As far as the crossover, I would have to assume it is internal but I better let John chime in on that one if he reads this.
As far as weight goes, the difference has to be minimal. I didn't weigh them but they were much lighter than I had expected. The brackets are ABS plastic and weigh nothing. Most of the weight from speakers are in the magnet and the magnets are far smaller than you would think. You might be able to tell that from the pics but I'm not sure.

). I'd love it if someone would make a system that was affordable, reliable and killer sounding. I don't think that system has been invented yet -- everything is a compromise.People are all excited about these speakers and they may be just great, but no one's offered any hard numbers in terms of audio performance ratings that I've read. Just a lot of "I love my new speakers!", which is typical for anyone going away from stock.
Another impressive part of this setup is that I have a light and responsive front end again. With the much heavier Alpines the weight in the fairing would pull hard in low speed, tight manuevers

big??? John is there a money back guarantee? i was to late to be a tester
what is the sensitivity of the new speakers?
have you checked the SPL sound pressure level or db output at a given power.
if they dont sound as good to me can i return them? i`ts alot of coin.
i`m running a arc mini with 6.5 components.
i`m getting ready to try infinity because best buy will let me return them

I don't have a dog in this fight either. I offered to test these speakers and give my opinion. That's all I did. I'm not comparing to anything other than the other set ups I had on my other bike. I'm not saying the Arc components suck because I've never heard them and I don't know how anyone can say these do If they havn't even heard them yet.
The only reason I would want an amp on a bike would be for volume and clarity and these do both for me. The speakers might be expensive but still cheaper if I don't need an amp.
In closing if I had found these six sets of speakers ago I wouldn't have had to volunteer to test these as I would have already had what I wanted and saved myself some serious coin.

Are you not happy with the mini and 6.5's? I have the mini and 5.25's and talking to Firecap about going up to the 6.5's. Is there something that is not good enough or loud enough with the 6.5's?
