2017 SGS Audio UpgradeI know there’s a lot of discussion on this but I’m going crazy trying to dial it all in on picking a good set up. So if you had a 17 SGS and about 2K to play with! What would your audio set up be for a 4 speaker set up running off stock head unit. Fairing and lids? The stock sound isn’t all that bad. But with A stage one kit pipes, tuner and heavy breather I lose sound around 80mph. Ready set go lol

Hertz SV or Beyma in the fairing
DD VO B3 Horns in fairing
8" lids
Focal Sport amp or SD800 and ARC PSM
SD 250 amp for horns
Gonna have to bring some low mids from the lids to compliment the PAs and horns in the fairing so take ur time on that speak selection for that target freq range.

Not worried about color matching I have a great painter. Just want a great 4 channel amp, great 6.5’s up front and great 6x9’s in the lids. I’ve heard great things about Biketronics and the customer service is amazing. I was leaning toward them.

As far as amps go:
JL xd series, Rf tm400x4ad, stinger psx 700x4, focal sport are some good sounding amps.
6.5 fairing:
hertz hcx, sony xs-gs 1621, infinity kappas, arc 602 motos, wdx motos are just a few.
6x9 speakers:
DD vo's, hertz mpx 690.3, sony xs-gs 6921's, cant recommend polks any more do to the heat problems and edx 69's.
These will provide a good sounding setup and any of those speakeers will sound good with any of those amps as I have run them all. There are amp/speaker combos that just don't sound good together and bt amps with certain speakers can sound tinny.
Just my thoughts as others may chime in.

With that level of budget you can swing MUCH higher than Infinity Kappas. Those are very budget sounding speakers. I'd consider some pro audio and horns, or something like the Beyma coax with a nice loud 6X9 in the lid that can fill out some low end. I'm partial to the DD VO 6X9's.
