Default pbr300x4

Has anybody had any problems with the pbr300x4? Thinking about running that and 2 sets of m262b. How does this system work?

I don't know how you would use those speakers in the fairing with the bridge mounted tweeter sticking up the way it does. And the basket looks too big for the tour pack pods.

The speakers match up to the amp specs, but I'm not impressed with them. They have a very low sensitivity rating. Why did you pick those, if I may ask.

I currently have the PBR300x4 in my Streetglide. I'm pulling them out to put in PBR300x2. The 4 is just not good powerful amp.

Just saw them matched with the amp. I wasn't going to put them in the lower fairings and the fairing. My next option is jl xd400 x 4 and hertz 6.5.

so you went from the PBR300x4 and jumped to the JL Audio?

what is with all the JL Audio stuff lately?

good equipment no doubt but underpowered and overpriced.

even though I feel the 300x4 is also underpowered as well, at least RF priced it accordingly.

OP what are you trying to accomplish sir?

head unit?
speakers in fairing?
other speaker location not mentioned but 2 pair of speakers mentioned

I have no complaints about my PBR300x4... Birth cert. said 86x4 @ 4ohms... Should match perfectly with my setup.

Ok here we go.
Not sure about changing Hu yet.
But I have replaced rear tour pack speakers with memphis 5.25. Want to add speakers to the lower fairings. And replace the speakers in the fairing. I started out talking to da performance and got his input and price. He recommended jl xd400 and the hertz speakers but I couldn't quit afford it. Then I starting checking in to the rockford stuff and saw it's a little cheaper. But if it's not worth it I will save a little longer and get the other stuff

well being that the JL amps also cause FM interference issues being a class D amp, then I would opt for the SoundStream PN4.520D which is more power than any of them and sits right on top of the stock head unit.

And it's 1/3 the cost of the JL
