I've read just about every thread up here and most of it is bickering about if someone else will or wont test the stuff their pushing against some other brand. Personally I don't care about price (within reason) because I only plan on running the one set of speakers.

Currently stock 2013 FLHX. I plan on running the RF PBR300 with just the front speakers and the iPod controller and stock radio. So now my issue is what front speakers to get?

I run the 6" wind splitter windshield and I can't hear the radio at Highway speeds.

So with the above stated, what speakers would you run?

I've had great luck with my Polk MM651s, they were the forum favorite until a bad batch soured people to them.

+1 The Polks are pretty good for the money. That's what I have in the front fairing being powered by a PBR 300x2.

Wow just came back to see what you guys recommend, and it's split BT 7.1 or Polk's. I'll go check on the prices and spec's. Probably order one of them soon (maybe today).

Just keep in mind when you look at price that you will have to buy adaptor rings with the Polks and the Biketronics 7.1's come with them.
