Ranman,
Are you running all 4 speakers off the KS 125.2?

Yes he is the 125.2 works great with a 2ohm load, wire the 4 speakers for a 2 ohm load and it runs 125 watts per ch. with no problem, I have lots of systems out there being ran like this.

Thumbs up

Just finished the install on mine this weekend and I think it sounds better today. Went out and got around to adjusting the H/K Stereo bass and treble trying to find that sweet spot and man this this is like a concert. Can't wait to ride and listen to the tunes.

Well in that case Cap I think I'm going to take you up on the second set of FD speakers we were talking about a couple of weeks ago on the phone.
I'll call you this weekend.
Hey did you get the head unit and the funds yet?

Just got done with the install of the silver package. What a difference over stock! It will be quite some time before I can get it on the road for a real test to see how it is with wind and motor noise. Install was fairly simple, hardest part was running the power back to the battery. I screwed up my ant. wire/lead so I needed to run a new one, which runs in the trough under the tank. I ran the power lead and the ant. lead at the same time. The other parts of the install were really on the easy side. I am pretty excited about the sound that is coming out of my bike and can't wait to get her on the road.
