Default 1st for me

When I first bought my fairing I set it up with a Kenwood head unit, arc 125 mini amp, Hertz HCX 690 speakers, the system sounded good but I wanted more, I added a pair of Polk dB691 in the saddlebags and wired them in parallel,

Fast forward the Kenwood has since been replaced with a Sony's DSX-MS60,
The ARC with JL MHD 600/4
The surrounds on the Hertz were torn so I replaced with Audiofrog GS693's.

The Hertz have been in a box in the garage for the past 6 months. I made several calls to Hertz for repair they do not repair only replace in warranty, called several speaker repair shops, and they said I would have to send them in for an estimate, paying both ways for regardless I just put Em in a box.

After a little more research I decided to repair them myself, bought the rubber surrounds for $29.00/pair, came with the surrounds, glue, and instructions, I ripped the old ones out, cleaned everything up, glued the surround to the cone, wait 1 hr, then glued the surround to the frame. Not the prettiest but better then being in a box or the garbage. Will be swapping out the Polks in the saddlebags tomorrow.

I still want to hear your setup. Was talking to Chris over at the Audio Edge on Hwy 69 and he's going to be carrying the Audiofrog's soon, he might even have some in now.
