Hey guys, I tried to read through all this thread but not sure if these were covered.

I'm looking at the Rockford Fosgate setup from baggernation. Not sure the part # but it's the setup for the ultra classic fairing and passenger speakers with a amp for $629. Any experience with these?

Can anyone shed any light on how the Boom Audio speakers compare to Polk and others mentioned? Im running Boom Audio fairing speakers and thinking about adding an RF 300x2. Just wondering if the Boom will hold up or if I should stasrt thinking about swapping them out as well.

Not sure about the stock CVO grills but they Polk grills will fit perfectly with a tiny bit of trimming. They look great.

How does Hawg Wired gear compare to what's been discussed in this thread, is it even in the same league?

I have Hawg Wired's latest & greatest 'six-pack' (two 6.5" speakers & a 200 Watt amp) on my Street Glide. While it's better than stock, I'm always wondering if there's something better. Is there?

Thanks

I'm not sure we can make the blanket statement that the polks don't like the cold. I run 45°F and colder here in WI all the time with mine.

JMjohn I asked you this on your thread you already have going but you seemed to skip over my question, but anyways how are you " adjusting" your amps from a 2 ohm load to a 4ohm load ? You reallly should enlighten your customers a little more since your amp puts out xxx watts at 2 ohm and xx watts at 4 ohm you really are just comparing apples to oranges, further more I can crank the gain up on any given amp and have more output but that doesnt mean its not distorting and sounding like crap either, and im not saying yours sounds like crap as I have never personally heard your stuff, but you also really cant compare your amp and speakers the way you are on your video and claim your stuff has a higher output.
