Default Best Speaker size for Road King Fairing?

I was going to build my own detachable fairing already bought harley outer and inner, but decided to scrap that idea and just buy a fairing from Reckless. My question is looks aside which size/style speaker give the best performance 4-5 1/4", 2-6.5" or 2-6x9's? The 6.6 and 6x9's seem to have a better selection and the 6.5's can be had in very high quality seperate componants. The 6x9's should produce the most bass. I'm leaning toward the 6x9's at this point but would like input from others first. This is what I bought to try first as a head unit it doesn't have bluetooth but seems to have everything else I want: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Anyone with personal experiance with Reckless please let me know how you like them and thier product. Please keep ALL of the Negative fairing BS to yourselves and off of this post PLEASE.

Also please let me know your experience and recommendations on GPS's, but please NO debating. Thanks

I wish I could help you. My Reckless fairing is being delivered tomorrow. I'll have some idea of quality then.

As a matter of fact, I did receive my fairing from Reckless. I got it back from the painter on Thursday and finished installing it Saturday morning. The quality of the fairing is quite good, outstanding if you factor in the cost. I bought mine without their stereo and installed my own. I installed a Dual XHD7714 (AM/FM/HD/CD/USB) head unit and a pair of Rockford Fosgate P1653 (6.5") speakers. The stereo sounds great. I also wired in some blue LED illuminated rocker switches to control driving lights, etc. I have posted some pictures below. I know this is probably sacrilege here, but the fairing is on my 2007 Kawasaki 1600 Nomad.

I am very pleased with the finished product! Total cost of fairing, paint, sound system, chrome trim, etc., was just under a grand.
