Not sure if the Focals are water proof, don't think they are, but will find during the first shower. I had the Bazooka amp but was not happy with it, so I switch to the Biketronics 380 watt system and Sony head unit. A great improvement over stock.  :2vrolijk_21:

Which amp is that? I ask as I have the BT480 which is loud but lacks base through the 5 1/4" Titans. I only use the speakers for town use as I use my Ear Inc. earphones for highway use. I'm willing to give the Focals and the 6 1/2" adapters a shot if I can get a little base out of it.

All of them are good speakers at that price point. At 75mph they will all sound the same. What matters is that you are happy with the amp you have. Hoist gave you the best advise on a marine speaker if they are going in a tour pack speaker pod. In the fairing I have JBL 6x8s with the ride loud adapters and Im very happy with the sound. Any of the 6 1/2s listed are top notch speakers and would be a great choice because of the environment you are using them in. Dont over think that one, pick the one that sounds the best to you at the store and run with it  :2vrolijk_21:

Bazooka with the 6"x8" infinitys and ride-loud adapter and damping in the fairing
also sounds good enough at 90mph and a Clearview standard height GT shield.

I will throw this in..... It also depends on the quality of the recorded disk or download. I am also using the Biketronics BT 480 system and love it. I am picky about my music , it has to be just right.  :2vrolijk_21:
