I've used both Mmats PA601 and PRV 6MR500-NDY speakers in the lowers. Both of them sound great.... the PRVs are a bit louder and the Mmats are a little warmer. Either are a good choice.

My current setup is PRV neos in the fairing, PRV neos in the lowers, VO-M6x9s in the lids, VO-B3 horns in the fairing and VO-B3 horns in the lids. I've got a Focal Sport running the PRVs and 6x9s, an NVX-MVPA4 running the horns and a DSR1 for tuning. My headunit has also been flashed to the 2 amp 8 speaker flash. I don't think I would recommend what I have in the fairing/lowers unless you swapped out the fairing speakers to something like the AW6.5s. That should give you some good warmth. A full pro audio front needs some low end help from speakers in the rear. Now if you added some rear speakers...... PRV neos all the way in my opinion. They just work for me and flat out rock.

Man that is really cool. I guess going with an aftermarket head unit and ditching the CB module gets you a lot of space. Do you remember the make/model of that amp tray?

Also are any of those amps known to interfere with FM reception?

Yes aftermarket headunit and no cb opens up alot of space. Amp tray is from baddazz bikes in texas. Not sure they make it anymore. Honestly never tried FM with these amps.

It can be done man. This is a bike we did when were in Alabama earlier this year. It has four PRV speakers a set of B3 horns, a Soundigital amp, and Arc DSP and you'd think it had something in the bags. The song used in the vid is from the Term Lab tuning disc that has various songs to help tune different sounds. 09Baggerdude on the forum heard this bike in person. Thing thumped!

How do PRV and SP compare? I see what appears to be some SP fan boys in other circles, just wondering.
