Sorry bout that...back on topic tho..ive always been a lil confused or wondered if I think of "warmth" like others...ive ran coaxials before these pro audio and I'm sure all set ups are different but it seems the big difference I gained is separation and clarity...so what is the "warmth" people are searching for....is it basically like the more punch and/Or mid balanced with the highs or how do u guys describe it??

With ur fairing F @ 132 I'm gonna guess u don't have much stand alone warmth but have solid kick or punch.
U do have things dialed in and balanced well brother!!!!
Just my 2c.

Nice! BTW, looks like we've recently spoken on FB on your amp post. Now that you've done it, is that $120 amp tray a good investment? Some have just flattened the stock tray.
Thanks for chiming in Alex! Great strategy...in my car audio days, I never would have considered doing a bridged mono setup, but this is a bike and it's only the lowers.
I get the tradeoff. Guess I'm looking for a balance of both. It would make things so much easier if there was a local shop that I can listen to all of these, but I haven't found it. Everyone's ears are different. What makes it more difficult is that people are either hot or cold on the SP 6.5CM, and also the EPC6K, and both are sold by only few dealers. I have yet to hear anyone complain about the SQ and low end from the AW's, but the 90.5db sensitivity concerns me...the ones I just pulled out that were warm and had bottom end were ~88db and fell way short on SPL. I'm just trying to avoid chasing the unicorn, but it will probably happen anyway.
thanks again!
Just spoke to the US distributor 1hr ago and he said they're all sold out. Distributor seems like a nice dude, took his time to chat, and gives high praise for these vs many others he's heard. However, he recommended an amp that I've seen several on here say it's junk. So again, each ear is different. Have you heard these, and if so, what's your take?

Ok that makes sense but i guess I'm not picky cause honestly when I did my install my lids had to be repainted so I just had the 6.5 and front horns installed and running for a few days...definately not the same BUT I wouldn't of minded keeping it that way just for the soul fact it's very loud and clear on 60+ mph..thats where it matters most to me...those videos were at az bike week so we were just showing off a bit BUT the weekend was 1100 miles in 4 days so it was alot of seat time...amd it does sound decent but I'd still really like to find someone in arizona that can help me dial it in cause I'm sure it's way off!

No worries about the hijack, and yes I'm reading everything.
Narrowed my choice down to the EPC6k or the SP 6.5CM. Probably will buy both, and if I like both, one set will go in the fairing, other will go in the lowers. If I like one better than the other, I'll buy a 2nd set for fairing/lowers and sell the unused set.
If by that time I find it's still missing something then I'll look to add an efficient pair of 6x9's or 8's in the lids.
Suggestions still welcome. Still hoping for someone that's heard both that can give feedback. And thanks to everyone who has been helpful.

I actually just ordered the euphoria epc6k's yesterday...my choice was between the same two speaker setups...my tins are out for paint so I won't be able to get em mounted for a while but I will be waiting to hear your review of the sets! im also tempted to just buy both lol
