Default FireCap501 is the Stereo Hookup!!

Just thought I would make a post as to the equipment and support that I got from FireCap501. I contacted him about wanting to upgrade my stereo and he was able to set me up with a ARC mini amp and 4 new 5 1/4" speakers for my ultra. I installed them last weekend and man ol man what difference. At 70 mph with SE mufflers and with the stereo at half volume, I can't hear the pipes. Half volume is all that is needed with this set up. I have the stock harley head unit. The sound is more clear and crisp. I am old school and dont listen to the new bump bump music, mainly the old AC/DC, Molly Hatchet and so on. FireCap501 was fantastic with any questions you might have and trust me I had alot. I talked to him on the phone before and during the install and he was more than happy to help me.

All I can say is that if you want to be able to hear it running down the road at 70mph, FireCap501 can hook you up with this system. Im not going to bag on any other systems or setups but I can tell you that what FireCap501 sells if top quality and it just plain kicks azz. So give him a chance, sure dont hurt to ask.

Thanks for news. I already pm'd him a few days ago and he was more than happy to have me call him when i get ready. I am just waiting for my 450 motoscooter to sell. Its going to be a new arc system, and chubbys, chrome everything on the bars. But FireCap is going to hear from me as soon as I have the cash.

The speakers that I got from FireCap501 had them mounted in the speakers. Direct replacement on my Ultra. One thing is for sure, He has got to have the best customer service that I have ever had. He is very pleasent and take time to explain every step of the install, even to a dummie like me. I dont think you can go wrong with dealing with FireCap501!!!!!!!

I plan on doing a stereo upgrade this winter and FireCap501 is on my list of people to contact to get the job done.

How much is an amp and four speakers? Does the amp just plug in-line and where and how did you mount the amp?
