Thanks. It is either those or the Hertz SV165's. Got to pull the trigger on one or the other.

Redbeard719 just went through this with a very similar set up I believe. He bought the SV 165s and then I think he swapped for PRVs if I remember right.

I have to disagree with T, in a friendly way, about the mid-bass on the MmatsPA601cx's. I could be due to the type of music that i listen too, or my tuning style, but I found them to sound very good as well as being loud. I would say to use them over the Hertz if the price difference wasn't a huge issue.

We all have different ears & different styles brother. Crossed anywhere lower than 110 they sounded like garbage.
But I do agree that in the lowers crossed above that, it's not a bad play compared to the Hertz.

I think there about a $40 difference. It's quite mind numbing figuring out what speakers to use. I was leaning to the Mmats PA601's but I am hearing I would do better with the PA601 cx's. BT was suggesting the Hertz SV's but I would have to modify the speaker pod in the lower. Not sure I want to do that at the moment.

I appreciate everyone's feedback!!!

Damn near all power settings. ARC Moto, Stinger, & also the NVX VADM. Just not a fairing speaker in my little tiny world.

i have the same opinion of them. I ran four, lowers and TP and I liked them there but I listen to literally every form of music and while they sound killer with some rock/country crossed over lower, when you throw in some hip hop or really heavy rock they fall apart below 100 and above 3800 on my setup. I feed them PLENTY of power but I’ve tried them at every level.

I think they’re an absolutely epic lower cost speaker though, just need something to play a little lower to compliment them. GZ Yellow baskets did it for me.
