I recently installed prv neo in my lowers. I only have a week or so time with them but they are powered by a xd600 @ 75w each. They sound good but not as loud as I hoped and think 100-120 would make them sing. Maybe someone with more experience with them will chime in.

Frankly I blame Gypsy...he is the one that got me excited to experiment with different speakers to begin with, when I first started hanging around this forum. Lol
As always. Lol. Mike, I'm changing again myself. Everything even. I'm afraid to think just how much I have spent looking for some damn mystical creature that doesn't even exist. I'll pm you soon my friend.

Mike,
I just put the PRV's in the fairing, not broken in yet. But, I can tell the difference from my Mmats. They do seem more crisp and louder already. I have the x-over set around 105hz right now. Once they break in i will turn it down and tune the gain. I can say they do sound good. The horns will go along way in the wind at speed.

As far as low end, I like my 6x9's in the bags vs lids. Lids do save more space. If you can get over the looks, I know the 8's in the lids do sound good with the right speaker and amp combo. I do not know about clearance for the tour-pak though. I have heard some lids hit the T/P when opening.

I'm in agreement with T on this. Great clarity and volume from the SV165

How much power do the SV165 like? Preferred watts?

I've ran them from 125 to 175. Crystal clear. Just don't cross them lower than 100ish. They won't play low. But if you have some good fill in other places, they're a great speaker. I've went back and forth with focal, prv, AW, and idk what else. The SV's always keep my ears happy
