Recommend Me Some Speakers
« on: January 26, 2013, 01:49:18 PM »
Looking for some speaker recommendations for my 2011 FLTRUSE. I need something that will take some abuse because I like to crank up my 4 channel Arc Audio amp. I've already blown two pair for the rear pods. Let me say price is not an option IF they hold up.

Bring it on.............

I guess anything can be overpowered, but you will probably blow you eardrums before either of these!!! :mickey:

Believe it or not I`ve blown 2 sets of J&M 5 1/4" Rokkers in the rear pods. So anything that has J and M in the name is not an option.  :P

x4 on the Focals ..  

I put three pair of the 165KRC's on my bike.  Two pair came from local sound shop, $600 a pair (including TAX).
One pair came from EBAY  ~$400 a pair delivered.  They were the real deal, but likley not able to warrenty if its required.  I thought it was worth the risk.

for what ever its worth to ya ...

They are fine since they are vertical.  I wouldn't use a regular coax in the bags.  They do leak. Go with a bridge mounted tweeter type.  Like what hd uses.  An upgrade I am using is from Rockford.  They sound great and don't leak. And they have a 5x7.

Correction:  Soundzcustomz.com     They have speakers that go up to 6x9's for the front fairing and 6x9's for the saddlebags.

6x9 in the fairing ?   That's huge.  Biketronix is selling 6x9 HAT now.  I'm sure they are a big improvement too
