Default Batwing fairing
I am adding a Dragonfly batwing fairing To my Roadking Custom. It has cut outs for 6x9 speakers. Do you have to use marine electronics? Does anyone have one? I would like two speakers a head unit and an amp.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

no need for marine speakers,not to many paper cone speaker made today.sony makes a head unit that has a fold out tray to hold i pods or phones.since u don't have gauges in the fairing u should have room to use a bigger amp than the harley batwing,only concern is how much amps it will draw from your charging system.u should be able to get a plastic door to cover the head unit for rain.

"paper" speaker cones can be scotch guarded if rain exposure is a concern

Most people use Polk speakers. Amazon has them.

Check out the audio section. Pioneer seem to be the hot 6x9s?
