After so many nights of searching for and reading reviews about speakers(Polk's, JBLs, MB Quarts, Focals, ect.).........I FINALLY COMMITTED!

I had been glued to the Pioneer 6902R thread and said to myself......self.....if these 6x9's perform so well, why wouldn't the 6.5's/6.75's? So I began my bargain shopping and found a set for 59.99 shipped. When they arrived I had to do my initial visual assessment. These things are pretty beefy and well put together. I was pretty surprised at the cone construction as well. If you've never bothered looking at them here are the specs for the Pioneer TS-D1602R 2-way speakers:

• 6-1/2-inch two-way speakers with 260 watts maximum power handling (60 watts nominal)
• Woofers feature dual-layer IMX aramid/basalt fiber composite cone with butyl rubber surround
• 1-1/8-inch soft-dome tweeters with magnetic fluid and neodymium magnet
• Built-in crossover with -6dB/octave low-pass and -12dB/octave high-pass filters
• 35 Hz to 32 kHz frequency response with 88 dB sensitivity
• Butyl rubber surround
• 1-1/8-Inch Soft dome with magnetic fluid and neodymium magnet
• Rear chamber tweeter structure
• Full depth basket design for fuller bass response
• Dispersion control wave guides

The next day I dove in head first. They fit very well in the fairing even with three 12x12 sheets of polyfill on each speaker. I'm running the SS PN 520.4D with the gains set at the half way point and these things scream like a ****!! I'm very happy with the choice I made. And if I blow them, I'm not out of a hundred + dollars like I would be if I went the route I was planning before. I got 2 Pioneer 6902R's on the way for my saddle bags and I'm sure I'll have more than adequate sound for my scoot.

My advice to any newbie installing audio on your bike...............FOLLOW ULTRA'S STICKY STEP BY MUTHAF!@KIN STEP!!!! It will save you so much grief. Lol

 

Pt. two.....

I got the Pioneer TS-D6902's I and went to work. I pretty much mirrored GlacierPearls set up minus 2 6x9's. I wanted to retain some bag space so one set was all I wanted to commit to.

Once I got all the tools required it was pretty damn easy. That 90 degree drill bit attatchment was a GOD SEND. After getting everything wired up and tuned to my listening preference I can't fing any complaints. This audio combination is ****!!
