Audio enhancement perma-grin style

[53driver]

I'll verify - the installer I spoke with stated the mid bass driver was neodymium. I'm surprised to read that..

http://www.ebay.com/itm/252533837361 $289 I bought my set from custom sounds for 199, however, they don't have it listed on their website. I'm wondering if it was a one-off or the like.

I do see the same model as a coaxial hcx 130 sells for 239 on Amazon or other outlets for less. I am trying to verify if you can wire the tweeter separately, although even if not, this is likely tbd best speaker for the money if you don't go audison or dsp active two way.

Stay tuned, I am talking with head of sales to find options for lowering the price, such as purchasing drivers only, quantity purchase, etc.

Okay Rob, I'm all in.
Buy once, cry once. I have serious audio gear for my sound company, why should my bike be any less capable?

Give me the list of ingredients for this recipe and where I can get them from.
(I don't think I need the 8.9, as the 4.9 should suffice. 70W->130W isn't even a 3dB increase...)
I'll get them on order and we'll have a project to complete!
Cheers,
Steve

Oh, the insanity of it all.....

This upgrade is what gave my sanity back..

I want to do this sound upgrade myself; for a winter project while the snow is on the ground and my bike is hibernating out back in the shed. Got a shed heater, beer, tunes and lights to work in... all ready to go... but I echo F6B Pilot's exclamation "Oh, the insanity of it all" ??? Why can't we leave good enough alone?

Maybe my ears really are that bad, but I don't think that stock is as bad as everyone seems to say. Now granted I have the Auto-volume on, and play music almost exclusively from my iPod. But at 75mph I can hear my tunes at volume setting 11 with no problem.

These Hertz DSK130.3 speakers ...are not weatherproof? Is the diaphragm resistant to moisture?

I need to contact Hertz again and get the official word. The pro audio company i worked with said they install these in boats all the time. They said just do not recommend blasting then with a high pressure washer, they work perfectly as is. Further, he said the marine grade speakers are rated for SALT WATER. The cones are not paper, a poly blend. The xovers are not waterproof, but I'm not using the. In the install. If you go passive and only run left and right power, you can mount the xovers in the front below the windshield and they are adaquately projected. I've also seen and read these mounted on motorcycles, so that was good enough for me.

In two weeks i have a meeting pending to talk to the us sales for both Hertz and Audison. Stay tuned for more info.

I'm right with you. 11-12 while cruising and back it off to talk at stops. The bikes around me here it fine also.

A lot has to do with the windshield also. I hear it better running a 13" Cee Bailey than with a 14" Klock.

I live in St Louis and would like to know the final price?
