I recall swapping some stuff around one time and my original Motos were only getting a little over 100w and they sounded noticeably warmer than they are known to.

Exactly!

Timpano TPT-MB6 Slim, ran through a DB Euphoria crossover with the DB tweeter.

I'm sure they would, the prob is it's a really small fairing. I had to make and mold in a 7"x9"x2" box to the bottom of the inner fairing for the Arc 600 that's pushing the Beyma woofer on 2 channels and the Beyma and PRV horns in the bags on the other 2 channels. I'm using a B52 to power the PRV 8" 600x in the bags, bridged and parallel At 250wx2, and a DSP on top of that. I might have room for an SD250 on one side to push the horns, but it's gonna be close.

Gotcha, I will do some digging and see what I can find as far a a small 2 channel.
Ideal setup is parallel the woofs and bridge amp at a 4ohm load.

From my limited experience, if u over EQ them Beyma CX they don't really like it.

THIELE-SMALL PARAMETERS

CAF on youtube has a very informative video on trying to help explain what these mean and how you can use them to help choose speakers. One of the reasons that our beloved PRV6MR500-NDY4 plays as low as it does is because it has a Fs spec of 99.8Hz, hence with 75-150 watts going to it it can easily play 100hz and do it loud. I highly suggest to everyone to watch the video, i took notes and watched it a bunch of times and still refer to it often, it has helped me out a lot!!

Quick update, PRV 8MR600X in the bags are frickin awesome, very loud and audible at highway speeds. I'm sending them 250w each, crossed at 80 Hz- 8500Hz. The bass isn't bad either, though not as much as the 8" Forte's, but to me the trade off of bass for volume and clarity is worth it.
