Thanks, please realize that I have don't have a dog in this hunt (i.e., I don't make or sell any speakers or rings ). I'd love it if someone would make a system that was affordable, reliable and killer sounding. I don't think that system has been invented yet -- everything is a compromise.

People are all excited about these speakers and they may be just great, but no one's offered any hard numbers in terms of audio performance ratings that I've read. Just a lot of "I love my new speakers!", which is typical for anyone going away from stock.



I really have a hard time swallowing this one. You must be able to sense a weight imbalance when a bug gets smashed on your fairing. When I installed the 6.5" Polk MM651 speakers, I couldn't believe how lightweight they were (or seemed). The have a carbon basket and Neodymium magnet. The setup was actually 1.1 lbs heavier than the stock speakers and rings per side. Throw in some Dynexorb and you're over 2 lbs. On a 900 lb bike, I doubt Heller Keller could feel 2 lbs difference in the bars.
 
big??? John is there a money back guarantee? i was to late to be a tester

what is the sensitivity of the new speakers?

have you checked the SPL sound pressure level or db output at a given power.

if they dont sound as good to me can i return them? i`ts alot of coin.
i`m running a arc mini with 6.5 components.

i`m getting ready to try infinity because best buy will let me return them
 
I don't have a dog in this fight either. I offered to test these speakers and give my opinion. That's all I did. I'm not comparing to anything other than the other set ups I had on my other bike. I'm not saying the Arc components suck because I've never heard them and I don't know how anyone can say these do If they havn't even heard them yet.

The only reason I would want an amp on a bike would be for volume and clarity and these do both for me. The speakers might be expensive but still cheaper if I don't need an amp.

In closing if I had found these six sets of speakers ago I wouldn't have had to volunteer to test these as I would have already had what I wanted and saved myself some serious coin.

Are you not happy with the mini and 6.5's? I have the mini and 5.25's and talking to Firecap about going up to the 6.5's. Is there something that is not good enough or loud enough with the 6.5's?
 
If you think $279 plus shipping is alot of coin for speakers.....just use www.drvtwin.com

Shawn is shipping these for $235 total. Plus you get a free t-shirt.

Awaiting mine this week hopefully.
