Best stereo upgrade options

[Dirtstiff's F6B]

I already did the speaker swap the second week I had the bike...I want an amp, sub, and better speakers up front.

Ok, open your wallet and here you go. JM not so much.. Polk MM to start. Jimmie T can introduce you to a subwoofer and amp.

I can't remember the last time I used the fairing speakers, I use the Sat radio in my Garmin for music and have in helmet speakers, and I don't use that a lot. I spend my time enjoying the ride and the bike, don't need much in the way of music.

I think the J&M speakers I ordered are now back ordered until Jan.

All will fit except the UM 651
All require trimming.
The MM are the premium speaker.
They come both as individual components or with the tweeter mounted with the woofer. Both have separate crossovers to mount.
The DB are good. DXI great, MM exceptional
MM are hardest to install.

According to Polk, all are Marine rated. The UM are made specifically for boats and wet enviornments. They have the grill and basket as one piece.
I'm replacing my DXI 651 Polks with a pair of MM 651, today.

I have a Polk PA D2000.2 amp. It's certified at 100 watts per channel RMS and 200 bridged. Very good amp.
The MM 651 also are rated for 100 watts per channel. RMS. They are a perfectly matched combo. The amp still has power for additional speakers or a sub woofer.

The MM 6501 which I don't have, are component speakers and have appx 50 watt higher RMS and Peak power rating along with adjustable crossovers.
I didn't want to find places to mount the tweeter, therefore I chose the MM 651.

Good luck in your choice.
Back to my project or as the wife says, obsession....

to be fair, I have priorities switch so I have not been able to mount these yet. I have templates to cut them and will start on it this week. the tweeters I fit where the stock tweeters go, but you have to destory the housing they are in and trim the stock cover to fit. they fit nicely and sound great though.

This is an older pic, but I mounted the tweeters right over where the OEM tweeters were. Some put them in the OEM locations for the flush look. (Since the pic was taken , I changed out the 5.25" woofers for the 6.5" and added the Clarion head unit.)
