I have the 4 channel version and once I turned it, it's been pretty awesome.

If that fairing is typical of most 4x5.25 fairings you should be able to fit 2 6x9's in there easily. In which case I would recommend 2 MMats 690.4CX's, unless you don't like the look of 6x9's there. Otherwise most any 6.5 and bullet horn should fit with room to spare. The smaller Dyna sized fairings can be a little tight with some 6.5s but even then most will fit. For an amp on a budget look at the Cerwin Vega B52. It's plenty of power for 2 6.5's or 6x9's, small and affordable.

Never been a big fan of the 6x9 look. But it would be easier to cut holes to fit 6x9s than fiberglassing over the 5.25 holes and then cut holes for the 6.5s

123Ozzie sorry I didn't dig into the problem with the gains set too low very much. I figured I was having to turn the volume up on the head unit so high that the output was starting to distort. The amps would actually go into protection mode because they sensed distortion in the speakers I guess. When I turned the gains back up a tad the problem went away and never came back.

Thanks. I have a Stinger 700 on my bike and when I tear it down this winter, I'm going to play around with bridging it and turning the gains down. I'm curious what the results will be.

I work with a guy that has a 6x9 fairing on his 03 Heritage Softail. He gets a lot of good sound out of those big speakers with very few watts.

I had toyed with the idea of a custom inner fairing with 6x9 holes in it but I'm too stupid an lazy to dig real deep into it.

Back to the amp question, it doesn't get a lot of love but a Diamond 2v2 is solid and would pair well with the MMats!

Thanks for all the input. Still not sure what direction to go Leaning towards modifying the fairing for two 6.5's and the Stinger 350 amp I can always take them out of the fairing and put them in a Ultra or Street Glide
