Ive literally done nothing this winter hahaha. After I added the other two 8s to the bags in the fall and swapped to a 1600.1 to power all 4 of them, I decided Im happy for a while. Moving to East Texas kinda killed the lets go bigger and bigger motivation because at any average bike night around this place, Ive got at least 1500 watts on anyone so you lose the urge to blow a fortune to be louder.
Its louder than it was at last years m&g but nothing like what some of you guys changed.

I am changing every speaker in my bike except for the horns in the fairing.

Thanks. Not bad for a guy that had no idea what a DSP was when I started this. Still not sure I know what I did. Going to add 8s to the back of the bags soon.

Im cruising around the net right now contemplating the new faital 6.5s for my dash. They claim 60-6k with hellacious power handling. I could ditch my 800.4 for a 1200.4, add them and run them hard from 100-4K probably and pick up a bit more volume on the front stage.
But honestly Ive had it apart so many damn times and ran and reran so much wiring I just havent been messing with it. Just enjoying it instead lol.

Which Faital?
I am only pulling mine for the MV challenge. They may end up going back in, we will see once I have everything back in and see how it sounds.. I understand not wanting to mess with it too though, This RGS is kicking me in the shin at every turn.

I believe they are the 6rs140s. And that will lead to the rabbit hole of how big of an amp can I finagle under my hood to run them because the 800.4 cant run the mr500ndys I have in my lowers to their full potential. Theyre just so much more efficient than the yellow baskets that Ive never bothered to look elsewhere.
I dont want to put it anywhere else because after 55 redesigns, I have 4 8s running on a 1600.1 thats mounted in the saddle bags and everything is setup so I can have the bags off in about 60 seconds longer than stock. I can put on my king or razor tour packs or run it naked and still have all 8 speakers running without any extra BS so I like it how it is.
This why I keep not messing with it lol.

I just finished a winter project, a 2016 RG Ultra that we put a Pitbull fat tire kit, Top Shop ***, a chopped tour pack, Alpine HU, 4 amps in the fairing, 4 Euphoria EX6NCD's in the fairing and lowers, 2 Euphoria EXM8N's in the tour pack and 2 DD Audio VO W10's in the bags, with a Dayton DSP. The bike was burgundy, but he wanted it solid black, so we painted the inner fairing and instrument cluster, trim pieces, modified the chopped tourpack to hold 8's and added 6.5's to the wethead lowers.
