Default 2015 UL help for newbie
I was going to do a full Rockford Fosgate setup, fronts, rears and bag lids on my 2015 Ultra Limited

Now after some research I am rethinking it, now I am thinking about using hertz mpx165.3 pro in front and rear pods and waiting on lids to see how it sounds.


So i would need an amp that will
power the hertz and have emough headroom if I decide to
do lids

Thoughts? Opinions? All are welcome

Thanks in advance 👍

The Hertz speakers are pretty power hungry. You'll be hard pressed to find 1 amp to power all 4 Hertz and a future set of lids. When you get to the lids a second amp will be in order.

I have just reviewed the Biketronics kit and it appears to be a good option. All of the reviews I can find have been positive and it comes with a lifetime warranty.

Those hertz will be rough to fit in tourpak pods. They will fit the fairing pods with some modification to the pods itself. You will need to mount them from inside the pods.

I think a Focal Sport will do damn fine w the Hertz in the fairing and pods in parallel on 1/2 and the lids on 3/4. Just shop hard for that amp as there are some pretty good deals to be had.
