The HU is decent at best. It has a 13 band EQ but it's preamp is only 2.5v. Prefer 4-5volts.

The speakers are decent budget speakers. Lots of guys have ran them in the tourpack pods, myself included.

The speaker adapters are great. They are my go to adapters.

The amp....Total Garbage.

This of course is just my opinion.

Great info! I’m totally stupid when I comes to audio. Is there a descent setup I can get for $500-700 range?

LOL!! Pretty much a collective opinion on that amp! OP you can do a little damage with a $700 budget. Nothing too extreme but we can get you loud and clear at 80mph on that budget. What bike are we working with?
