Default need advice

looking to swap out boom 2 for fockford fosgate i currently have a 2015 ultra limited 4 speaker set fairings and tour pack

option 1 is swap for RF 4 speaker kit with amp quoted $1330

option 2 is swap for RF 4 speaker kit with amp and add on 2 more tms65 with lower pods $1890

do not want speakers in bags

will the lower pod speaker add to the sound going down the road or will you not notice the difference

also the amp is a 4 channel they said i only need the one amp and all 6 speakers with hook to it is this true ?

does anyone have this set up or any advice are the extra speakers worth the $560 difference

You could get the stinger 700 amp and 4 mmats 601cx speakers with line levelers wiring harness and possible adapters for them to fit in the tour pack pods for around a grand all in. Sound is MUCH better and louder.

Another set of mmats would only be around 200 bucks......

You can build/put together a much better sounding system for that money and most likely, cheaper than Rockford.

Have you decided that those are the only options you want to go with? I'm Im guessing having someone else install? If so there's nothing wrong with that but for that price I think there are better options. A 6 speaker stereo will typically always have more sound than a 4.

What teedoff said above is a good option if you want to stick with a coax speaker and not have to worry about mounting a separate horn or tweeter

The list I suggested has been very good and is a great system. Easy to tune and get sounding awesome. You'll have no trouble hearing your music at any speed and will be very happy plus will have saved a few bucks.

The OP looks to have a budget of at least $1900. Surely y'all can suggest something other than Mmat 601cx and a Stinger amp.

No not really. I made a suggestion based on my own very limited experience in bike audio, AND based on the fact that the suggestion I made is better and cheaper.. It was my suggestion and opinion. You and the other way more experienced guys can provide your own suggestions. That's what everyone is here for., right?

Agreed. Mmats are better than the Rockford in my opinion and on par w style of setup he was looking at. I asked op if that's what he wanted or a more pro audio approach.
