Thanks for posting these! I really appreciate it. Does look amazing in bright sun. My Sony would be unreadable in that much light. Will pull the trigger on this. Waiting for the version that SoundStream is coming out with that will pass through the bike info like air temp and oil pressure. Hoping it’s soon. Will also buy the kit from VA. They have an easy package assembled for simple install. Getting the package with the amp and Infinity speakers. Thanks again to all who helped here. Great input and appreciate it as always.

Great choice! Infinity Kappas won’t disappoint. When I first started my build, over 5 years ago, I used kappa 5x7’s, in my lids. They were very loud! I did a YouTube video with them, that was pretty popular. It has 30k views:

Sorry man, sounds like quite a bit of distortion to me. Maybe its the song choice. But it is loud though.

That song does use distortion with the guitar. This video, was made later, while running, with Polk 6x9’s:

If you have a road glide then the sunlight washout is a bit more dramatic but it is still light years ahead of the Sony and equal or better than the factory. It’s about the angle of the dangle. Nothing you can really do. My buddy with a 19 RGS and the factory GTS has the same complaint I do.

Yup much better song to showcase the clarity.

Also noticed in the first video, you turned the volume up to like 2 from the top....you can check with a DD-1 to pinpoint the exact volume, but those stock radios usually start introducing distortion around 3 or 4 from top.

When setting gains, you set with your test tone and at that new max volume....3 or 4 from top. Then just dont push it above that to be safe.

I had Biketronics BT355’s installed, and the amp never clipped. The sound was solid, but I wanted more thump, thus, the 6x9’s instead. Besides, that particular video, was over 5 years ago. The front speakers and amp, remain the same
