Please expand on this? I've been waiting for the 8" lower pods, thinking that while not ideal, at least I might get a bit lower Hz to help round things out with the G2's on top. However, this 6x9 thing, I totally missed. Granted, they certainly won't perform like they would mounted in the bags, but I wonder how they would compare to 8"s for the lowers? The 6x9's would have to be a little better than the 8"s, right?

I thought you said above you bought them. However, upon reread, I see you just bought the pods. Either way, still looking for your eventual feedback as I'm sure you'll have this settled far before me.
I've never seen 6x9's for lowers anywhere, ever. That revelation from Madhunter earlier was the first I've ever heard of such a thing. That said, DB's own spec's say the WDX69 run down to 70hz compared to the WDX8 down to 75hz, bother with approx the same sensitivity. Which is why I asked. I thought 6x9's have the same surface area as 8's as well? I've never heard the two side by side, which is why I was asking when SBates chimed in. Don't quite know what an acquired taste means, and how that would compare to 8's instead. Fish for the same intel you are.

As mentioned earlier, it's an acquired taste. To me they look hideous. You may not think so. But I would not choose these over an 8" pod any day of the week.

Hey Frenchie... Glad to see your still gonna play with 8's... I decided to keep the DBC lowers and throw some money at the project to replace foot boards & brake & shifter arms. Selling some stuff to offset the cost of new, but my wrench got the stock foot boards on my TallBoy footboard relocaters and clear the DBC lowers which is the big piece of my comfort mods... Let me know what you end up going with for speakers...

So far the only downside I've found to the G2's in the fairing is finding something for the lowers and speaker lids that will keep up volume wise. I would rather find something to keep up to the G2's instead of having to turn them down to balance out with the rest of the system.

Had to lose the XL foot boards, running stock backwards on the TB bracket kit. Chopping off the pedal on the plus 3 arm and switching to a brake peg. Its getting there...
If your stock your fitment isnt an issue.
