To put it bluntly, the sound out of my Hoppe Quadzilla sucks! My friend has a Street Glide and updated his system and gets amazingly clear sound out of his 2 fairing speakers. All I get from my Hoppe is
treble and the bass distorts if you turn it up. I dont know much about electronics but here is what I am after and what I have to work with. There is no room for an amp in the fairing and I wont put one in the saddlebags or enough room for bigger speakers inside the fairing. so I need to stick with 5 inch speakers and no amp. I exhausted the search on here so here is what I am after.
The following numbers are another language to me. The stereo I have is a Jensen JHD3630BT with built-in MOSFET amplifier (22 watts RMS/45 peak x 4 channels) and the speakers are Jensen 5" 2-way motorcycle speakers 35W RMS, 75W Max 4 Ohms(Model number JXHD50HPB).
If I could get away with a new set of 5 inch speakers that would be perfect but I dont expect miracles, after all you can only get so much sound out of small speakers. Thanks in advance!

Trigger1911 that looks like the exact same as my wife's Hoppe fairing. I had NO trouble putting 4 Kappa 5.25" and a CV B54 in the fairing. I had to ditch the plastic "rain shield" but it can be replaced with a plastic table place mat. It only took me about 4-5 hrs to do the whole job.
