I guess, I will be the first. There are better speakers for the money.
RF does make a decent product, but there are louder and better for the cost.
8 speakers on 1 amp, I really doubt you would hear it over the engine and stock pipes.
The claims made are broad brush strokes as are mine but, again for the money asked for the Sub-par RF speakers way more can be had.

What are your end goals? What are you trying to accomplish? More sound?, volume? Bass?

There are tons of choices! You just have to give us your parameters.

I am just a guy that has been riding 33+ years and loves to hear his music.

Yes my system is all RF, & I actually got the lowers to ensure fitment when we started getting asked this question. I am only running the 1 TM400x4AD amp with the fairing & lowers on the front channel and the bag lids on the rear. I have not gotten bitten by the bug to move into multiple amps and go bigger yet, but the itch is growing, lol, I am thinking about some type of tourpack, not sure what yet, but I did see that someone had a TP lid that held a pair of 6x9 (on each side of the pad) as well, so if I pull that trigger, I will probably go that route & add them to rear channel.

Hope this helps, ride safe!
Tell someone there to start making full range T750x1bd! That beast will be great on 10" mids!

Lets be honest. People with '13 and down bikes have what they have. No business should NOW start making parts for those old bikes. It is what it is. Trade the bike in or burn it for insurance money and start over.

2013's are 7 years old. It cant be smart for a company to start producing old parts. If they already have the molds or templates, i understand then making them. For the older bikes, theres alot of newer parts that will fit.

I'm not so sure that I agree. The pre 2014 lowers were around for a lot of years and not much competition in the 8" market. Plenty of people posting on here with older bikes. With the advancement of sled audio there seems to be a need there waiting for someone to fill it.

Ur rightfully gonna get several throat punches over that naive statement brother. The market cap for 13 down after market parts is extremely massive.
