They are outrageous. More along the lines of wishing HD went that big stock from factory. I thought FKM made one but not seeing it now. Way too much cost for the gain there.

It's only $1500 + paint lol.

I think they are only making them by order anymore.

Ok Alex, I want a 800/4 amp that has true 200 watts per channel at 4ohms, and is no bigger than the diamond audio one. But better yet give me the same amp size in a 1200/6 with a true 200 watts per channel at 4ohm. Ok, I know that last one is unrealistic. How about a 900/6 in that size? I want an amp that can run 4 channels at 200watts. That does bags and fairing, and then 2 channels at 50watts each to run a set of horns.

The one thing I would like to improve is to get more volume from my lowers, maybe some kind of SPL or PA (not quite sure of the difference) down there! Ive heard somebody mention, new lowers that will hold an 8 inch woof, hope they include a horn port!!

They will take up to an 8.8 and coming uncut so you can cut for an 8, not sure about horns. They were selling for $575 during the preorder.

If guys what 8's in the lowers we could probably glass rings into stock lowers. 8.8's would be huge though.

Hey Alex, I would prefer to do 6.5 0r maybe 7.1 down there, has anybody tried a SPL or PA type coaxial down there I see MMats has a couple of coaxials! Keep in mind I'm running a 4180 (no gains) and no PSM (signal processor). My next upgrade will probably be an adjustable amp under the hood, before changing the lower speakers, whadya think, thanks bro!
