After running Polks for about year and a half, one of the crossovers blew on me. I had it repaired once, but now it seems to be living its final days, there are absolutely no signals from Tweeter now and i have no other way than to replace the speakers altogether.
I have the speakers mounted on Lower's on a Fatboy and am looking for suggestions to replace them with a more louder speaker set since MM6501 are no longer available and MM6502 are out of my budget and moreover, they are now 4ohm's and i am running PBR300x2
I can still get Kappa's but they are rated at 75W each and not sure if they can be louder than polks.
lucksin, have you checked out the regurgitated TP pod thread with the new Polk MM652's that are rated in it...the Ad CX 62's also mentioned in that thread are a good option. I'm running the BT Titan II's (HAT's) in my lowers and they sound good down there. There are also good PA options (MMats and PRV's) that will give you more volume in your lowers. I'm sure some of the guy's that have run PA type speakers in their lowers will chime in.

Please help.
those kappa infinity will easily handle 150w all day long
not exactly sure how you have speakers mounted to you engine guard, perhaps you could elaborate or pist a pic?

Mike, yes i did, apart from Polk MM1 nothing else seems to be available where I put. and Polk MM1 are 93db compared to Kappas at 95db.
I wasnt sure how loud Polk new MM1 series would be and being on a fund crunch at the moment, I can take lesser of a risk.
@yooperhog, my main motive is to get an audible volume on highway speed at the moment. And here's the link to my thread where I installed lower fairing on a fatboy:
