Sell the Boom audio speakers on ebay and p/u a RF PBR300x2 and Polk MM651's. You won't be sorry! You will also need 6.5" speaker adapters and a 10awg amp install kit.

I just left the HD shop where a salesman friend of mine has a completely custom RG that he basically turned into a RG Ultra with rear speaker setup. He installed the boom speakers front and rear (assuming because he got a deal on them) and swears up and down they're being driven by the PBR300x4 which I tend to believe is not the case. Anyways he was bragging about how good it sounded (just had the rear lids added a couple of weeks ago) so we went out there to listen.. Sounded ok til he hit about 20 on that Sony head unit volume control then it was so distorted it wasn't funny. I didn't say anything about it but took him out to the front parking lot where my bike was parked to listen to mine. All he said was "damnit man...sounds like I should have listened to you"

Boom audio stuff is the pits tacoma5432.. Hate to burst your bubble bud.. Listen to rbferg.

The only thing boomin' about Boom Audio is the price. Do you have a detachable fairing? Without a fairing your choices will be kind of limited.
