Stereo/speaker suggestions?
I just installed my new reckless fairing and now need to add a stereo. First will I need an amplifier to be able to hear the stereo at highway speeds. What stereo/speakers would you recommend. I need 6x9 speakers. I want to be able to use my I-phone and have a radio. Bluetooth would be nice but not necessary. I'm really afraid of the ones with the removable faceplate as I hear there are lots of problems with them due to all the vibrations. Also do you feel it is better to go with a marine stereo or regular car radio with the cover ?

get the sony dsx-s310btx head unit. (had mine for almost 2 years before selling the bike and never had a problem with it)
alpine ktp-445u amp (4 channel)
speakers - get the best you can afford that will fit. This is the heart of it all. If the radio and amps are nice and you skimp on speakers, you'll regret it.
if you're going to want handlebar controls, get a biketronics retro radio kit and it also comes with a cover for the radio for when you wash it, etc.
although there are certain precautions/steps taken to make a radio "marine grade" i can show you just as many stats where marine radios fail as much if not more than any other radio does. The above radio is $189. After 2 years if it goes out, buy another.. money well spent in my opinion.
