I appreciate the info guys. All the info cleared some things up. I did not know about the volume control issue. Now all I need to do is start spending some money and tearing up stuff. I wonder what parts I’ll let the smoke out of. Again guys, thanks for info.

Default Mmats

+1 on the Mmats 601.4cx. I have a set in the fairing and a set of the mid-range 601.4 in my lowers. The CX are crystal clear and loud. Perfect for volume at speed. The mid range fill in the sound and get just as loud.

I don't use my tour pak so I can't speak to speakers there, but I do have speakers in the lids. Much of that sound I don't hear at speed, but my wife does.

If I were you I'd stay with the Mmats all the way around. The 601.4 mid-range are less than the CX coax and well worth it.

Has anyone tried this? I have seen some comments about some plug and play setups People say don’t do it. Is this one of those? I don’t know about the system. Might not be worth the cost.
