Yeah, no lie!
thanks Phil, and thanks again for the good deal. Now if I can just get the damn thing on the road for a bit to see how the tunes sound at speed!
I'm gonna have to try out some FFDP tonight to see how the system handles it. Sounds like it'll be a real test of it's mettle.
I suppose I'd be considered old too by most standards (44), but I've always been a metalhead. No sense changing now. Old dog, new trick...nah.

Well I completed my Kenwood kdc798 with bt1005x & pbr300x2 with kappas a few days ago. Weather was finally nice enough to fill the bike up for the first time and take her out. I just bought this bike about a month ago and haven't had a chance to ride yet.
The new stereo set up was pretty solid, the kdc798 CD player did skip some when hitting a decent bump on the highway. Max volume is 35 and at 29 itll begin to distort the way I have the gain set on the amp. Anyways on volume 15 it was solid and could hear it perfectly fine going 70-80mph, set it at 20 it was little louder but not much.
Great combo but I'm going for more, selling the infinity kappas and pbr300x2 with some wiring in classifieds. Found a decent price on a biketronics titan 2 speakers. Now for a new amp, cerwin b2 at $150?

Ffdp doesnt sound too good on mine.. Their sound is real distorted anyway.. Pantera plays real damn good.. Stranglehold is prob the best damn song to listen to on the bike lol.. Most of the time I'm listening to machine head or cannibal corpse which have heavy fast drum beats

We might have taken over the OPs thread here. Glad to hear i'm not alone though.
To the OP, congrats on the new system. Let me know your opinions on this system after a few months of riding. Some of my friends are looking to upgrade their systems since hearing mine and i've been steering them in the direction you went.

Eh, no worries. I took if off track anyway with details of the rest of my build. ASF is kind of a cool mix of newer metal with the old school shredding guitars. Seems to be a lost art these days, not a lot of flat out guitar solos in the middle of songs, and add to that they are harmony solos. Cool stuff.
Took the bike for a spin last nite quick and cranked the tunes a little, I think I need to tweak my gain setting as I was getting distortion a little sooner than I expected based on what I heard in the garage. But, that could be me just turning it up louder since I was moving and had the wind & exhaust noise in play. Maybe I found the limit of the system, but it was still way louder than before.
