Have a set of Focal KRX 165 in the fairing, and a set of Focal KRC165 on the shelf I'd like to run in the lowers...

Be a combo worth pursuing? Or other / better options out there?
Let em Rip!!! Eventually you're gonna need some 8's, 6x9's or 10's in the bags to balance out the sound sitting still but on the freeway at 80 mph you should be loud and clear!!

Ok I just pulled the trigger on one. Now I have a tm400xad with an hour on it to sell. I hope this amp will make those milles soar. BTW I hate you guys. My bike loves you guys but my wallet hates you guys. lol

I have a set of the Pioneer 6x9 that were the rage a year or so ago on the shelf, along with another set of lids to cut up/paint. Also, have a King TP I want to add the speaker pods to. Thinking run the ARC amp in the bag to power the back end..??
Anyways, where's the best place to grab one of these FOCAL amps? BAL ? I'm in Canada, if there's a trusted source on the north side of things?

I have been looking for a good way to add speakers to my bags I know RF has a kit but the speakers are questionable from what I have heard and the kits is about 500 does anyone have a template or anything that I can use as a goby for guidance to add speakers to my lids

I'm no expert here, but one of the problems you might encounter trying to fit say a 6x9 speaker in a stock lid is its angle. Most aftermarket lids that accommodate a 6x9 speaker angle them towards the rider head, stock lids, unless modified, I don't believe you can get the same effect, which I believe defeats the purpose of installing speakers in the lids in the first place unless parked at the bar.

I talked to them last week and they were testing a jumper. They said maybe 2 weeks it would be available. I don't know if it was corrected in process for new amps.

Thanks roadie. If it is wrong, I have a ton of butt connectors or flat paper clips to repin it. lol

They did say they're fine with splicing in butt connectors. Not going to jack anyone up on warranty or anything like that for modding the input harness. They also said the output harness is fine as is, not supposed to be all positive in one row and negative in other, they alternate.
