One other thing to mention is do you care about water resistance. Where I live in the summer you never know when you will get dumped on. My equipment choices always have water resistance factored in. Other speakers will certainly sound better, but they wouldn't survive more than a few weeks with the way I ride.
As Mac would tell it, "May I say to you..."
Read on MMats website about their water resistant treatment. Most users seem to have high opinions of the durability.

So it is a balance of the right speaker, the right power and most important the right tune. Now if going with a simple coax setup then that can save you a lot of money and headaches with power needs and tuning. The only thing is you will be leaving a lot on the table with overall sound quality.

I am quickly getting convinced of the quality improvement a DSP can bring to the table. On a component setup, where are the tweeter mounted? If you buy a component pair with crossover, do you need a second driver or just what feeds the crossover?
Mine Will be a 4 or 6 speaker setup, with tour pack being chan 3&4 and maybe bag lids down the road for chan 5&6.

On my setup I have water resistant coax speakers in my fairing and water resistant PA (mids) speakers in my lowers. They are fed off of a four channel amp that is tuned by channels 1-2 and 3-4 from my DSP. I have another four channel amp feeding the rear lids and pods. They are fed by channels 5-6 of my DSP. In an ideal situation I would be using an eight channel DSP but I prefer the features of the six channel Arc PSM I am using so I found a happy medium on the tune for the rears between the pods and lids.
Hopefully one of the smart folks can correct me if I have steered you wrong.

This is my set up, all my speakers have been treated with a waterproofing spray. If anything gets wet or damaged, i can always replace real cheap. Its a budget install i did myself. Im not going win any competitions but i can here it at 80 mph without a problem.
