Default Reckless Help.

Reckless has a few options for fairings. I've read a couple posts, tossed around a few ideas, but looking for a little help. They offer a blank slate, and if I can build a better system then what they offer, I'd rather.
Speaker options go as 4-5.25s, 2 6.5 round or 6x9 Ovals.
I'll add an Amp as well and not sure what to look for in a head unit.
Sorry this is so green, but I want to build the fairing and it's sound, right the first time
Thanks.

Buy the blank with 2 6.5's. You can build a far better system than what they'll sell you.

I helped a buddy do his. We used Mmats pa601cx and a soundigital 800.4, this was prior to the new GZ coax. He has a healthy fairing, and room to grow. Because we all do...

Also, I would recommend aggressive audio for speakers and amps. Solid dude, and always willing to help!

Thanks, I have time to pick up what I need slowly, winter is still here. I've been looking at the new GZ Coax, read good things.

Not sure on a head unit then. No need for a CD, touch or GPS, just Bluetooth, tuner, but one solid unit

I have seen Rockford Fosgate marine head units used in those fairings before. I've checked the specs on a couple of them and they look pretty good. The neat thing is with that fairing you wouldn't have to use the "special" Harley unit so you can save a ton of cash and get the same performance.
