Got to luv the Knowledge here. I am leaning on Keeping the 2 ohm J&M's and adding the J&M 4 channel, any suggestions on a good set of 5x7 at 2 ohm that will fit in the Harley Speaker lids for the rear?

I'm running a set of titan hertz 6.5 inch speaker in my fairing and they are 3 ohms... bad or ok ????? The Polk Audio db691 are 4 ohms.

I'm running the Hogtunes 40.4 amp. It has 4 channels at 40 watts per. I got pulled over by a cop a couple weeks ago for having my stereo up too loud. I figure it's putting out plenty of power.

How do the 3 ohm speakers sound?
Do you get any weird activity out of the speakers?
It may be OK to run the 3 ohm speakers, I am just passing along what the guy at Rockford told me.

I just got a 2010 RG with a stock Satellite radio and amp and speakers I think. With the 16" windshield I can pretty much hear it at highway speeds, although I'm sure it would be way better with a better amp and speakers.
Curious though, if I do go for an upgrade to one of the suggested amps/speakers, will I be able to hear the radio if I put the 5" windshield back on?

As for the 5x7 lids.. Forget those.. Either run a set of lower fairings and put some 6.5" or 7" speakers in them or look at the 6x9 lids from Yaffee and Kuryakin... You can get Infiniti Kappa 693.9i's in 2Ohm...

+1 on the Jl audio, I have the xd400 and it fits inside the fairing. It pushes 2 audison 6.5 and 2 jlaudio 6x9's with no issues at all!

FYI The new Arc four channel is the XDI 804.. It is three inches shorter, .4 inches taller and .7 inches deeper than the KS125.4... I think the .4" taller could be a deal breaker for the batwing install. It'll certainly work with a roadglide.. I might have to try mocking one up to see if it'll squeeze.. if it wasn't so much work to route cables and such for the KS125.4 I'd have already gone down to the Arc dealer and done it.
