Default New System - Review

First and foremost I need to give a big thanks to Tailwind - Todd, he was extremely helpful with the entire ordeal. Great person and great forum member willing to lend out a helping hand. Can't say enough good things about that.

After reading tons of posts and threads about speakers to get I ended up going with a company that had mixed reviews, most said they're good speakers but better can be had for the same or cheaper price. I ignored these comments and chose to only read that most people thought they were good speakers. (I won't say the company name as I don't want to bash any company out there for no real reasons.)

After deciding I wasn't happy with these speakers I got back to reading and decided to reach out to Todd and ask for his opinion's and help.

I ended up getting a Focal Sport Amp - (From a local Car Audio shop for $500) and a set of Hertz Audio MLK 165.3's (From the Same local car audio shop for $600) I used a set of BikeTronics Speaker mounts, rings and their tweeter mounts to mount everything behind the factory Grills. I had to bend out the metal grill to clear the tweeter. Then I went to Home Depot for some speaker wire and backer rod.

Got everything wired up and again Todd was instrumental in helping this ordeal. *** I have never installed Car Audio before ***

With Todd's help it was extremely simple and didn't take very long at all.

The end result = I couldn't be happier with this setup at all. The sound is amazing. Its clear and extremely loud.

Here's a Video clip of the sound with the Volume at 25 out of 35 on the Head Unit.

Sounds good, get it out of the garage so you can really see what you got.

I've had it out once but was waiting on some Dynamite that showed up today to install on the outer fairing shell and some new gauges to show up before I button everything back up.

haha for sure, Todd definitely has a sweet setup. I have way less desire to go extreme than others though. Most I'll ever do is saddle bag lids but with how good these speakers sound I don't foresee that even happening.
