I did not go with anyone's "kit" drivers, I got some really good component speakers, they a re awesome, sound much better than the hawg wired's do, you can only move so much air with a 5.25 speaker, no matter how good it is.

mikes300, I don't believe it , I had a McIntosh car amp in my saddle bag and JB Quartz speakers and the system rocked, you can't buy a better amp then McIntosh period, I wanted my saddlebag back so I went with the Hawg-Wired Double Shot system, this is their better 2 channel system, I fully exspected the system to be good but not as good as what I was replacing but I was o k with that because I would have my bag back, installed the system and it blew me away, loud - clear- no distortion even at 100% volume, to talk negative of Hawg Wired shows you are misinformed

HW is top quality gear. I've run them in two bikes now and would do it all over again in a minute. BTW, Frank is great to deal with!!!!!
