Expectations absolutely must be managed regarding bass from a 6.5.

Sit on ur wallet till u can clearly define the finish line.

We are doing a small M&G east of Austin in the fall which might also be a good chance to listen to a wide range of setups.

I'm moving to Texas in September and interested in the M&G as well.

30Glock would you consider adding 6x9s to your saddlebag lids? That can give you some bass. Not a lot but it will definitely add to what you have now. You could get a compact 100w or so amp pretty cheap to see if you like it. I'm tinkering with 6x9s in the lids now and like what I have heard so far. I haven't gotten them permanently mounted yet so I can't say how it will sound out on the road.

Maybe someone can chime in to say if it is worth it or not to add them to what you have now.

If you want bass go in the bags, 8s,10s, or 6x9s, anything else is mids and highs.

I have the BT amp & MM651's in the rear pods... they put out more base than the 7.1's in the fairing.
