Default JL audio

I am going with all JL on my 09 cvo glide. I have Jl c3-650 speakers on order and Jl c2 6x9s in the basement. I have a Jl m400 amp on the bike now.....Did I make a good choice? I know the amp is good and I have heard the c2s in a car and they were awesome but I don't know about the c3s and all of this on a bike in the open.....feel free to post ur honest opinion I got thick skin.

Very good choice. The C3's and C2's are awesome! The C3's are very loud with good bass. Might have the bridge that amp to get the full potential out of your speakers.

Yep! Both speakers can handle way more than what they are rated. The C3's do best at 130-150 watts of power. Same for the C2's.
