speaker up grade and sub

[smokinjoe187]

So it winter in cali
we have about two weeks of no riding season
so i have been planing a sound upgrade
i changed the front speakers to polk audio db 651 s from amazon
and to kick this shit up a notch
i installed a kenwood sub
model ksc-sw11 from amazon
i used the wiring from the kit
i adjusted it ,all i can say is money money...
took a day but i had it apart any way as i added a dual usb in the right side shelter
you do have to trim the top and side of these speaker for the cover to lock back in
but let me say its way worth the 200 dollars i spent
flame on!!
btw i love my heli bars and ultimate seat plus my bluetooth aux in,i can just ride for miles and miles

Cool way to add a sub with it's own amp.
I'll bet it compliments your new speakers nicely

Thanks Joe, for posting the pics and diagram.

My pleasure
btw the amp is on a molex plug so it can be removed with 2 screws...
simple clean,and yes its a very clean sound
and with avc it stays constant

there was 1 other small issue though
i had to vent the bags at the top
the bags are sealed so well sound barely comes out a sub needs air but i solved this using uni air box vents

Very good info, Thanks!

Just to confirm, did you use the stock OEM Honda F6B amp for the front speakers? Do you feel it has enough power?

according to this artice (OLD!) the amp on a goldwing only puts out 9-11 watts per channel at 4ohms a .5% thd.

New amp & new speakers = easy improvement if that is still the case..

I just ordered it yesterday. I was trying to decide which way I wanted to go with the sub. Ultimately figured I wanted to try the JL micro sub. I already have the amplifier mounted and powering the new Polk MM component speakers on the front channels and will bridge the rear channels for the sub. As soon as I get it and am satisfied, I will post pics.

Perfect, for the times storage space out does great tunes..or when my wife's stuff over flows into my side..
Thanks again,Joe.
