I'm thinking one of the sound stream amps. I have a stock system I'm upgrading. Ordered Biketronics 477 on Black Friday for the fairing. Looking at the Kenwood Excelon HU. I am on a budget and I think I do need 5x7 for the factory lids?

Thanks

Biketronics has 6x9's that'll fit your lids if you have the factory CVO lids.

2010 Limited with some stuff

The OEM lids use 5x7's. Only kit I know of to fit a 6x9 is BT.

What's your budget for speakers? The JL audio ones are great, on a budget the Alpine type R are good too.

Biketronic"s HAT 6x9 kit is a great sounding speaker plus it is water proof (won't let water into the bags). Bill at BT. ran a garden hose om them! Plus life time warranty that they actually back up!

Yeah me! Lol! Best 5x7 speakers out there are the JL C5-570X or the Hat 5x7's. Either one will make you a happy camper. The JL's have more bass.
