Default Reckless owners...

Does anyone have the 2 speaker set up?

Alright I have researched and read forums about Reckless Fairings... But I find very little to nothing on the 2 6.5 speaker set up as it comes from Reckless.

Some audio forums talk about 2x 6.5's vs 4 5.25"... are louder and produce l better sound in mids to highs with bass not being all that good. So it seems that the 6.5's would be a better choice for hwy riding. TWO 6x9's are not an option for me as I think they look ridiculous.... jmho.

I finally pulled the trigger and got a Reckless ordered today with infinity unit and 2x 6.5's... did I make the better choice for hwy 70mph riding?

I am looking out for a similar unit and may have questioned about the one you are looking for on ebay. I asked if an amp could be added to the Infinity and got a yes response. I like the 4 5.25" better than the 6X9 myself. More surface equals more sound. After trashing the Memphis Shades recently next fairing will have decent sound system.
