I've tried a good amount of 10's here's are some thoughts.
Faitals - they sound great and produce the closest thing to subwoofer bass. The smaller the bag the more power you need. I've used a 1200.1 and 1600.1 on them. Heck I've used a 2k and 3k also! I'll say that I know a few guys running 1600.1's on them and have blown a few of them pushing the envelope. They're great, but be careful.
GZ 10's (new ones) - Since they're 4ohm you have some more wiring amp options. I've used a small as an 800.4 bridged to them. I think with any of these it really depends how loud the rest of the bike is, and how loud you need your bass to keep up with the mids and highs. You can use a 1600.1 with these with no issues. These aren't as low bass as the faitals but do sound like subs.
GZ 10's (old ons) - Pass, they're not that good. The MMats 10's are almost the same.
PRV - New 10's. These ****'s punch but you need big bags for them to sound right. I like the neo motor and that they are 4ohm. Very punch bass, but don't expect it to roll on the bottom end like a sub.
PRV 10W650's - these are work horses. I've used as little as 200w from a JL 600/6 on them and they will fill out well in the low end but not as punchy as the 1000's and not sub bass like the others. I've never blown a pair either though.
I'm sure there's others out there. Hope this helps.

Alright guys I'm thinking about using the Faital rs350 1 in each bag of course. Powered by a sound digital nano 3000.1 2ohm. So they can have about 900 each. What do you guys think about that? Sorry I've been busy with the holidays. Please give some input. I seen this on a amp dyno that's where I'm getting my 900watt number from.

Im aware they know there stuff but also will depend on the rest of your system and your battery as Alex said below. If your gonna push 900 watts hope the rest of your system will be able to keep up. You need to be aware of what others are running when they give their recommendations. Also just because they will take that amount doesnt mean you need to give them that much. Tuning is way more important than watts.
