Default Need some fronts!


I currently have four kenwood 6x9’s 2 in each bag. Hook up to Excelon xr-400 4-channel car amplifier and a eq 7 BAND EQUALIZER DUAL CHANNEL. I say it’s very loud but when I’m riding around 40 mph Ithe wind starts to drown out the music. I was thinking of adding these to my engine guards.

my question is since I have four speakers hooked up 2 to the front channel and two two the rear. Am I able to ad an additional 2 ? If so what would be the best way to wire them. Thanks

Yes. Run the Kenwood 6x9's in parallel on channels 1 and 2. ++/-- Leaves you channels 3 and 4 for the front speakers.

Thanks for the info. I just hope the speaker isn't too big.

I was referring more to the dimensions of the speaker buckets on the crash guards.

I would suggest just running a set of 8" lids and horns. With good speaks and amp, it would rock.

Hey Frosty ck out the DD audio website on their adventure page they have a custom SG with a speaker and horn on the crash bar...looks good on that bike...maybe bigger than you want, especially if you think the speakers in your link are big!

I went ahead and pulled the trigger on a pair of the Nutv5 speakers. All I have to say is they look bad ***. The only problem I had was I thought I had a 1.5” lindby bar it turns out they were 1.25”. I was able to get a bunch of the rubber spacers they provide and got it to fit nice and snug.
