Default Prv 6mb 250

I seen where someone recommended these for tour pack speakers has anyone tried them ? I see they’re 8 ohm how would you wire them to make 4 ohm ? Would they pair well with mmats cx in the fairing

Haven't heard them but they are available in 4ohm. If you had the 8 ohm you ould wire them in parallel on one channel to get to 4 ohms.

Take ur time with the 4 ohm vs 8 ohm wiring strategy as it can be very good but can also box u in if uncommitted to 8 ohm and want to go back to 4 due different speaker selection.

I only have 2 4 ohm speakers on my sled but if I went back to 4, it a complete do over. Just a completely different utilization of amp channels.

What's ur current setup as is?

Should be a good discussion.

you would have better luck dropping another set of the 601cx's in the tp. they will sound awsome. i needed a spacer, 1/2 inch i think, but my bike is an 04, the newer pods might work without the spacer, but the Mmats is a much better choice.

I agree that the PA601CX would be a better speaker for the TP, however that speaker needs almost 1" of spacer in the Rushmore pods.

The reason I recommended the Prv in the thread the OP is referring to is, it fits the pod with no modifications and they sound good with 100-125w going to them.

Have these in a friends Limited and they keep up with the fairing. Several guys from the Midwest MnG heard his little 4 speaker setup and it holds its own.

Maybe some will chime in here.
