My personal thoughts Nothing sounds better than Beyma. Having options (especially new ones) is cool though.

Take a look at the DD Audio VO-MN8. They wont play as low but would be awesome in a lid. They are marine rated and super light weight. The VO-w8 would be awesome but are heavy. I wouldn't want a speaker that heavy in my lid, but that's just me.

Tell you what Alex I'm torn..I'm still looking at the same thing...I have 4 beyma6gmnd so I'm good on midrange...I'm adding dirtybird lowers and lids so adding a total of 4 8s for a solid MIDBASS...i love prv and beyma...torn between trying the prv forte 700 OR a beyma that will give me the best midBASS for these locations...I don't know beyma line that well and I know they have tons of models...I'll be giving em 300 watts each

Ok, so a couple people have said this is the way to go and I like the sound of it but I was talking to a local audio shop about this and I am now questioning how this would be possible. The TX48 is rated at 4 x 200 @ 4ohms, how would bridging an 8ohm speaker get 400 per lid just using the rear channels? Wouldn't that get me back to 200 watts a piece at 4 ohms making bridging 8 ohm speakers a moot point? I will need to use channels 1 and 2 for a pair of horns. What am I missing? I've ordered my lids, and I'm going with a pair of Diamond Horns, the last piece of the puzzle is which 8 and the answer to this question is key to speaker choice.

For example I heard that Beyma 8ohm speakers are actually 5.6 ohms, I know we talked about the Beyma's but I have confirmed they won't fit without a lot of work.

EMF Audio recently posted a good YT video about impedance rise. Including how you should NOT match your amplifier power based on what the "hot" speaker impedance is. It applies more to the SPL world but educational none the less.
