So for those that are interested, I got the Kenwood amp at my door today. Not wanting to wait until it was all installed properly,I hooked the amp up temporarily. I also just wanted to be sure it was worth the effort of mounting and wiring up. Well, I'm pretty pleased with it. It really made those 4" speakers come alive.

I'm telling you , if you got a bike with no fairing and want tunes on it ,these speakers and amp combo will simply kick butt over any of those handlebar stereo kits, HANDS DOWN.
That is why I originally looked into these speakers. I was going to put together some real jams for a friends Valkyrie Tourer. He has one of those chintzy handlebar systems with extravagant wattage claims in the stratosphere. He has had it for awhile and it has some issues anyways.
