Talked to a guy doing upgrades at Leesburg, my problem with his setup was that the saddlebag speakers had no quick disconnect so removing a bag became a project. I usualy pull the bags to wash the bike so that would be a problem as would changing a rear tire.

FAIL!

Sorry dude, I have done absolutely amazing stuff w/5.25". You ain't getting boom out of anything below 8", although 4 or 8 6" will move some air and hit hard. Not happening on a bike tho.

You're joking, right? Bose made a name for themselves by engineering SMALL audio systems that sound big... Bose Acoustimass and Wave music system are just two examples. Bigger speakers don't always make more or better sound!

also, i personally didnt settle for "Bose" quality sound...lol, i expect more from my ride... and all of the setups ive heard, including my newly aquired Firecap (Arc audio setup) i purchased to check out arc stuff, def. exceeded my expectations from the equipment...

i just like to step my stuff up a little and get that wow factor out of it... i would rather get a set of loudlids... and i dont particularly like that either... just thought it was better than just cutting a bag and throwing a speaker outside of it...

I went with the ARC from firecapt. And it sounds great. If I had to do it again I would go with the ARC.
