Yes I have the amp also... The system is not bad, just not good enough!
Now, for what ever reason I don't have F&R fade...But, it was all installed by RF techs!
So I'm sure they flashed it, what flash? It was done back in March was there a new flash sence then? The H-D dealer is kinda far away, I bought there cause they had the bike I wanted. Not sure if they even know or care what was done with the flash?
I really would think is was flashed with the RF techs doing the install.
Can someone tell me if the Matt's will be a direct bolt in with the RFs that are there now?
Thanks guys!

If I'm not mistaking, RF makes 2 amps?
I'm sure I have the 400

Pop the hood and post a pic of the amp. If it's the T400x4ad you should be fine on power. Why speculate when 10min will answer the question?

I wouldn't replace the RF just to swap to the mmats speakers.

Well I most likely will..I need amp & speakers for my boat so it's not like I can't use
the RF speakers..that's why I can replace the amp if there's a better option....
Thanks for your opinion.

He was referring to changing the amp. No need to pull it to run the MMats.

I know from reading past posts, that the 6x9 MMats go in pretty easy... something about enlarging or redrilling the speaker mounting holes. I believe TG has some first hand experience. Regarding the 6.5" unclear if you need to modify the pods. I'm running the BT speaker brackets so the MMats bolted right up.

Trimming the SG pods to fit larger speakers is pretty easy.

Running the same amp you got with (2) 6.5 mmatts 601cx.4 ohm. There's plenty of power for them. Sounds great
