Go on the Facebook groups. Plenty of guys running the gz coxial at 350 400 watts. Ask around. Carlos isn't the only one lol
He crossed his at 135 hertz fwiw. You will find much more info on those groups and guys that have tried about every combo out there. Juice alex haze sbates are super audio smart. The rest of them fiddle **** around w their mmats and gains on Fri night for fun of that tells you anything. This isn't a rocketship and the speakers are only 240 bucks a set if you blow them both. Ask around enough and someone will share their info w you. Or you can listen to the three stooges and run 150 or 200 watts and tell everyone how fn great they sound and go adjust the amp settings Sat night and report back on Monday lol
Hey yourself a dmm and see what sounds best to you. We all have different opinions on what's loud and sounds good man lol

350+ to a yellow coax is going to sound like screaming dogshit. They will be crossed super high and the tweeter will make your ears bleed.
if you cut the tweeter, run it on a separate channel, and power it separately with like 60-70 watts, itll be slightly better, but still crossed super high.
the point youre missing, is that works with a well rounded system. You cant just have 6,5s and run them like that, you need multiple 8s or 10s to fill the bottom side or youre going to sound like garbage.
ive personally ran 300+ to yellows at a super narrow band pass with no issues. Im currently running 400 each to blacks and reds, alsooooo super narrow band pass. And I have 4 8s eating 400 each running 45-250 hz to cover the bottom side.
coax speaker dont take power like that and sound good, but please, keep name dropping Joose and Bates, thatll make you sound better

The guys running 350-400 watts @135 crossover aren't running a basic 2 or 4 speaker setup. Somewhere along the line you need to cover lower frequencies or you just make your ears bleed. Personally, I'd rather run them at 200w with a 60, 70 or 80 crossover point on a 2 or 4 speaker setup. Most folks coming here aren't looking for competition setups. They want to have good sound, loud enough to hear at 80mph.
The truth of it is, no matter what you run, it's a system. If you only have 2 speakers to play with, you want a full sounding, well rounded range of sound. If you're running 8-14 speakers, by all means tune them to scream highs and blend it with mids, mid bass and bass.
If anyone remembers any of this rant...... remember SYSTEM!!

Then youve never head a good sounding bike that hits.
there is no 6.5 on earth except subs that will hit. Dont care what you feet them. They lack the excursion to move enough air.
but please continue telling us how much you know about this.

I found some really badass 3" woofers that could be plastered all over the fairing for some ground shattering bass!
