When adding budget systems like this (the direction Im heading) is it necessary to upgrade the battery? Its something I never thought about but I heard it mentioned in another thread.

Thanks for the review Rob. Always good to see other options.
I have always wondered about DD Audio speakers. They seem budget priced but not much out there about them in the Harley sites. Anyone using them?

I am a big fan of DD audio speakers and amps. Great quality, good sound, efficient speakers so don't need a ton of power, offered in 2 and 4 ohm, good price.
Their 8" saddlebag setup is awesome. Nice kit and adds great bass while keeping half your bag space.
