Mike I prefer a pro audio speaker in the lowers but with no settings I think you are limited to a coaxial speaker. It's the HPF I'm most concerned with. Generally the AD's is what I've used lately in lowers and rear pods when not running a pa speaker.

Thanks for the reply Alex, are you talking CX62..here's my dilemma, save my pennies for an adjustable amp for under the hood first...or go for the CX and yearn for the volume of a PA or SPL with a horn for down there! And also what's the diff between a SPL and a PA..thanks bro!

SPL is the name for the Hertz line. Pro Audio is the term used for that type of speaker.

I have the point source coax at the shop. They're pretty good, better bass than the AD's but the AD's have better SQ and seem louder. There are few pa's out there with a horn thru the vent pole but none that I've heard that sounded good. If you are putting them in your lowers I wouldn't bother hunting one down that has a horn or tweeter in it. There are way too many good options and honestly you won't need it.

Save your pennies/lunch money, work a hour over time each week. What ever it takes and do it the way you really want the first time. You'll be glad you did.

That's good advice Upland, but that ship has sailed ..started in 2008 with original Hog Tunes (32 rms), then Arc mini with 6.5 Polk DB's components, 5 1/4 Fosgates & Rainbows in TP pods, next SS 520 with KPS Focal's Comp. in fairing ($999 list, open box from Sonic $320) reamed out my TP pods & put 6.5 Arc then Focal in there, then purchased HD lowers and got BT Titan II's for those, then HD lids and put BT (HAT's) 6x9's in those (first on forum), then got 4180, then HAT Legatia SE's and Clarus tweets, then SS TN.900 in TP...sooo if you can picture Jim Mora saying "PLAYOFFS ... PLAYOFFS..You can picture me saying FIRST TIME..FIRST TIME...LOL

Good luck on your quest!

Thanks upland...yeah chasing the unicornoh wait there it is...... crap!... just a damn chicken crossing the road...why!! LOL OH yeah I forgot the Alpine 9886 and Kenwood 998, and the BT 7.1 pods...it never ends, after the meet and greet it got me thinking maybe I could.....
I was over on road trips, I see your heading to GNP, I left a comment to check out the Glacier Park lodge in the SE corner...cool lobby with giant tree trunks as part of the infrastructure! Going to the Sun rd. is gonna blow your mind, the east side loop is nice rte 89 to 49 to rte 2 down to the Glacier Park Lodge. If you get a chance ride around Flathead Lake! If you can fit it in there's a awesome ride South of Missoula, Rte 12 heading East over Lolo Pass into Idaho, you follow the Lochsa river curving through a magnificent valley that keeps getting better and better..its an amazing ride!! Big yellow road sign at the beginning of the ride saying...CAUTION 77 MILES OF CURVES AHEAD! Have a blast man!
