Speakers to replace Infinity 62.11I
I just installed a RZ4-2000D amp and Infinity 62.11I speakers in my 2013 Street Glide Fairing. I am running the factory head unit and prefer not to change. I do have polyfil wrapping both speakers. These are the only speaker I have on the bike. I went with this setup based on what I read in the forums and cost. I found the 62.11's did not perform as well as I was expecting. I feel the Infinity's a too bright and lack bass. I have to run the bass flat and treble is set 1 bar above flat. If the bass is set any higher, the vocals disappear.
I listen to all types of music, so I need speakers that perform well over all frequencies. I am not looking to spend a ton of money on an audio system, but I want a good sound with good bass, well as much as possible with 6.5's. I had Kicker 6.5 subs in a car I once had and they were phenomenal, they sounded like 8's or almost 10's. I understand they were subs and not meant to reproduce mid range as well, but looking for something.
I know I said I didn't want to spend a ton but I have considered JL C5-650 components, Biketronics and J&M's. However, the wife said no.
I have searched the forum, but haven't come across this issue. I want to keep a 2 speaker system without adding a sub in the saddlebags or tour pak. I am looking for advice on what would be the best speakers for my goal - a 2 speaker system (coaxial or components) with good bass definition and great sound quality. I understand it is subjective, nut would like opinions.
Thank you,
Kevin

Best bang for the buck - Kicker KSC67
Next level - Biketronics Titan II
Upper level - Biketronics 7.1's
These three sets of speakers will give you the bass you are looking for. (For a two speaker system)

I knew you would have input as I always see you in the audio forums. I personally haven't heard any biketronics equipment and that is the reason I have been hesitant to spend that much for a set. However, if they will be my last speaker purchase, then I will consider spending that much. The Infinity's are the second set of speakers I have put in the bike so far. I guess if I would have spent the money to begin with then I would have saved money.

Thank you for you input and all of those on the forums. I feel it help me make good choices. That is the reason I choice the RZ4 over the Rockford (always used Rockford and JL amps in my cars), for possible future use even though I don't plan on adding rear speakers. Of course that is what we all say. I am pretty impressed with the amp. Today I readjusted the gains, used a DMM this time. The gain was at 11 o'clock, now closer to 10 o'clock. I pulled the speakers as well and noticed I had the tweeters set on 3db gain. I changed that to 0db as well. I know it will not fix the lack of bass issue, but I am sure it will not sound as harsh. I will know in a few.

Switching to 0db made a huge difference. Now i am running bass and treble at 3/4. I have switched the amp to high pass as well. I hope I haven't discouraged anyone from these speakers, especially over stock. They do get load and play clear at any volume. I would highly recommend them to anyone. For me I am just a basshead and desire more.

Now I am really confused, what does this do, and how do you know which way is best?
