[QUOTE="Romans5.8, post: 7923190, member: 645790"] Okay but why? I appreciate the help I really do and I don't mean to be a 'choosy beggar', but I'm looking for the why. Here we have two differing opinions, both from people I don't know! LOL. Either way, 6.5 isn't an option. Options are 4 5.25" speakers or 2 6x9, there isn't room for 6.5 speakers. Again the issue is NOT bass, it's quality and clarity at higher volumes with tremendous wind noise (and while wearing a helmet!) I've ridden bikes with tremendous bass systems before and boy do they rock. At a stop. Recently rode an HD Electra glide with 4 5.25" speakers (2 front 2 rear), 2 8" subs mounted in the lowers, and the tour box was converted into a sub box running a single 12" sub. Once you got on the highway is was muddy muffled lows. Sounded better with the subs off and bass turned down. I don't know much about audio but I so know from experience and from what other motorcyclist say, there is just too much air moving to reproduce bass. (Those bikes have big dual stator charging systems by the way, so they can handle that. My bike, unfortunately, does not. So I'm stuck with head unit only power. I'm not expecting a rocking system on my motorycle. But, I do want the best volume and quality for my limited options). By the way a while back I emailed the manufacturer of the fairings and they claimed both setups sounded about the same. If that's the case ill do the 6x9 purely for the better looks, and the fact that this would leave two channels open for rear speaker pods in the future. [/QUOTE]
