Hi,I haven't bought any new Electronics in Yrs so I'm, Looking for a new head unit for my 14 SGS and after reading all the info on in Think I have decided to go with a Sony. I was wondering if someone could give me a quick rundown on what the differences between the Ax 5000 and the Ax7000? Or if there is a better option open to Ideas? I'm only going to run the front Amp and 2 Speakers, I Got A RF TM400X2ad Amp for X Mas Present from the fam. I have a set of Older Infinity Kappa's That I would like to replace so Suggestions there would also be great, Not going to be competing just want some loud and clean **** !! lol

 

AX7000 has better glare resistance, 5V pre amp outputs, water resistant buttons, and an internal amp that puts out 45W RMS but is pretty much useless on a bike. It also cost 150-200 dollars more. Get some MMATS PA601.4CX's that are marine treated and give them about 150W crossed somewhere in the 100-120Hz range.

 

Thanks for your help, When you say Useless on the bike do you mean the Amp part or the whole unit? Sorry Broke my back and take a lot of meds so I have trouble with Understanding ****!

 

The Sony head unit internal amp.

 

and you feel safe out on the road?

i just installed the Sony 7000 and everything else is stock. The internal amp provides plenty of power to hear above 70mph. Stock speakers suck, but it definitely increases the volume.

 

Accident free for over 25 Yrs. Don't take certain meds when I ride. Its about the only thing I can do to keep my Man Card.lol Big difference between riding a bike and not understanding what a bunch of symbols and numbers mean. But I appreciate your concern..lol
