Cozz,if it not too much trouble could you provide a link to the speckers you bought or pt#?

I ask that because i was considering just trying a higher quality set of speakers for front (& rear of bike for wife) that could later handle an amp upgrade if need be .

That way i could to see if just upgrading the speakers gives enough improvement @ a bit higher volume & still be clean/clear without distortion to avoid the added expense of going with an amp at this time if it's not needed.

For my type use i have no need to blow people away with an excessively loud stereo on my bike that thanks to the wife is quiet again after i re-installed the stock quiet mufflers/pipes because anything over stock is too loud for the wife & she doesnt want to be bothered with earplugs,been there done that!/UMPH!).

No problem

I still have the box. I'll post it tomorrow. I had the same plan as you, upgrading the speakers first before deciding on an amp. As it turns out, I don't think I need the amp. It's plenty loud.

The Box

I bought Arc Audio 6.5 (front) & 5.25 (rear). They are crisp and loud as hell. Along with an aftermarket HU and amp.

When buying Arc Audio stuff off e-bay there is no warranty at all through Arc Audio.
