I can attest to the Motos being too bright under some scenarios. That was my main impetus for getting a DSP. Once I did get one though and could tone down the mid frequencies I like them. You wouldn't think a two way speaker would have too much mid range but to my ears that was what they had. Gave them a simple mild smiley face EQ in the DSP and they cleaned up nicely.
If I had it to do all over again without a DSP I probably would have preferred another type of speaker. My choices were a little limited though because I want to stick with marine rated speakers. I can ride my nekkid bikes just fine and stay dry but as soon as I take off on the Geezer Glide a monsoon will drop on me out of nowhere.
Agree with this. The Motos are by far the best speaker Ive put in my lowers but only because of the DSP. If I was running then straight off an amp without the additional control, Id probably not like them near as much. With the dsp however and some time with a spectrum analyzer, I think theyre freakin amazing, especially for what you pay for them.

I'm sure if I looked into proper tuning mine would sound better. I have heard that sometimes you can use a phone app to tune speakers. Are you aware of any videos that detail this method while using a DSP?
