so here are kind of my options I'm trying to figure out if the additions 25w or so will be worth the extra cost. This stereo system will be put in a 2010 Road Glide Custom.

Headunit:
Pioneer DEH-80PRS

Option 1:
Amp - RF Punch PBR300x4
6x9 Lids - RF Power T1692 - 100w rms
6.75" fairing - RF Punch P1675 - 60w rms

Option 2:
Amp - ???
6x9 - Kicker 40CSS694 - 150w rms
6.75" - Kicker 40CSS674 - 100w rms

What's your budget. That PBR amp is pretty crappy man...actually really crappy. There's MUCH better stuff out there at decent prices.

Are trying to retain FM reception.

 

After the headunit I have a budget of about $850. I can get a discount on Pioneer, Kenwood, Diamond, and Rockford. Yes I am trying to still have FM reception why?

 

The other amp I was looking at was the Rockford Fosgate TM400X

 

I love the TM400x, in fact I'm running a TM400x2 right now but that will be half your budget right there.

 

I can get it at a deep discount. I would have roughly $400-500 left for speakers

 

Haze asked the FM question because you will lose your FM reception with most of the class D amps out there. Only a select few will allow you to keep your FM. The Rockford TM4004Xad will maintain your reception. The Kickers are great entry level speakers but you can do a whole lot better with the budget you have left.

 

Well if the RF TM400x4ad will maintain FM reception that is probably what I will go with. What are some different speakers you would recommend then that would be much better for the bike. I wanted to go with some marine grade speakers originally but have heard the sound quality isn't as good plus with the tweeter being integrated into the grills that can be an issue with installing them in the fairing and speaker lids.

 

I'd take a look at the Hertz line of speakers for the fairing and the Pioneer 6900pros for the lids. Marine rated speakers are overrated in today's world. Most of the high end speakers do well in the elements. The Pioneers are $130 bucks and worth every penny! You want your most expensive speakers in the fairing.

 

I completely understanding going with the Hertz or something similar in the fairing. What about Diamond Audio in the fairing? Are these also quality speakers? I just looked at the Pioneer 6900pros. I don't know if they would work well in my Lids with the way the tweeter sits up super high
