Default Speaker ideas 6.5"

Looking for some ideas. I know hawg wired has some nice ones. I am looking for something that is clear, but also has some bass to it. Obviously not bumping with 6.5' but something that wont distort. I will be running at least a 150 watt amp as well. Aftermarket Sony radio with mostly ipod music. Batwing fairing speakers

the arc audio adapter rings are the best in my opinion for adapters and for speakers I just installed polk audio dxi 6500 and dxi 650 in my roadglide the 6500's are components and the 650's are coax both are real good marine quality speakers for a good price You can get them on ebay in the best buy outlet store real cheap i got the 650's for 26.00 shipped and the 6500's for 100 shipped and they were listed as used and when i recieved them they were brand new open box speakers !! Installed them with an alpine pdx f4 amp and they are real nice. I removed 4 boston acoustic pro 5.25's and they were 500 per set and the polk 6.5 are def better sounding with much more bass.

I have the Hawg Wired 6.5's. They sound great and no distortion and they sound great. I am running them off a HW amp and Alpine deck.

Same here FFeric....HW RS 200 watt amp...HW's 6.5's...and alpine deck....no distortion here on all my songs...except one song that has a big booming bass to it. If I crank it too high(almost to the max volume) on that song then I can hear the woofers distorting. But since I am pushing so much wattage to each speaker I can see why. I will try adjusting my settings to take care of that.

I have the Hertz 6.5" speakers with a Sony head unit and Titan amp. The system sounds great, no complaints.

i have a 200 watt amp running Polk MM 6501 components
they are 6 1/2" woofers and seperate tweeters with crossovers

im using the throttle up Ind. spekaer adapters (great quality, fast shipping, and great price)

these speakers are amazing..
i was running j&m speakers before these and my buddy has the j&M Rokker series 7.25 setup and my setup is alot clearer, more bass and just better sound dynamics.

and for $200 they are a great price point
