Default I 'think' I have decided..

2018 RGU.... Keeping stock HU...
Biketronics 4180 Amp w/breakout harness and Line Levelers
Hertz 1650.3 w/Tweets (From Biketronics)

Have not made final decision on Tour Pack speakers. I rarely ride 2 up and wear a full helmet.

Thoughts?
Appreciate the input. Would like to do this right the 'first time'.
Looking for solid warm sound that I can hear at highway speeds...
Not looking to compete w/the neighbor at the red light

Thanks all.
-Ryan

I have the Infiniti kappas in the TP holes. I like them a lot. They are loud enough to hear at 90 and they fill in well with the milli pros in the faring. Only issue is they fit better with spacers. I did get them to fit without, but it was to tight IMO.

Better suggestions to come I’m sure, for I have not the knowledge you seek.

Skip the pods. Invest in lids.

1. Way more options for lid speakers
2. Lids offer far better sound quality potential than anything in the TP pods
3. You can easily sell the lids if you need to
4. They look pretty cool
5. Bunch of people making lid condoms if that's a concern

Honestly I don't think you'll be happy with the Biketronics amp if you're looking for a "solid warm sound" The Biketronics amp is not warm. Not saying it's not a good amp. Just saying for your ears you might take a look at some other options.
