Went a different route with my Vaquero's audio system

For now I'm keeping my VV stock speakers witht he rear speaker . . . but this is an iteresting combination - if only it didn't cost $300 . . .

But you have to pay for quality . . .

NICE JOB!!!!

THANX...it's just information that I wanted to share for anyone that has had an idea to improve the OEM sound system, for whatever reason they feel the need to. The amps I chose may cost a bit more to purchase than the Rockford/Fosgate amp, but the installation is so simple and DOES NOT require the removal of the fairing and there is NO NEED for cutting/splicing of wires.

btw...i HATE liver!

I was looking at that as well, seems like those speakers are not available up here though through Crutchfield, I find that the clarity is a lot more important than volume and the lower I can have the volume but still get the clarity, the better. I like having the amp as part of the speaker so to speak, and I would guess that when you factor in the cost of a good amp with the speakers you are running about the same, and with this set up, you don't have to look for somewhere to mount the amp either.

How many times have you been sitting with friends and started a conversation that stayed on topic.
Also, I HATE loud pipes and take every opportunity to voice my opinion to those who run them.
Any other observations

I'm just the guy at the table who tries to get folks back on track when they are off topic - providing of course I'm not the one who got them off topic . . . Ray - you have to try the Liver and Onions with mangos and aspargus - that will change everything!

I'll eat liverwurst, but liver is out of the question. I still have memories of mom cooking it and the disgusting smell. Never I tell you!

I ate liver once. It was in infantry training at Camp Pendleton. I smothered it with mustard just so I could get it down. Never again.

Liver with onions and bacon, I love it. Used to cook up the deer liver, heart, and kidneys, key to cooking them is to let them soak in fresh salt water overnight, leeches all the crap out of them.

Glad to hear this. Just ordered my stuff from Kawi dealer too.

Liver is only good if cooked in a well seasoned cast iron skillet with Crisco oil and a huge,huge amount of onions. I have lost my taste for organ meat as I have grown older.
And there is nothing sweeter sounding than a Top Sportsman Beretta with a 637 cubic inch Madcap Motor going down the quarter mile in less than 7.70 seconds ,naturally aspirated.

Hi Ray,

Those are the speakers I have in my Vaquero and I love them. I have been a fan of Infinity for many, many years. I am still running the Pyle amp and something has happened to one of the wires and I have lost the clarity at high output so I have to take the fairing off again to fix it. This is a bit frustrating and makes me understand your wish to make it simple. If I had your new amps I could fix it in a few minutes.

Just one question Ray, I noticed on their website it doesn't mention whether or not these are water resistant, thinking mostly about when washing the bike or in the rain. I think these are the same speakers. http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/produ.../10108141.aspx if they are, does that small box stay on, or is it replaces with the power pucks?

Same here. In reading what you did, I'm impressed. I might need to do that someday.

Liver, onions and bacon, and steak and kidney pie, two of my favorite meals.
I used to watch my nan (grandma) preparing tripe (cows stomach) for my grandad.
No thank you !!!
