The fairing is and was dialed in. Just changing to the Aquatic AV head-unit, done had the Kappas in the fairing with the factory HK unit so stayed with them there. I ordered the "Y" RCA's as suggested and will be looking now at a 4-channel AMP, the place I picked up the rear 6x8 and the installer I talked with has done the same setup on a few previous bikes the same as I am doing and mentioned on those he went with the kicker as I stated above. I did get a response from him last night on which particular AMP he utilized and it was the Kicker 42PXA300.4.

Any Input on this particular AMP?
What's suggested for a quality 4-channel amp that will still fit within the fairing?

Brother, ur not picking up anything we are laying down about being "dialed in."

Go down to the Lone Star Rally in a couple weeks and put ur ears on some other stuff before u do a damn thing.

I'm tapping out as to not derail ur thread brother, but I do wish u good luck on where this local shop is taking u.

I’m skipping out on the 6x8 in the bags for time being. Going to come up with something and glass my own lids instead. I plan on adding now tweeter pods which I have seen hogtunes or Kurakyn. Which of the 2 would be more suggested.

I know a lot of people are super against it but at least consider putting them in the gauge holes. It's free and a really good spot.

I have infinity Kappas 62.11i in the fairing now. Looking more last night I have think I found both the J&M Audio Rokker and Hawg Thnes has the tweeters that go in place of 2 of the gauges. Think I may go this route versus the pods I was looking at.

I'll give you one piece of advice (take it and run with it or go with what makes you feel good). If you want the best bang for your buck, stay away from J&M, Hawg Tunes or any of those guys. Tell us your budget, what you are looking to get out of it, and exactly what you are running now and these dude will give you the best advice that will give you a kick *** system for a good price.
