while everyone is looking for better sound one thing to keep in mind is that these are Motorcycles with no real acustics just open air if you want bass you need power and the Harley charging system dosent have it ,If you want it to sound as good as some of the car audio systems you would have to put a bubble around your bike multiple amplifiers,capacitors and larger speakers and Sub woofers and something to power it so start looking for a way to add a 100 amp alternator and extra batteries then if the exhaust note dosent cancel out the bass note you might have something

I am considering installing Memphis MClass speakers in the front fairing on my 03 road glide.
The Memphis speakers are 4 ohms. The 03 HD/Radio Sound head unit I believe is 8 ohms.
My question is...
I believe two resistances in series gives a combined resisitance that is their sum.
If I take the negative speaker lead and add a 4 ohm resistor in series will this give me the correct 8 ohms
I would like to use the Memphis speakers and not hurt the head unit?
Negative lead ---> 4ohm resistor ---> negative lead on speaker
Positive lead ---> Positive lead on speaker
If so, does anyone know the correct watts for the resistor?
Will I need a higher volume control setting for the same real volume?
Any advice is appreicated.
