Audio upgrade for novice RG owner
#11
Yeah, from what I've read, that DD AW/AT combo is highly recommended. My biggest concern is how to mount the tweets without drilling holes in my fairing or sacrificing gauges on my Road Glide. Do those need crossovers too?
Were you referring to JL's marine amp M400/4?
If so that combo might be a bit pricey for me at over $1000 without amp mount, adapter rings, etc. Good suggestions though! Thx!

Any other suggestions for coaxial speakers to pair with the BT2180 from anyone? Tailwind? Gann?

Get a B52 on a budget or a JL500x4 as the Cadillac, and u will be in very good shape.
Those Speaks run well in full pass so it's just a matter of setting the gains and we will make certain u get all the assistance possible to get everything installed and dialed in.
It will be a fun challenge but when u r done u will very very glad u left the option of amp dials on the table.

If u can get confirmation that the DB WDXMotos fit in the RG pods I can honest say that this speaker is a top notch coax speaker.

I just took a look at the JL website. I'm assuming you meant the MX500/4, and further assumed you meant in bridged mode (@ 250w)? Would that be too much power for those speakers? I'd hate to fry 'em.
