Bridge the 400/4 JL to a set of GZ coax in the fairing
You can keep the Mmats in the lowers if you choose to. This is definitely something that could be done in stages. I would change fairing speakers first and see how you like it all. If you're looking for more volume out of the lowers, follow SBates suggestions of the PRV. Just bridge the GZ micro to them as well. Be careful when setting power on that amp though. It starts to give a dirty signal above 200 watts. If it were me, I'd give the PRV about 150-175 at most.
I personally don't like the PRV without a dsp. Others do. Different strokes for different folks.
Here's my opinion, and it's only that...the 601cx's are not what I'd look for to put in my lowers, or any other coaxial speaker for that matter. The full range sound from a coax gets washed away at highway speeds coming from the lowers. I would look to replace those with a Pro Audio speaker such as the PRV6mr500 or similar. These speakers are designed to get extremely loud and is what's needed for the lowers in my opinion. While the AW's are a hard hitting speaker, one thing they've always lacked was volume. The new GZ will provide you with both. Again this is just my opinion.
Thank you for all of your suggestions. Will definitely try the prv's out. The dd aw6.5 & at28's have been good to me, so maybe i will try the PVR6MR500'S out.
