Not satisfied
A PRV speaker sounds nothing like a Beyma. The PRVs to me sound like a megaphone. Highs loud as hell but lack on the mids. IMO, and I do not have alot of experience with them. I primarily deal with Hertz and Beyma. Tweaking a 6.5? Which ones? Fairing, Lids, our Tour packs? We set them up different for each application. Depends if its a 4/6 speaker system or 12?

They're both 6.5 PA's, they have their tonal differences and can be tuned differently, but they're not fair to debate them against other components like the Kappas/Polk's. The PRV and Beyma's are in their own category, that's all I'm saying. Would you see any point debating PRV and Beyma when they're both taking first place trophies? Like I said I'd rather talk shop than brands, far more fun/interesting.

I like Hertz 8's in the lids. I think the vocal range is stupid good. I could stick my face in them and be happy all day listening to Nora Jones. I don't feel the same way with 6.5's or even 6x9's.
It's probably way off the OP's topic but that's what I'm getting at. Guys wanna get to know the thought process. I don't think you'd shy away from it, that's just paranoia.

Again, it depends on how we are tuning and what we are tuning. Hertz? Beyma? Most of the time now we are using a DSP on systems with 6 or more speakers. I would guess most people on here do not want to mess with a DSP. When your ready to tune your setup shoot me a message. Maybe we can help you out.

Again, please go back in the post. I do not need to sell. When did i say I didnt like prv.? Again please read again. I said I do not use it. Damn, its like dealing with 3yr olds. You are right the JL 8.8 is a horrible speaker on a bike, but if you like it its all that matters. Crank it up!!!!
