[QUOTE="Romans5.8, post: 7923177, member: 645790"] Thanks for the suggestions. Any particular reason why 6x9's? Lots of people are telling me one way or another but I'm looking for reasons why. Again, bass is not reproduced on a motorcycle, too much air moving. An amp is out of the question. It's not about mounting. There's enough room in the fairing for a full sized car amp if I wanted. In fact I even have a small amp in a closet somewhere for a previous car setup. There just isn't enough juice to run an amp. Most motorycles don't use alternators like cars, but rather a very simple oil submerged stator and regulator/rectifier setup. Just a head unit is pushing the envelope. I'm going to switch the bike over to all LEDs but that won't free up enough for an amp. Ill look into cdt. Is their stuff marine grade? The speakers are gonna get wet. Sometimes very very wet. The head unit will be sealed inside of a waterproof enclosure however, although I'm considering marine grade there just for the better UV and humidity tolerance. [/QUOTE]
