Strait, I have Focal component's in my fairing, KPS's (list $799, I got them open box, less than $300) point is I put the Titan II's HAT's in my lowers They sound just as good for the money. I was so impressed with them I got Harley color matched lids like you plan to do and put the 6x9 HAT's in those from Biketronics. Those 6x9's are MONSTERS. I have only had them out for a short ride but sitting in the Garage and out on the road I can hear them crystal clear and loud. Having Hogtunes, Polk db's Focals and Hat's I really am impressed with the Biketronics Hat's, Molarman on here is getting the Biketronics 7 inch HAT's (brand new) for his bagger. Any how the HAT's are very good speakers and also The Polk 651 mm are probably the best bang for the buck. Good luck!
Did you have to modify the bag lids or just drill new mounting holes on the metal rim or the 6x9?

This is where it's getting a little crazy in my head as I don't have it all sitting in front of me to look at the Titan twos are 4 ohm speakers the ss pn520d is a 2 ohm stable amp my factory head unit is 2ohm? ( I think I read that ) so I can run the Titan 2 in the fairing bridged at a 2ohm load and supply 260 watts to the speakers, or will I have to run them single channel at 130 watts to each speaker until I change my head unit out. I was thinking I had the first part of this right but I wanna be sure I got all my ducks in a row before I start piecing this together and ordering stuff so it doesn't cost me all at once if I wasn't getting married in June I would just do it all at once along with couple other things but my money situation fixin to change but that's another story altogether.

The stable ohm rating of the head unit means nothing to the speaker when using an amp.

in response to your other post Strait...
No sir actually you're doing it correctly. Speakers should be changed first to see if that's all you need, then amp, then head unit in stages as you described.
If you're going to do rear speaker lids, I wouldn't bridge the amp to the fronts to save yourself the trouble of rewiring it when you do add the lids.
Simply run the Titan IIs off the front channel of the amp, and connect your rear speaker wires so you don't have to pull your fairing apart again. Then when you get the rears in, connect your wires and off you go.

A quick question about Polk speakers
UltraNutz,
I am looking to upgrade my 2012 SG sound system. I want to stick with the stock radio, but want to add an amp and change out the speakers. I was first looking at the J&m system but after reading some of your post about the soundstream pn4520d and the polk mm651's I feel this is the route I want to go. I have looked up the polk speakers and there seems to be a few different ones to choose from. Can you tell me the exact part# you recommend? By the way at this time I just want to run with the fairing speakers.
Thanks for your time.
