Default Beyma 8 CX300Nd/N

Thinking about removing PRV MB450 8s in my lower bags and replacing with https://www.beyma.com/getpdf.php?pid=8CX300Nd/N I have the PRVs 8s in the lids with ST 35 horns.

Thoughts?

A little lower frequency. A little louder. A little clearer.

The PRV 450's are not the best for inside the bags, great for mids and vocals, but not for bass. Inside the bags you'd be better off with the 8MB600FT. Beyma's are great speakers also, just pricier, and the 8P300F/N would be better for inside the bags. The Beyma CX300Nd/N would be good in lids, but could really use a DSP to tune the woofer separate form the horn for the best sound, as many don't like the way the recommended crossover is set.

I have the ST35s in the lids with the 450s and ST25s in the fairing with the Neo Prvs. All are bi-amped and controlled by a DSP. Thanks for your input.

Update- Swapped out the PRVs in lower bags for 8CX300Nd/Ns and swapped out the lids for 8P300Fe/Ns. Running ST35s in the lids as well. Much clearer and tighter.
I can now hear the rear sound stage at highway speed. Still have the PRV Neos in the fairing with ST 25s. Before the front sound stage overpowered the rear. The Beymas are much better built than the PRV as they should be for the price. The lids required some additional work for the Beymas to fit properly. I still have some tuning to do but for now very happy with my Unicorn...

Tailwind- Which Beyma fairing speakers have you heard? Are they better/warmer/fuller/etc than the PRV Neos?

Thx
