Default Your Old Set-Ups you once thought were Awesome!

I was reading some post of guys brainstorming some new set-ups and it got me thinking about old set ups I once had that I thought were awesome. Here's one that was a few years ago that was the hottest thing since slice bread when I would cruise around town!

Radio: Kenwood 998
Fairing: DS18 EXL with Herts ST25
Lowers: Focal KRC (before that Hertz HCX)
Amp: Arc Moto
Lids: Hertz HCX690
Inside Bags: Hertz HCX690 in the front of the bag, DS18 EXL 8 inch in the back with another Hertz ST25
Amp: Started with a Soundstream TN4.900 then added a Fosgate T400X4AD bridged to the 8's.

I used to cruise around with he dumbest grin on my face with this set up!!!!!

Same here, current setup. It's the bomb compared to all the guys I ride with who are running stock, but soon as I leave the bike show like yesterday, I want more. Sony XAV100, Hertz MP coax in front, SV200 SBD lids w ST35. 2 RF TM400X2AD in fairing. Above 75mph I can hear it but it's just noise. I'm sure a DSP would help but I'm the type to just atart over, especially after reading this entire forum twice and talking to several awesome people on here including you Alex. I'll post a detailed thread with what I'm thinking. Can't wait to get some feedback on that!

The funny thing is the system Haze said was so quaint still blows away what most of us are running.

I used to think my Biketronics system was the shiznit. Not even in the same ballpark.

LOL, You guys got me to thinking, just what the hell have I bought/spent since I joined the forum. I discovered I didn't want to know lol.
I also used to think Biketronics was the shiznit, especially after buying a J&M setup that didn't stay on my bike more than a day, So I got to digging around to see what I found since I needed to clean and rearrange stuff anyway, and I'm STILL digging out stuff. The audio also led em to changing bags, fenders, side covers, wheels, etc etc, so there is no telling what the final tally would be.
This is most of it, but still working on it.
