I'll stick with the Kickers. I don't want to spend too much on the audio. I still have to upgrade all my lighting, add LED accent lights, and do a ton of powder coating.

Gann and UN have been a huge help. I would have spent more money and gotten less system if it hadn't been for them!

The improvement is unbelievable, especially when you consider how much I spent and how easy the install was. Volume is increased significantly, but with a corresponding increase in clarity. Everything sounds better across the entire range. I can't wait to get my lowers in and throw in a second set of speakers. I could not be happier with the bang for the buck.


So, tell me about polyfill. Will it help in the speaker pods? What do I order, and how do I install it?

LOL.. if you're willing to pull those PITA pods off again, yeah it will probably help a little with the bottom end. for this application you'd probably want to ball up a handful of it and stuff it down in the bottom of the pods.

Also what flash did you wind up using for your setup?

The one you recommended earlier in the thread. Amp 1 and 2 off, 8 speakers.

I am curious about the flash deal. Before I went up to the dealership, I accessed the diagnostic menu (hold the radio power button down while you flip the bike power on) and I noticed that you can access audio settings through there. You can change EQ settings there. Is that the same as when the dealer flashes the HU? There are a bunch of choices, although the titles don't make a ton of sense. I thought about screwing around with it and seeing if it affected things, but I wanted to be done with the stereo and have it right, and I had a gift certificate for my dealership anyways. Has anyone messed with those EQ settings to see what they do?
