Default Different Setup

Was at dealer getting flash and crew showed up from Washington and we started talking audio, out of the bunch there where three of them on RG all running hertz hex165 fairing and lowers,pioneer 6902 in lids one with two sets one at wheel and Rockford tm400/4 stereo shop did install so none new how things where wired but assured me no line leveler no psm no Twk.
This was great for me cause never heard anything but boom there choice of components was a learning lesson for me , system sounded great 6902 hit hard and the hertz 165 not much for bass but liked the overall sound made me scratch head could I be over thinking audio and should have just put good coaxial speakers in and moved on. There music was way out of my genre but nice guys and enjoyed the chat.

Point being learned don't have to have three amps 8 speaker 's and only what is talked about here to have a nice system. Not new info for you folks that get to here lots of different setups but was great info for me.

That's that finish line thing brotha!!!! How much is enuff?
Regarding your experience today, most of this stuff sound pretty good parked. It's the 70 mph test that defines your finish line. In your case u have surround sound at 80 mph, and ur buddies from the shop have some coax pushed all the way up delivering the only sound the rider is getting above 50 mph.
