Default Db audio or Prv

About to install speaker lids and had planned on going with 8" prv's but have recently been suggested db Audio. Haven't seen much info on their motorcycle speakers and I'm not familiar enough with them to know how they compete with Prv. Can anyone educate me on how they match up if at all

No comparison really. PRV over DB everyday of the week.

Depends on the model and application.

Need more specifics.

@SBates08 is right, while my DB drive 8’ coaxials are loud they lack low end , I am looking at faital 8’s as cheap as they are they are worth a try

I've had both and prefer the db, but not by a huge margin. I really liked my PRVs in the lids, and you can't go wrong with them. The lacking low end is absolutely the case with the db. Great overall speaker and IP rated, but no low end.

I’ve tested those. Worth every penny in my opinion. Not super loud but a good sound with little eq work.
