Default Done...for now. Get me out of this rabbit hole.

Thanks for all the input & suggestions. What I ended up with was Hertz SX Neo's in the TP - Hertz Mille Pro MPX 165.3 in the fairing - Ground Zero Yellow Baskets Coax in the lower head light pods. 2 800.4's - one bridged to the GZ @ 200wrms crossed at 80hz - the other to the Hertz @ 125wrms crossed at 100hz.


First impressions yesterday were good...got the bike up to 100kph and could hear the music clear as day...and I was at about 80% volume. Faded the stereo to just the GZ's down below and they held up just fine on their own...faded to just the Hertz and they are "loud" - especially the Neo's...they definitely overpower the Milles due to their high sensitivity...so glad the Neo's are in the TP. After a short ride...I found fading the deck to F2 (towards the GZ) helped level things out in my seating position.

There is still the option to possibly drop the Mille from the set up and put my spare set of Neo's in the fairing...but I feel that maybe just "too loud" in my face. The Mille is definitely a warmer speaker than the Neo...just doesn't get as loud...but the GZ down below really fills in the gap.


Would love to hear suggestions.

I can't offer much except that ny hertz worked good for me in the fairing but I only have a 2 speaker set up. They were a huge soind quality improvement over the kappas i previously had.
