Damn. Sweet. I just spent several hours doing my Hawg Wired system. Sounds awesome. Gotta make sure you don't park next to me. Congrats. Looks like an awesome setup.

Somehow fitting considering the ride and the upgrades.

Nice sense of humor.

Sorry. Not a Macbeth fan. Now, Metallica, I would have got!

I am signing on to this thread just to see how you cram all of that equipment into the bike and just how good it looks and sounds.

I would need to gather up receipts to give you a hard number.
But off the top of my head...........

Pioneer AV unit $535
Alpine PDX-F6 amp 2@ $420=$840
Polk MM6501 $189 x 2 = $378
Polk MM691 $149 x 2 = $298
Misc install items including all cables, wires, ect probably around $350

So somewhere around $2500
But I sold the HK radio for $450 so final cost is somewhere closer to $2k

And I was all excited with my $279, 70w Hogtunes amp and two fairing speakers I put in a few weeks ago.

I feel so inadequate now

I really like Polk Audio speakers. I installed some in my last truck that sounded great.

Looks like a well thought out system. Waiting on the final results..

Peace!

I'm a genius!
I could not figure out what to replace the crap OEM speaker grills in the fairing with. And I also could not find a good location to mount the tweeter without loosing a couple of gages.

Then it hit me! I cut out the center grill out of the Polk's, cut slots in the Acr Audio adapter rings.
Then I used a potato peeler and reamed out the center of the Polk grill to fit the tweeter cup.
The upper fairing speakers will now match the lowers perfectly!

The Dremel tool is dead and on the charger and need to run buy some epoxy to glue my creation together. I'll get a picture up when I get them installed.
For now, i am just taking my time. I will not finish up till tomorrow sometime.
