None of those speakers are/should be used for "bass"

like haze said, none of those are for ''real bass'',
of those listed, for a fairing only front set up the PRV's come in first for me for low end,over the mmats. haven't tried the other 2 yet.

i didn't see this on the list, but it will provide some decent bass if you can make it fit.

Ditto! These are all midrange speakers.

some will be "warmer" than others and perhaps play better a bit lower than others, but are intended to be loud and clear

Maybe I should rephrase the question? Which Midrange speaker out of these 4 would have the best low end? It floors me that with all the technology out there that none of these speaker manufactures can design a 6.5" bass/sub woofer to give us just enough of that thump to match with a good set of coaxials? I don't need the bass to be vibrating my bags and fairings or tour pack I'm just looking for that perfect blend for my ears?

The Moto's and C5 JL's is about as good as it gets for 6.5 speakers with thump.
