Default What would you recommend?

What are your top 5 speakers would you use in the batwing fairing (6.5) on a SG and in the saddlebag lids (6x9)?

agree with Pioneer - although... Pioneer, did you actually had the Kickers installed once in your bike's life or did you hear them from fellow biker?

Heard them on another guys bike. He had the CS 6.5's too. Same with the Polk 6x9's. Brother-in-law just installed the Infinity 6.5's. Nice.

my only change would be in red and only because of the elements with the 6x9s.

Ditto on Pioneers speakers with one minor change. . . The Next Level KS series from Kicker are awesome!! I have these in my lids now. . . Kicker KS693. The CS are nice but the KS took me to another level!!

I will always defer the technical stuff to Nutz . . . . But I ran that system and it rocks big time!! If your not getting clear sound there's a huge problem in your set up.

I have the same set up but 2 PBR 300x4. It sounds great (if you're not moving). On the highway, it sounds like sh.t. I'm returning everything back to Amazon and gonna get it right this time.
