Default Is this a decent setup?

Not looking to blow myself off the bike or anything, just sound better than stock or Boom Stage II options and be simple to set up. Is there any amp and processor mounting brackets to put all this stuff on pre-made?

This will be going on a 2015 RGS, and I'll most likely NEVER do lowers, bag lids, or tour-pak mounted speakers. What say the brain trust?

Anything you don't like about them in particular?

Not very efficient thus not very loud. U can do much better for the fairing.

I'm a huge fan of JL stuff, but not a fan of this 6.5.

Any 6.5, preferably marine-ish grade drop in speakers you'd recommend instead?

Hands down, the best full range fairing speak is the DD AW6.5. U can pair it with the tweeter of your choice but the DD AT28 or the DD BT30 are the most common.

Are there any coax options worth considering?
