Default Diamond mp654 install

https://diamondaudio.com/product/mp654/

I give these a big thumbs up, they sound amazing with only 150 watts. They are excellent for the price. The
​​ magnet is a little on the smaller size(compared to neo prv, hertz). I installed them on a 18 RG, so the pods didn't need too much molding to fit.
​​​​​​

$380 per pair mind you. I think it's a killer deal.

I was looking at these speakers, what did you have before and what amp are you running?

From stock install. You'll need a dsp with these, the horns need to be tuned down. They are a step up above the mmats pa601x.

SD 800.4 was used

They come with a 4 ohm resistor to help tame the horns. You can run them bi-amped, or run the horns in parallel with the and provided x-over that actually puts the horn in reverse polarity for a more accurate sound.

Not a bad speaker, way louder and more detailed than the MMats.

I went with the brothers to these the Cerwin Vega PH654's and they were cheaper and sounds close if not as good as their big Brother! Diamond Audio bought Cerwin Vega out and made clone version for brother brand. The Diamond ones were my first pick, but i wanted too many total speakers at that price! Yours should sound bad *** tho!

Hey Juice,
Do these speakers have the same kind of thump as I currently get out of my Mmats in the fairing. Have been looking at options for an upgrade from my Mmats in the fairing, and these are one of the choices on my list.

They will not play a low as the MMats. They are way louder though!! The specs want them HP at 110hz. If you are sending them less power you may be able to tune them down a tad lower.

I have the same bike only a 15. I am looking to get the diamond mp654's as well but have received different answers as to what mods will be needed to made to the pods or fairing. Any advice for how you got them installed. Thanks in advance for your input. It is really appreciated.

Do you currently run these? What kind of power were or are you running them at. Gonna assume they will take as much as the gz coaxial

I am sending them 300 watts each, They are loud!!. You will need some low end fill from another speaker area, I have them mounted on BT brackets. I know other have put them in pods too.
