Default MMATT's or PRV's or Beyma's 6.5" Speakers?

Which 6.5" speaker produces more Bass/Low end Freqs between the 3?

Honestly NONE of those speakers are designed to produce "bass". Even if one produces more than the other it's a huge stretch when you really talk about bass. Terms like one is warmer, or one is brighter is more common to describe pro audio speakers. If you are looking for "bass" from a 6.5, typically speaking a component speaker is your better option but understand it will never be as loud as a pro audio speaker.

Okay, so how do they compare to each other in warmth in your experience?

I was playing around last night with my PRVs and Mmats. My PRVs are in HD lowers and the Mmats are in June's rear pods. Playing at exact same cross over point and same amount of power, I can safely say the PRV are louder, and the Mmats are warmer. Both are great speakers. No experience with Beymas.

And like Alex said, if your expecting bass from either one, you will be underwhelmed for sure. They both have punch, but not thump. Hope this helps.

It's almost impossible to answer that question without adding context to it. I think Kris did a good job by saying at the same power one is warmer the other is louder. So just answering speaker A is warmer it doesn't tell the entire story, at what cost is it warmer. It could be speaker b is louder and speaker c is clearer. Also in Kris's case if the PRV speaker was turned down to the same output as the MMats could it have been crossed lower or EQ's to have the same warmth at the same volume? Quite possibly. I say this because too often the threads here are brand related, yet folks are spending thousands of dollars on audio and not diving in deep enough into the mechanics. The last post on here supports that further, there's 1 MMats pro audio 6.5, PRV offers 7-8 of them and Beyma offers close to 20.

Honestly I wouldn't chose any of them based on how warm they are. You can tweek / adjust each of them to get some. My recommendation would gear around what else was on the bike and what hole we're trying to fill sound wise.

Ive had both the MMATS 4ohm 601s and the Beyma Pro6wnd 4ohm in my lowers set up to the same amp and I found the Beymas to have a better sound. both Loud AF but, the Beymas, to me, had a fuller warmer sound.

Let me preface my original statement and say the Beymas complimented my DD AW/AT set up better than the MMATS. To me, they filled out the sound I was looking for at 70+mph better than the MMATS.

The DD VO 6.5, have a wider frequency range 70-1300 and have a lower sensitivity 91 (dSPL) which helps with the warmth and musicality IMO. Why no luv for the VO's. I like them in my lowers, and I am going to try them in the fairing, they are louder then the AW's in my fairing!
