^^^^Wow! Thats it exactly! I know i did!

 

inside a vehicle has several factors that play into the sound. Regardless of the windows open or not your sound still bounces and reverbs of all the surfaces. On a bike there is nothing but sheer power needed to create the sound many of us want. No different than going to a concert outside.
A 500.00 system won't project sound with the same quality as spending more. BUT if the system sounds good to you then spending more than 500.00 is senseless.
It's all what sounds good to you buddy. In my case I love the high quality of the sound at 70mph. And yes, at 70mph my quality of sound will greatly differ than someone else's that has spent significantly less. NOT THAT THIS MAKE MINE ANY BETTER, LOL.

 

Great way to put it.

 

I am not trolling by any means Haze. I am not guessing for the most part. Clearly by my sig I do not have a fairing installed yet. I am waiting on it to get here. I am going off what I have experienced so far clearly experiences vary person to person. Tailwind when was the last time you got a sedan up 90mph with windows down? if its been a decade then sit down. My ears may very well be jack up from rockets and rotor blades but according to some tech the army has my hearing is outstanding considering all that. I am actually going with the polks for my sled and a precision power amp coming from a Jvc deck. Tesnevo glad you saw more of what I was trying cover in regards to all the surfaces that break the winds direction and yes as you point out effect sound as well. Baddazzbikes thanks for your 2 cents. Yank thanks for yours as well. I was looking at one of those amps before finally settling on the precision power.

 

As long as u keep comparing sled audio to some sedan rolling down the road at 90 with the windows open, ur gonna be deep deep in the weeds man.

Good luck with ur sled audio, and I do mean that as I come here to learn and also help others as a result of my lessons learned.

As I have seen from a good number of your post. Thank you for that support. I am sure I have a ton to learn when it comes to sled audio and I honestly can't wait.

 

My suggestion is to buy quality components used to save some money. I know this is over your budget, but just meant as an example. I have Hertz HSK165 component speakers powered by Rockford Fosgate TX400 watt amp. I think it sounds amazing! $350 shipped for speakers that at the time retailed for $500. RF amp retailed $500, and paid $300 shipped. Somebody is always upgrading. JMO As far as components or coax, I prefer components but I don't think it matters much. I know you will find a high quality coax cheaper than a high quality component speaker. I think the question is...do you want to give up two gauges or cut holes in your inner fairing for separate tweeters?

 

No real need to cut holes in your fairing or give up gauges. Stop by Home Depot and buy a Milwaukee Tools drill bit the exact same size as your tweet backing and drill the hole in your grills. Couple dabs of clear caulk, if the tweet does not have securing hardware, and ur rolling down the road.

Ill take that a little further
Buy these 6.5 Grills that come apart
Custom cut them to fit behind your fairing and then cut out the center like TW mentioned
$14 invested

Or buy a component set and grills from us and get the tweets cut and mounted before they leave the shop lol!!!!!!
