Speaker adapters, grill?
Looking to purchase a pair of Hertz HCX 165 for my 2015 RGS. I already have a Biketronics 4 ch amp and their line of speakers Titan 2's installed on my fairing. I do believe that the Titans efficiency is rated at 88... The Hertz are rated at 92.
I've been debating wether I should replaced my BT speakers for the Hertz on my fairing or just leave the BT speakers there and install the Hertz on the lower fairings. I've been told that the BT offer a better bass response than the Hertz due to their efficiency.
Since I'm no audio guru, I can't tell the difference because I don't know about all those technical terms I just want to have good music and enjoy it. So, I'm in the process of purchasing the Hertz HCX 165 but I need grills and speaker adapters, so where can I purchase the necessary items needed?
Thanks!!!

They got it backwards. The HCX have much more bass and both are roughly the same sensitivity.

What location are you looking for adapters and grills? Does the bike have lower on it now?

Lower fairings speaker pods.. I have the adapters that came in w the BT package deal but they were used on the setup. I'm purchasing a set of lower fairing and speaker pods and I'm going to be using speakers in that set up... So I need the grills, adapter plates, etc

Ok, like I said prior I'm no expert. But I would like to maximize the sound quality. Will the Hertz sound better than the Titan 2's??? I want to experiment and see, I may end up replacing the Titan 2's w the Hertz line but in not sure if I would benefit greatly??! Thoughts?

Awesome, thanks for all the info~ Trullly appreciated~ Going to install these speakers on my fairing and see how they sound and compared them to the BT Tittan 2's. I may end up using the Titans on lower fairings and keeping these on my batwing.. But I need to verify how they sound first. Not sure about the ebay speaker pods, since these are aftermarket. Right now I have $782 on boardtrackers basket for the lowere fairings and speaker pods, color matched paint. OUCH! Thanks brother
If you want the ability to Fade you will need a dealer flash, [Stock Ultra Flash, rear output and fade enabled, NO amp installed]. You will want to get another BT Line Leveler to be able to use the fade function. BT also has a nice wiring harness for connecting speakers in the lowers.

Do you have the BT speaker brackets under the fairing?
