Damn Vibe Audio.....Bunkers digging skills run deep if you found those! I considered their 6.5's.

in a few weeks I'll grab a set of DD 6x9 and share my thoughts. For bass the Arc 692 is the best I've heard but very low sensitivity. They need power, but I may have a fairing second amp solution for that soon that's cost effective.

 

More thump than the 6900's?

 

100% more bass.

The 6900 play louder with less power and cost half as much, that's the attraction to them.

 

Ordering the DD DX6x9s tomorrow.
Today bought the NVX MVPA4 from wallyworld for 150.00.

 

Just out of curiosity... How much juice do those 692's need to pound? 150? 200? More?

 

Yup, the L7 12s i had rocked just as good as the JL W3 15s in my ext cab S-10

 

The Pioneer 6900s like around 150W. The Arc Moto 692s sounded good up to 225-250W. I kept the rhe 692s around 225 to keep the tweeters from frying.

 

Imho, the Moto 692 are awesome inside the bags for the bass. For lids rolling down the road the characteristics of the 6900s are what u want. Great highs and damn good mids and lows. Just depends on power available and the application but for rolling down the road with lids and traditional amp setups, u will get the most return from the 6900s.

Yes on a traditional set up. If you are running pro audio speakers and horns up front i think you get plenty of volume from that and need to find serious bass from the back for "balance".....kinda like running a sub, and the Arc's give you better bass. It just takes power to get there because pa speakers and horn can be so damn loud and the Arc's don't get there that easily. The pioneers do. I think it's really set up dependant and that could be anything from how many speakers to how many amps, amps in the bags, etc.

I say put 6X9's in the fairing and 8's inside the bags!!! or 8's in the lids AND inside the bags.

 

Looking forward to hear your thoughts. I haven't ordered the 6900's yet
