Default Blown Fairing Speaker Replacement

I was running Infinity Kappa speakers for 2 years and one of them blew. I was thinking of replacing with Hertz SV 265.1 400 watts Midrange Speakers. Has anyone used these? Any reviews or suggestions of something better or value for price? I don’t want to spend over $250 on speakers.

The SV is a good, loud speaker however they are a mid range only speaker. You would need a set of horns to go with them.

For my money, I would do the Mmats PA601CX in the fairing.
200 shipped is typical and play well.

I have a 2017 Street Glide Special. My amp is a CV B52 Stealth Bomber 1000w 2 channel.

The B52 should push the MMats just fine. You should also be using the Biketronics Line Leveler if you are not already.

Do do I want to buy the 4 or 8 ohm version? Also, do I want the water treatment option? It asked both of those questions when ordering. Thank you.

Due to a bum hand, I need someone to changeout the fairing speakers in my 2014 FLHXS. Since I don’t know a reputable shop in North NJ, would ANYONE recommend my local HD dealer??? I am planning on Mmats PA601CX speakers with a CV B52 two channel (with leveler if I need). Thoughts?

Yes, I wish I could do the work myself...
