I’m pretty much doing a complete overhaul on the audio. Changing dsp, amps and speakers. Adding stretched bags and might even build a different set of 8” lowers if things go well.

Which amps and speakers are still undecided. I have a few to try and may need to have a garage sale soon to free up shelf space.

I’m adding 10’s and some compression drivers in a pair of knock off stretched bags. GZCK yellows and ST-25s. 1250 watts ish.

Thanks to forum members I managed to shoe horn a TWK 88 next to the 4.250 in black ***’s nose bag. Using a tray from one of the ones whom shall not be mentioned,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Big help, thank you guys.

Hertz SV in lowers coming out, replacing with Beyma pro65nd.

I have to try and get the tuning part figured out, while not releasing the magic smoke. I heard it’s a beyotch to try and get OEM replacement smoke...

Not sure what to put in the fairing...?


Suggestions? Not trying to derail AD’s thread.

With help from Adenton528 I am completely upgrading my Audio. I am replacing the CT Sounds 6.5's and 6x9's as well as DS18 TW710 Horns. I have 8" GZCK200SPL in my bags bridged to a SD400.4 amp. I am replacing that amp with a SD800.4 and will again bridge the GZ 8's. Replacing the CT sounds 6.5's in the fairing with Beyma 6P200ND. Replacing the CT sounds 6x9's in the lids with Beyma 6G40ND 6.5's. All of the 6.5's will be powered by another SD800.4 amp. I am also replacing the DS18 Pro TW-710 Horns in the fairing with Beyma SQL60's powered by a SD250.2. I will be using a DD DSI-2 DSP for tuning. I have everything removed and am anxiously awaiting the new equipment.

I think that's going to be impressive. Definitely come back with some pics, videos, and reviews.

I was more than willing. My old system was "shop" installed, sounded bad, and gave me nothing but problems. This time I'm doing the install and may ask lots of questions but it's going to be rock solid.

Upgrading from Boom Stage 1 to Boom Stage 2. I'm assuming that will make it sounds twice as good.
