Granted I'm still running the hogtunes aa 450 amp which is 50 watts rms per ch but after I tuned the crossover on the RF head unit they are loud and very clear so I can imagine it would be very good with a good amp tuned.
I think I would have been very happy with them on the ss pn4.1000d.
But I already ordered the GZ yellow basket and the SD 800.4 so I may end up selling these

I've never used that adapter so it's hard to say. How close is it to getting the brace to bolt back up.
FWIW....I took both of mine out.

The adapter has multiple holes for the 6.5 so I thinking I maybe one hole off the throttle side lined right up perfectly

Ok. The adapter itself will only bolt up one way. Just position the speaker in the closest hole that will line up with the brace and make the necessary adjustments to the brace. About all you can do.

You don't have to use the predrilled holes. Move the speaker around until your brace lines up and drill new holes in the adapter. Problem solved.

Just for reference, this is the Metra 82-9601 adapter. Lines up every time. Quick question about 6.5 adapter-photo487.jpg
