6.5 Component Alternative
Hello Everyone, I need to replace my DD AW 6.5s and need your advice, please. One of them is blown.
Here is what I have:
2015 Street Glide Special
Sony XAV-AX5000
Biketronics Speaker Brackets
Focal FDP Sport (2 channels to DD 6.5s in the front, 2 channels to DD 6x9 in the lids)
JBL MX280/4 (2 channels only to DD Bullet Tweeters)
I was happy with the setup and have used it for years. I thought it was a great riding setup, very clear on the highway. Mainly listen to rock.
Appreciate any advice on a decent 6.5 replacement component.

DD is coming out with a new version of that speaker.
Another great component setup is either AD4000 or better yet AD5000, albeit a pricey setup. Heard both of those 1st hand.
Lastly, the Hetz ML1800 is a great fairing speaker for those with BT brackets. I have a set in my possession that are owned by another member here. He may be interested in selling them. If interested, I'll ask him. He a respected member here.

I dont know if he is respected or not but those ML 1800.3's are some of the best sounding speakers out there. Since they are a 7" speaker, they can be crossed at 75 and ad legit bass to the fairing with 200w or so. I would be willing to sell them for less than half of what they cost new.
I recently saw that wetsounds came out with a 6.5 they look nice too.
