Subed...I have Mmats in the fairing and SX Neo's in the TP...Ground Zero Gzcf in lowers...thinking maybe 6MR500CF down below to relieve much of the highs.

😆 - still not there. The GZ sound great in the pods...and actually do not bother me...but I wonder if cutting that tweeter from one set of speakers may help...maybe even in the fairing?

You should write a book about your audio journey when you are done. Did you get the Mmats.

The Mmats coax shouldn't be that bright if you have the x-over dialed in. The Hertz SX are a different story, they can be a bit bright, and can easily over power the fairing speakers.
The variety of speakers you have would really benefit from a DSP. All three pairs of speakers have different tonal characteristics. Different EQ settings would really help.

It is fun watching Soup try all these speakers! Plus just think of the audio garage sale he can have when he finally settles. Hey soup will there be a Forum discount at your sale?

I agree...this last attempt (hopefully) with the mmats in the fairing should be it. I thought hard about installing mids in the fairing, but I don't think that will suffice. DSP will be next on the list...I'll just have to do some research and learn how to adjust/set etc.
