I think you need an 8 that is loud enough for riding speed and will maintain some thump. After hearing the GZ yellows, I think that is a very solid speaker for that application. Yes, the stinger bridged is probably a little too much power for them, but you can always turn the amp down a bit. I'd hit up slodsm, ask him what amp he's running on them and where his crossovers are set. Those are some of the best kid speakers I've heard yet. Next is a set of horns for the lids. Not sure where you are on that, but GZ, DD, Hertz all make good products for that application. Selecting the right 8 and horn will yield you some damn good results.
I don't know anything about the pioneer, and while I'm all about trying new products, I think there is a wide enough range that the forum has used other than that that can be used.
The 200L is a good option for lower bass but won't get up into the mid ranges as high as the yellow.
A hertz 200.1 is a loud good speaker but won't play low.
Rockville RM64 is a good choice also, but the power you have is too much for them. I've had them at 80 hz with good thump but now strong bass. More of a midrange speaker.
Crescendo UN8 is also another good choice. Won't provide as much on the lows but good clear mids.
If bass and volume is what you're looking for I think the yellow is your huckleberry

@slodsm I would absolutely be interested in hearing about your setup. I am fine with a good kick at speed. Once I felt that, I knew that was the right setup. 80-90 hz at speed really seemed to fill in the deep side of the other six speakers.

I ended up just getting an exchange for the 200L. It's a good speaker, that most likely was blown by a mix of power and a poor DSR map. Somehow it went back to default at. 80 hz low pass.

I think slodsm is in the Ft Worth area maybe you could hear his lids and have a better understanding of where you need to be. I know hearing bikes at ES helped me tremendously.
