The ARC is the size of a pack of smokes and will mount several places under the hood.
If u don't care about size then the JL is prob the best quality available

The ARC is just a simple yet practical solution. And it does perform well. Plus u could prob jam up to Badd Azz Customs and pick one up same day. Then over a 12 pack u and I could do a soup to nuts intro at the lake and get a few baseline tunes loaded that u can tinker with to meet ur specific ears & riding styles desires.

I will add the disclaimer for those reading this thread and only interested in making one step from Boom speakers into a practical speaker tier like Kappas, Polk, Kicker, etc.. there is absolutely no need for a DSP. Get the BT Line Lever, put the hood back on and go ride. If u have any inkling of moving into the more complex audio setup, get the DSP and skip a step in the process.

I am so glad the outer faring comes off as easily as it does. ha.

Hope this doesn't come off the wrong way, but you're running a pretty low power amp with Polk speakers. To be honest in a car environment, those may be just fine but with the wind on a sled, it's a recipe for not being happy and listening to distortion at high volumes. I think it may be a good time to stop where you are in the buying process, evaluate your goals and set a budget. There are some good components out there that can be had at reasonable prices and get you riding happy, but what you have just isn't going to cut it. There are plenty of tried and true $400-$700 systems that'll knock your socks off coming from boom.
