Or do yourself a favor and get the DB Euphoria's, and ditch the Moto's. They have a MUCH better sound, warmer and clearer, they come with a crossover and separate tweeters with no DSP needed.
That right there is a good suggestion. Good bang for the buck!!!
I am running the euphorias on a tm400x4ad in the faring on my 2014 SGS. I have them bridged. I do not have a dsp but my radio is flashed. Im running moto 6x9s in the bag lids off a tm400x2ad.
by far the best sounding system Ive put in the bike in the last 4 years. Loud, clear and no distortion. I was skeptical on the motos and euphorias but so far so good. I only have half a riding season with them under my belt and so far so good. Im curious to see the longevity.
I'm wondering how the 6x9 Motos would compare to the Polk MM692s I'm running. The Polks sound nice and warm so I'm not eager to switch but I have heard the Motos can get good and loud at speed.

I think your right: Motos will get good and loud. And I would bet youd lose the nice and warm of the Polks. But that happens when wanting to get loud at speed
Just found out something interesting on DB Drive's website. A new Platinum series that really caught my eye: Platinum Series Speakers
The 6x9s are three way and two ohms. Here are the specs:
Features:
RMS Power Handling: 125 Watts
Peak Power handling: 350 Watts
Frequency Response: 35 Hz - 23 KHz
Impedence: 2O
Sensitivity: 94dB
1" (25mm) Silk Dome Tweeter
Neodymium Tweeter Magnet
Carbon Graphite Injection PP Cone
Rubber Surround
1.20" (30.5mm) Voice Coil
Ferrite Oxide Woofer Magnet
Sold in Pairs
They don't say anything about being water resistant though so maybe they decided to do away with that feature to increase sound quality. If they do happen to be water resistant I would love to try a set.
Thw WDX Motos are MUCH louder than the Polks, have decent punch but are a bit harsh on the high side. If you can tone down the highs with a DSP or some other way, you will really like them over the Polks. I just replaced 6 Polks in an Ultra with some cheap speakers (Rockville/Timpano) that cost half as much and they sound much better and louder, but it is an extremely low budget build, and he wanted more. I think he has got the bug now, lol.

Thanks for that info. So you are referring to the original 6x9 two way Motos that are water resistant? If so I might have to keep an eye out for a set one day. I really like how the Polks sound but I wonder if that extra brightness might pay off at speed. I have a DSP and EQ adjustments on that amp so I could tweak them if need be.
That way I could put the Polks in one of my four wheel critters.
