Ok well I guess my original question was more in the direction of "where" I could mount speaker and amps more so than what type of speaker. I will be adding lowers and will be taking a look at possibly going to 8s on them but, what about inside the fairing. is there places outside of the stock location that I could add more sound without having to rebuild the fairing?

Ok some clarification. There are current Top 10 IASCA Expert SQC cars that have "pro audio" speakers and compression horns and they have for years, they are not just SPL speakers. Having said that, there WAS a time not long ago on this very forum where many members considered "pro audio" speakers as something that made their ears hurt, and horns caused them to vomit and recently more and more folks have gone that route because of the volume these speakers can provide while riding. In all honestly (and this including myself) the knowledge base in motorcycle audio is NO where close to the car audio world so everyone, with the exception of maybe 1 or 2 guys, is an arm chair quarterback. That's not an insult by any means....it's simply perspective.
Cfave if I had a fresh start on a 4 speaker set up for a RG, I'd run some Beyma Coax in the fairing, Beyma 6G40's in the lowers, two amps in the fairing and a sound processor. That would provide you plenty of volume, low end, and fill, without requiring much modifications, keeps all the amps in the fairing and the stock HU.

Somehow I think you're question was rhetorical though T.

I honestly don't think folks know what the hell these terms mean when providing suggestions & guidance.
All in know is the freq ranges that will or won't go in my fairing or other the various other speaker locations. Almost leaning towards deleting those terms from my vocabulary and focus on some more specific descriptors.

Another thought on PA speakers, they have a wide bandwidth, but they achieve it with stiff suspensions which limits excursion ultimately limiting low frequencies.
