As long as you purchased from somewhere with a warranty (such as Sonicelectronix), I would't give it a second thought. I'd skip the HW speaker adapters unless you purchase their new adapter braces, without them you'll loose the horizontal fairing braces altogether with those adapters. I've had the RF/Polk combo for several months now with zero issues. Set it to HP with freq between 60-80hz and AVC no higher than two bars and enjoy!!

just make sure your connectors that plug in the speakers (4 each) fit snug on the spade, one of mine fell off from vibration I'm thinking! It must have been dangling and trying to connect and that is why it made the speaker sound blown out.

He works at VIP autoworks in mentor, he has booths set up and bike nights and shows. What is ur take on this line level converter thing, I guess it helps because it is the stock head unit. I don't know if I should get one or not. Lol
