hey guys a quick question..Im not sure if anyone is running the Hertz hcx165's in the lower fairing position but i ordered the 6.5 Harley speaker grills and they don't fit the Hertz..Just a hair too small..I tried to finagle them on but both of them broke.. Can you run any 6.5 speaker grill? , because Hertz does not make a grill for the Hcx series..

Thanks again

Marc

Well it seems after reading alot..the rear speakers really do not have that much effect on what you hear in the front... Makes sense..and plus i wanted the versatility of the Street Glide still being able to take the tour pack on and off very easily..so that's why i went with a 2 channel amp..I think this should definitely do what i want..Hear clearly at highway speeds, and do it right the first time.. So just wanted to update everyone and with the holiday i would assume the parts will arrive in a couple of weeks. ..i wil post up once i get everything and start the install...

The thing rocks!...Now i have only powered everything up for about 20 minutes to take a listen and haven't gone for a ride yet because of the snow in the Northeast but garage listening, i have the thing set at half way and its blasting!.. I love it...Cant wait to get a real ride in to see how she is at highway speeds..Im sure just from what i heard ,it wont be a problem...What speakers are you running??

And also i went with the 2 channel because im only running upper and lower speakers... I wasn't interested in added to the rear tour pack, lids or anything else..Its like a wall of sound blasting in your face..Happy Camper over here!

I've got the Titans 6.5's coming with the amp and sony head unit. I also have a pair of Polks sitting in the garage so not sure which speakers I will go with yet.
