That LSX line from mmats looks like good amount of power from a similar footprint of the SD amps. I know guys have stated that SD amps sound "dirty" and need a DSP to clean things up...I wonder on the mmats amps if it's the same case...or if these amps are "cleaner" so to speak.

I use Mmats amps. For the longest time I considered JL amps as the cleanest sounding and they are. Their only downfall was sizes. Enter Mmats, and they also, are a cleaner sound with good power in a size that works.

Now you've got me thinking dirty thoughts. Maybe the LSX 2600.4 for lids and fairing (really overkill for my fairing needs though) and I could use the 600.4 or 800.4 for tour pak pods and lowers.

I'm really on the fence about liquid cooled lowers though. I haven't seen a set yet that I liked the looks of and without a good deep cavity I wonder if I could ever get the good warm sound I used to have with the Mmats PA 601s I was used to. Maybe they make something slimmer with a neo magnet now?

If you have a good body man or you can do body work, fab up some lower speaker pods for the wethead if you don't like the manufacturered ones.


These are 8 inch lowers I did about 5 years ago

I agree with trying to find a set that look good is hard. The only ones I've seen/used are the Metra's. They are nice, but stick out a little far, but they function very well if you want a bigger speaker in there. MMATS does make a 6.5" neo, although I have not personally heard them. But I'm sure they are good
