Planning new audio upgrades.
So
.. I have been doing my due diligence trying to plan my audio upgrades to my 09 Ultra Classic. Looking for your thoughts.
heres what Im thinking.
*Kenwood 382bt head unit.
*changing all speakers from 5.25 to 6.5 using Infinity Kappa perfect 600x component. Fairing and tour pack pods. I will be using the jsp speaker rings to change size.
*soundstream 1200 w amp. It will give me rms 100x4 at 4 ohm
*metra install kit
*scosche handbar control module
*amp rack
*nvx silicone speaker baffles.
**** thinking about adding a 6.5 maybe 8 sub to tour pack. But not sure on that yet. Ideas thoughts welcome on this.
am I missing anything???? Anyone use the Infinity speakers? From what I read they have more lower end than the hertz show line. I would prefer quality over loudness. Lol.
what do you guys think?

I have also thought about changing the inner fairing to add a double din radio.
while its all torn apart I will be painting the inner to match.
I also want to update my guages. Looking at the guage modz

100x4 @ 4ohms maybe a bit light for an 8 speaker set up. Hwen you run that amp @ 2ohms you get 150W that will yield 75W per speaker that will be ok for the tweeters but not for the mids. I would pump the brakes on that set up. You could do Mmats 601cx and they sound good at 100W really loud at 125-140W. The GZ's are popular in the fairing also.

Ummmm????? This may be a stupid question but what are Mmats? And Gz?
I wasnt accounting additional draw for the tweeters. At least from what I read 100 x 4 was a good set up? I prefer good quality sound not just loud.

Mmats = PA601.4cx This is a very popular speaker in this forum. They come in at a good price and sound good. They also do NOT need a ton of power. 100-140W and they are happy
GZ= GZCF6.5spl They play lower than the Mmats but take more power. 175-250W but the more power the more the highs come out.
A very good and popular combo is 4 Mmats PA601.4cx and the Stinger amp SPX700.4 This is a budget system that sounds pretty good. You will need a Spacer for the tour pak and they need to be clocked ( turned the right way) to fit. The stinger will not kill your FM like the Soundstream does.
