How does your system stack up?
Not sure how to say this so it makes sense so bare with me.
All the reading and research I do on here still leaves me with a lot of unanswered questions.
I do not live near anyone that is into bike audio so this page and you guys are it. Don't get me wrong the info and guys offering it are the best.
My main question (lately) is how will my system stand up to others. I do not plan to enter competitions but what if I wanted to?
I know the system in my Road King would not cut it in a competition but how much more would it take? (I'm planning my next...)
So for a example my system is:
Kenwood Hu 2v pre amp.
4- 5.25 kappas and Cerwin Vega B4 in fairing.
4- 693.9i kappas and a RZ4 2000d in bags.
For the guys in the know, what would this system put out when it is put up to a meter?
I think it would be great if guys would post up what they have/had and where it stands as far as competition so some of us can get a better feel as to what we really have or are looking to put together.
Not looking to have the guys that are seriously competing to give secrets. Just like to know where the rest of us stand.
Thanks
Brad

Brad not to sound harsh brother but that wouldn't cut it. You need to run pro audio speakers to be anywhere near competitive, no one in competition circles is running coaxial or component speakers.

I guess what I am trying to get to is how the average guy can tell how a setup will preform compared to a competition setup. The system I used for a example was my first try and in the group I travel with it rocks. But I know it wont cut it in the comp. circles.
Maybe I should look at it differently.
For conversation purpose using my set up as an example lets say it would rank at a 3 in a scale from 1 to 10. 1 being bottom line budget and 10 legitimate competition.
What I am looking for is how I know or what it would take to get a system that would be a 7 or 8 on that scale.
The bottom line is with all the info I can get here I still do not know how a set up will stand up. You guys are great with the info you have but I still don't under stand....

Your system will "stand up" to the average Joe systems. But when you start talking about DB's and meters. It's an entirely different world. We call it "The dark side"
I'm pretty sure HAZE copyrighted the term. LOL!!
The guy with the pro audio speakers will blow away the component and coaxial guys all day everyday.

four to six 8's
two 10's
a 12 inch sub in the tourpack
six horns
2 batteries
3-4K watts.
Good HU
and a few other goodies.
Thats a pretty standard set up. Lots of variations though. You could do away with the tourpack sub and put four 8's in the tourpack and then 8 inch subs in the bags in they're own enclosure. You could do 8 inch lids or put three 6.5's across the lids or dual 6.5 and horns in dual 6x9 lids.
Lots of options. When ever someone's ready let me know!!!

I'll find out where mine will stand on June 10th, but after seeing who will be competing in my division i might just concede after hearing one of these legit shop guy's bikes lol.
I'm gonna be in the 8 speaker and under with no sub.
