Mike, I kinda lead us off the path of the OP original question. Are you giving those the full 175W from the FOCAL? How low are you crossing them?

pretty close, I think about 60 if I remember right. I may try lower but I don’t feel like pulling the hood again, sounds good enough to me. I’m done screwing with it, for now anyway lol

Yeah that's what I was thinking based on the 125W RMS rating around 200W for music with about a 60Hz cut off. Don't get a DSP you will never be done tinkering.

Ok I didn't clarify. I'm looking to run my fairing speakers off the 800.4 also so single 4 ohm 100/200 channels

Yes the Diamonds play lower than a regular midbass voice coil 6x9. I've had all three regular 6x9, diamond 6x9 subs and 8" subs. The diamonds play lower and hit harder than a regular mid bass 6x9 but not as low as a 8" sub.

yep, I can’t imagine why anyone would ever think a 6x9 in the lid would play as low as a purpose built sub in an enclosure no less? Duh.

I wouldn't expect them to play like a sub. I was just pointing out that marketing them as a sub is misleading.
