Without an amp I don't know. Go to the audio section and ask Ultranutz. He has the knowledge to really help.

if you're going with a sony head unit, do yourself a favor and buy the 6.5" speaker adapter rings so you can put in something bigger than the 5.25" the adapter rings are maybe $40, and you will have much better options in terms of quality and range. you dont neccesarily need an amp using the sony HU, though if you want great sound, you will eventually need one

Go with Biketronics Titan 6.5" or 7.1". A little spendy but guaranteed for life, no questions asked. Awesome speakers for the money and you'll never need to do it again!

Thanks Brad
almost all motorcycle audio shops sell them, biketronics, j&m, amazon, ebay. just do a quick search for harley 6.5" adapater rings.



i'm awaiting delivery on the biketronic 6.5" titan II speakers with a 300watt amp (150watt rms)

biketronics is expensive, but their stuff has a lifetime warranty, and you'll have a really hard time finding a negative review of their stuff. everyone who buys from them, loves the product.
