Default Lower speaker suggestions ?
Just wondering what would be a good 6.5 to run in a set of lowers that would work well with my 6.5 DB Drive WDX Moto in the fairing ?

For a amp I’m running a Focal FDP sport, and a Sony headunit, also I’ll be running a set of 8’s in the bag just not sure which ones yet. Last year I ran the GZ yellow baskets may try something different this time around just to switch things up.

I mostly listen to hip hop and r&b if that matters, just trying to think of things that may be asked.

I'd move the Motos to the lowers and search for a warmer speaker for the fairing personally.

Wasn't sure if the motos would fit into lowers, heck I had to modify the pods just to get them to fit in the fairing. I don’t have the lowers yet but that’s why I’m here for info. If they will fit I have no problem moving them this is the type of info I’m looking for.

It'll take a little grinding and elbow grease on the pod itself but they'll fit.

Is there a DSP in play?

No not anymore, not saying I can’t or won’t add another one but for now wanna keep it simple. This is probably going to be a temporary system.

Without a DSP, I'd be looking for a warmer coax for the fairing. The Mmat 601.4cx are pretty popular as of late and could be just what you're looking for.
