That was kind of my thoughts, but I haven't heard many 6x9's beyond the Rockford Fosgate stuff, and that doesn't impress me at all.
How many watts do those GZ coax realistically need. Will they do well on 200 watts or do they need more like 250 watts. I hear guys saying they sound best with 300 watts, but I am currently planning 200 to 250 watts if I'm looking at the 2400.4 - 2 ohm.

I have my lowers on half of a 1200.4 4 ohm giving them app. 200 w each. They sound good at that and will still go low enough for me to hear it from the lowers. Having been use to having pa woofers in my lowers in the past, these coax can be a bright harsh on highs without a dsp to tame them.

Figured I would up the game a bit for this bike.

I'm running around 275w to the 4 GZ's in the fairing and lowers, from a SD1200.4 EVOX 2 Ohm bridged. Sounds pretty darned good and loud. I rarely have to bring them over 1/2 volume. I had thoughts of going to the SD2400.4 but would have probably gone 4 ohm, and just run them straight up. But I'm I'm happy and will stick with the 1200. DSP comes next, and next winter I'll figure out what to do in the back. Sure wish I could find some decent 6x9 lids in Autumn Haze that don't cost an arm and a leg.

How many speakers in total are you running and are they all 4ohm?

lowers on channel 2
Lids probably bridged on 3/4. Haven't picked the lid speakers yet, but thinking if I stick to a 2 ohm amp I have more 4 ohm speaker options, and tons of power down the road.
I could go with the 4 ohm version, but just concerned I might be lacking a little on power for future upgrades on the back end. May end up with 10"s when I upgrade to stretched bags.
I also have a 800.4 Evox on order as well as a Stinger and a NVX Vadm 4 kicking around.
