Amp first, then the speakers.

You will really like this combo. I'm running the same set-up now and it sounds great!! You will also need 6.5" speaker adapters and a 10awg amp install kit. Just follow UltraNutZ step-by-step instructions for this set-up and you should be good too go!

Do you happen to know where I can find the step by step you are referring to? Is it in this forum?

There is a sticky at the top of the Audio Forum that has step-by-step instructions for various models and set-ups. If you don't see your model listed, there are plenty of folks here that can help walk you though it.

I sorta disagree.. should be the other way around IMO..

get your speakers first and that may just make the rider happy. If not, then add an amp into the mix.

if you know for sure you're going with an amp up front, then you match your components; amp to head unit, speakers to amp.

on a side note.. ran the dragon 4 different times this past week with some newbies.. I found a road (not new to most but was to me) that runs off the blue ridge parkway called devil's whip.. it's highway 80.. that road FAR surpasses the dragon IMO... that's 12.5 mi or so of some of the best riding there is in NC...

I enjoy NC 80 allot more than the Dragon myself and it's not far from the house. There's really not a bad road in the area IMO although road condition will definitely vary. I hope you enjoyed yourself while in western NC!
