Thnx guys.. yeah, it´s the bike on my avatar... wouldn´t want to ruin the look if they´re soo big though.. hahaa.. :-)
Maybe trying out first with 2x, as you say.. About the lows, really curious about how much they can handle..
I imagine they´re worlds apart compared with the Booms.

Haven't heard the boom but these speakers actually move when you have bass, I have never seen 3" speakers move for bass. They do sound good sitting in a garage and my bro said that he could hear them at 70 when just 2 were installed. He is very happy but I can tell you, and he looked for 2 years before putting this together. You can buy the kits on Steelhorseaudio.com or you can just buy all the stuff separately, prices aren't really much different. My brother had a bunch of Amazon gift cards or he would have just got the Steep Horse setup.

Hi guys!
As there are many options and I´m really lost about this, thought about asking you.
Would like to know if someone could help about the best sounding & more poweful system (watts) that I could purchase for a softail, Boom-style because the speakers would need to be placed in the handle bar..
Is the HD Boom system a good solution?
Are the shark shkHsp350 3" speakers + amp better instead?
This would be for my Nostalgia, but wouldn´t buy speakers if the sound get lost at cruise speeds..
Cheers & thanks in advance,
G.

Thanks, Rocket! their "ST600 Platinum Speaker System" looks great!
Pricey but then again, I just paid $800 to put a Boom 6.5 Nav radio in my Street Glide so it's all subjective. Rock on my friend!

I have/had one of the Shark units gifted to me. It's ok enough for tooling around town at 45 or less, but any higher than that and they not very useful. I can hear them at about 60-65, but only turned up to 11, which causes them to distort like crazy, so pretty much useless.
Cheers,
