The Sound Stream amp is the new '**** of the walk' for easy installation, and good power.

If you want/can install separate tweeters,.............the POLK MM6501 in the fairing, and the MM65 in the lowers will be the recommendation.

If you don't want the headache of the component install, 2 sets of MM651.

This is pretty much the standard system that Nutz recommends, and I would agree that for the $$$$$, it's a solid choice.

Just need an install kit with control module. Biketronics kit has the Automatic Volume Control, and Hawg Wired doesn't,...........but HawgWired has a nice metal chassis for the head unit.

BIKETRONICS KIT

HAWG WIRED KIT

Add in a set of speaker adapters for the fairing,........... Cycle Sounds Speaker Adapters

Some 10 gauge wiring & a fuse holder for the amp,....and your all set !!

Focal makes a great speaker. The Polyglass line are made in France and have a wonderful sound. I've auditioned Polk/JL/Hertz/Memphis and went with the Focal. Let your ears be the judge....

Was at the FOCAL dealer today. He said anything below FOCAL K2 line, would be doing my bike an injustice. This is the same company that is using my signature pic on their website...hee hee !!

Thought they might like to hear what the bike sounds like that they promoting on their site ! Needless to say,....they were quite impressed !!

"best"? or cheapest?

I like Amazon too, (have prime = free 2 day shipping), but pay tax etc. Or you can look on google (here) then hit shopping and compare prices. see it around 139 w/ free shipping.
