2016 RG Fairing only Speaker's, yes another thread
First off sorry, however this is driving me crazy. So running Sony AX-7000 HU with a BT 2180 amp and currently Polk DB652 6.5" speakers.
So system is great, have full control of what I want, now it time to do the speakers, they do well, but I know I can do better. Music, Hard core rock, would like some low range to hear the drum's. I know with an open air I won't get much but just want better than the Polk's. I know everyone seems in love with the Mmatts. Below we're 2 other option's given and they have had lot's of installs on HD's and shop has had nothing be Kudo's. They don't get mentioned much here so looking for input. Thanks
Hybrid power sport coax are $270 pair (all weather)
OR if I want to spend real money, which really I want to stick to drop in non-component speakers
Hybrid Audio U6 Mid Range 6.5 weather treated 100 watts-230 Watts 50Hz to 22 Khz 93.2 DB 4Ω
1 319.99 319.99
SPX-T Tweeter Grills for all years 98-current Kit includes 1" Tweeter cut into new hogtunes grills (Please use specific grills for year and model bike)
1 159.94 159.94
Any thoughts on these, $500 for component with new grills, or $270 for drop ins

HAT(Hybrid) is not efficient enough to work on a bike. Great speaker for a car and that's where they belong.
Get the mmats or consider the DB moto G2s. Mmats will be better sq and DB will be better volume(which is important on a RG). Then the weak link will be your BT amp.

He would have to get a different amp and DSP to run those speakers.

Okay, trigger has been pulled. I like the spec's on sheet, going with WDX6MOTO-G2. Got to better than my current Polk 652 DB's.

How do you feel with the Sony HU? I went the other route, installed an NVX amp and the MMats first, and have been debating the HU now (Sony 5000 vs 7000).
Are there any controls you lost with the switch?
