Default More Upgrades -- VID!!!

Everyone likes a vid so here's the latest upgrades. Last video was a Sony HU, 4180, BT7P1 in the fairing, 6.5 Titan in the lowers, and a set of Pioneer 6X9 inside the bags. We have now upgraded to:

Kenwood 998 HU
BT 4180
BT 7.1 "PROS"
BT 6.5 Titans lowers
Sound stream Bullet tweeters in fairing
Soundstream TN4.900 inside the bags powers
Hogtune Lids - Infinity 693.9i
Pioneer 6X9's inside the bag

Holy smokes does this hit hard. You'll notice my left saddlebag vibrating. The right side latch came loose and you'll hear the rattle. I need to tighten it up as it sounds pretty crappy in the vid when I hit the right side of the bike. Volume is 30 out of 35. On the highway I can hit 33 on most songs and still be clear as day.

Now I'll add that I tried out a set of Fosgate T1693 in the lids. Man these were super clear and crisp, but not as loud as the Infinity's and not the same low end. The Infitys are not as clear and crisp but they get so damn loud -- perfect for a bke. Amps I tried the Arc 600.4, Fosgate T400X4AD, Power Acoustik RZ4.3000D, and a few others to try out and while they were all awesome at something I came back to the trusty 4180. Some were louder, others were cleaner, some had better low end, but the combination of most things was with he BT Amp. Not sure yet what the next move is? Replace the Pioneers with another set of Infinity's? Add tweeters/horn inside the bags? Who knows. I'm pretty happy with how it sounds now....but messing around with the bike somedays is almost as fun as riding it. Also, Gannicus keeps trying new **** out on his bike and keeps telling me how great it sounds.

Enjoy the vid. Hope you guys like R&B!!

Thanks brother, I'm getting there with help from you, Gann, and UN!!

You know it's tough in these vids to really capture bass on an iPhone. It picks it up as distortion but in person this things HUM'S!! I still have a few things on my mind I'd like to try out, but I'm close.

Mark - those are 10 inch LA Choppers, Twin Peaks I think.
