the road?
My point is why invest in lower and have a pair of speakers you can't hear, unless your parked.
