Default Radio/Amp Install ??

Im looking into running my stock harman karden deck with a rockford fosgate pbr 300x4 amp, Im not sure yet on what to go with for speakers? Is anyone using this set-up? and if so what are you running for speakers? I thought of maybe running the j&m rokkers but they cost an arm and a leg there has got to be something out there doing the same job as the rokkers but dont cost as much!! I decided to go with the RF 4 channel amp so that I have the extra 2 channels for future if I want to do lower fairing speakers or something but for now Im just going to run the 2 in the batwing and maybe add a tweeter pod/tweeters



Chime in please with your set-ups and pictures to would be great of installs and how you like it?

Default Fosgate

Do a search on speakers, lots of threads on them, also get the amp for 159 on ebay.

First things first you can't run J&M they are a 2ohm speaker your amp will only operate safely in 4ohm. Check the RF speakers,the kind Yaffe sells with his kits. They sound damn good and are 4ohm. I tried Biketronics Titans and they are terrible. Swapped them with the Rockfords and its like night and day. For lowers why not go with the CVO boxes and run another set of RF's.
