Take a look at some Focal's. Gonna cost a bit more but pretty efficient and sound very good...

I don't know... However I will let you know once the Biketronics BT7P1 7.1 are installed... As you already know... Moderation is not in the nature of a Cajun.. LOL

sounds like saddlebag lids are in your future. :-)

The BT and the Polks are both great sounding speakers albeit each with their own characteristics. The BT will certainly out perform the polks on the bottom end and the mids and highs are pretty darn good as well. They're just 2 totally different sounding speakers.

06 Cummins,
Not trying to persuade you in any way but I have been to UltraNutz house and heard his system in person. It does sound really good, and also loud. What may sound good to me may not appeal to you at all. Not trying to sell you on any specific speaker just stating a fact about hearing UltraNutz system in person and liking it. I have the BT7P1 Biketronics 7.1 speakers on order. I currently have the Kenwood KIV701 head unit, ARC KS125.2 mini amp, Arc 6.5'' speakers and have been running that system for 4 years now and the speakers are finally giving up on me. Just waiting on the 7.1s to get here.

Ultra would you recommend still wrapping the 7.1s with poly fill?

yes sir.. thin layered polyfil, 3 layers thick, 12x12" sqaure is perfect for each side.

I know Bill doesn't like the polyfil but with and without it is a noticeable difference in keeping that low end bass response nice and tight..

Biketronics is going to have the Sony line only because that's what is more compatible with both the biketronics and hawg wired controllers. If you don't see the Sony radio you want, call Bill directly at Biketronics and tell him what you want and it will be included in your order.

I am happy with the Hertz Hi-Energy components. http://www.hertzaudiovideo.com/default_en.htm running the Hertz HDP4 as an amp more than adequate for the system.
