Don't have any experience with them but looking at the specs a bridged 800.4 4ohm amp giving them around 200W seems about right. Probably cross them in the 60-80Hz range. All the online stores have them at $310 a pair.

They had them listed at $237 plus $40 shipping but appears the price jumped up ... in a matter of seconds...

Someone's gotta explain to me how their marketing department is getting away with calling these sub's. Their frequency range specs are similar to most other more expensive 6x9 coaxial car speakers.

I'm actually going to be running 4speakers off the amp. 2 hertz in the fairing and also the lids so the 6x9s will only be single channel. Do you think that's enough power ?

they have much better lows that the hertz 6x9s that I replaced with them. What other 6x9s are you referring to?

I don't doubt that they play lower than the typical 6x9 that we use on our bikes but to market a speaker with an F/s of 46 and range of 45-23KHz as sub is misleading. Subs have a frequency range from about 20-200Hz. If you look at a lot of full range coax 6x9's for cars you will see that they have similar specs to the Diamond Audio.

You will have to have two amps. That 800.4 cant run both of those 6x9's on two channels bridged at 2 ohm.

I totally agree. I would just like to see those DA 6x9's compared to an actual small sub like an 8 in enclosed in the back half of a saddlebag.
