Default Opinions on a system

Got a 2020 roadglide special and been thinking of adding a amp n speakers. Still undecided if I’m going to add lowers with speakers. But saw a add for a 2 speaker deal and was wondering what those with more experience thought of it.

I have a 17 RGS and just planned on a 2 speaker setup. Well that plan changed. I'm glad I went with a 4 channel amp because 2 weeks later I bought lowers and 2 more speakers. Then.....that plan changed too. Another amp and speaker lids. I went on a budget however. Stinger 700/4 with 4 MMats 601cx's. NVX VADM4 amp and RF cut in lid kit. I'm sure I'll upgrade those speakers before long though. I've been reading a ton on this forum for the last month or so. Tons of info and help here.

That would sound flat out horrible as a two speaker set up.

Have to agree. If I were only doing a 2 speaker system it definitely wouldn't be with a pro audio style speaker and a horn or tweeter.

Since that new SV has such a small magnet it might be a good tp option.
Anyone ever tried the DD neo in the tp?

Plans have a way of changing..adding lowers to my 4 speaker system this off season. OP If your unsure of what your audio future holds get a 4 channel amp... The MMats 601cx's / Stinger 700 amp combo gets a lot of recommendations - reasonable cost and decent sound. IMHO you can spend more but the returns diminish,, Keep in mind what your goal is,, build an audio comp bike or have decent sound quality on the road at 70+ mph...

Enjoy the ride....

just great sound at highway speeds. I’m thinking I’ll go with the stinger 700.4 and mmats. I had lowers on my streetglide before trading it in on the roadglide. So adding lowers will probably be in my future.
