Default Another thread on (What I should do...)

After countless hours of research on different threads on Hd forums of audio preference, I research a set of speakers for an hour that a no longer made according to pokes website. I currently have a stock HK with hog tunes amp/speakers . I was thinking Aquatic head unit with soundstream PN2.350 amp and Polk Audio MM6501 6.5" this seems like a good combo three years ago . So I'm open to suggestions i'm converting my bike from a street glide to a Road glide thank Adam

These speakers were recently certified on the forum as budget friendly speakers for our fairings. Might want to check them out.

Your converting street glide to road glide. Not a easy or cheap swap. What are your system goals? I wouldn't limit myself to some coaxials for that conversion. You jave something planned for rear or just front?

Yes changing my street glide or Road glide, it's a lot cheaper than buying a new bike . System goals I'm really looking forward to the newer technology the radios have to offer . Nothing planned for the rear .

Just out of curiosity Adam and since Slye pointed it out. (Thanks Slye! I missed that) Why the conversion to a roadglide? Why not just trade for a Roadglide? Same year etc.,
