Default Faital 6RS140

Well, I have to say these speakers suprised me. No official tunning yet. But, out of the box setup the crossovers and they are the best fairing speaker I have had in my bike to date.

As great as the sound quality is, I thought I would have issues with volume as the rest of my system is quite loud and can over power most speakers. These things rock.

For comparison I have ran and heard some decent speakers Ie..
1. MMats 601.4 @ 125 watts DA amp
2. Prv mr500ndy @ 75 watts JL amp, 250 watts JL amp
3. SV165's @ 300 watts DA amp
4. Beyma 6cx200nd @ 300 watts SD amp
5. Prv mr500ndy @ 300 watts SD amp (went back after Beyma died)
6. GZ Red basket @ 400 watts each off a SD amp

The Faital 6RS140 just flat out sound good. They are loud, accurate, warm and the vocals are just fantastic. I am giving them 300 watts each off 2 channels bridged from a SD 1200.4 (4ohm). They are not the cheapest or the most expensive speaker I have tried but, they may be the best 6.5" I personally have heard. This is all my opinion and results may very.

I totally agree that those things rock! I have them in my Insane Asylum lids pushing about 220 to each speaker. They are very small, light, and waterproof with awesome sound.

I haven’t tried the rs140 yet but I have tried the 6pr160 and 6hx150. Both those impressed me with their sound.

I'd be willing to take any old left over 6x9s these might be replacing in the near future of someone's hands. Particularly a pair of mmat 690 4cx. 😁

Just put about 75 miles back roads. Maybe 2 hours on them. I still think they are a winner.
