Hi Chris I just added soft foam to the back of my 2009 goldwing rear stock speakers and it improved the sound by a bit! I will eventually add the foam behind my front stock speakers. Luv your channel by the way. Enjoy. Larry B

Just put these on my F6B last month. More crisp and clearer sound for sure. Great Vid

Just a quick comment about the weight of the speakers. The Honda OEM speakers have neodymium magnets which are much lighter for the same magnetic power as equivalent powered ceramic magnets (in the Show Chrome model). One of the main reasons modern speakers systems are lighter these days overall.

I noticed that these are two way speakers, mid-range and tweeter. You will probably need an equalizer at the least to tailor the sound to take advantage of the new speakers. You already have one set of tweeters OEM so you may end up disconnecting those. An amp might also help. Bigger magnets sometimes need more power to get the same deflection. I'll bet the base will be killer with more power. BTW, I finally got out this weekend. Had to shovel snowbanks to get the bike out but it was worth it.

Great install Chris

Very well done video Chris. Did you notice much difference though? The decimeter read lower on the new speakers. Would u recommend these speakers? Im shoppin.

Chris, Can i ask where you got the plastic cover for the center display? Love all you videos.

Did you ever replace the rear speakers? Can you tell a difference when doing around 65mph on sound.

Chris-To take advantage of the quality through higher output/wattage speakers, wouldn’t you also need to increase your amplifier to drive the higher watts per channel required to get full benefit?

I have a question. Where did you get them red lights from on your 2016 honda. They red and in the front speaker grill

Wow Chris, even your razor knife matches the bike. LOL

HI Chris, Love your videos, I am a new owner of a 2005. Were these speakers worth replacing as you look back?

Does anyone know we're to find rear speaker cover for 2006 1800 goldwing our right rear speaker blew off down the highway

Would like to know how to remove my rear speakers for my 2009 1800 Goldwing I need to have video for instructions can you do that..????.. you did the front speaker install but need video on rear speaker removal.

Just installed these on my 2015 F6b. They do sound better.. it is slightly louder. I also reconnected the stock tweeter I’m debating on disconnecting them because I think I hear some distortion coming from them. Did anybody else leave the stock tweeter out?

They both sound good but it’s hard to really compare with out the cover on the OEM. Because your new speakers have the tweeters playing in the center. The OEM did not. So the new ones will automatically sound better. I did the same thing with my upgrade but I had to reorder speakers without the teeeter in the center. Because it made the treble too dominate at any setting

The OEM sounds better, but maybe it's just me, the test wasn't a true test, but time will tell if I like these better.

Chris just looked them up says waterproof great. Also says 3ohm so if you crank it and the radio cuts off radio may over heat that’s why it’s a bit louder, depending how far of a tolerance , that may be why. Add a 60- 80HZ High pass passive filter to protect it and put some polyfill material behind the speaker. I noticed the RMS is 40 watts. Check in your owners manual for the specs on your radio. I want to say the stock radio may not push those. enough. OH well you know what that means????Amplifier upgrade...

The OEM Speakers are 3.8ohm, the one's Chris just installed are 3ohm. That is not enough drop in ohms to cause over heating problems, as a matter of fact a lot of aftermarket manufacturers are doing this to draw a little bit more from the factory system safely. And those Speakers have built in Cross-overs. But I do agree the Poly Fill will help.

The Cross over on the speaker is for the tweeter not the Mid bass. That' why I suggested minimum 60Hz HP, at 12db per octave there are still lower frequencies but they roll off safely at that slope reducing bass distortion that, this speaker cannot produce. . The Amplifier is not a true stable power supply it uses inexpensive capacitors un like after market amplifiers that are stable. I have never tested a stock factory amplifier that was even close to its specs, I can say the same for most over inflated after market amplifiers, that's why you have to choose wisely. Most Amplifiers Max spec 1KHZ. You are not getting anything near close that you think you are. That's why I posted a link above.

What year is your bike? I have a ‘04, will these fit my bike ?

Well hello Chris I watched this review of the speaker from Show Chrome that you installed but you forgot something Buddy you did not tell us how they sounded because you are there with the speakers and we cannot hear them even though you have the monitor running for how well they are you needed to tell us how they found it from your own listening position if they had more bass that are told or what have you and lastly you did not say anything about having a rear speakers from Show Chrome and if they have the speakers for the rear as they have for the front

Hey Chris just when I think you can’t put nothing else on the Goldwing you always seems to pull a rabbit out of your hat. Let me ask you .what do you do with the omp that you replace? Do you keep them or give them away?

Thanks Christopher, it's in my plan book to upgrad the rear.

Well my friend I ordered these speakers front and rear and there was absolutely no difference in the sound as a matter of fact the rear speaker set magnet is smaller than the original speakers that I replaced with the 3-way speakers that also can be ordered to match the speaker's you are showing in this video because you never said anything about the matching rear speakers so I'm just wondering should I put my original rear speakers back in.. so I hope you see this message my friend and respond to this question..????...

If supply wattage is same there is no noticeable difference, sound quality maybe

Those are ok but the Polk db501 with a 50 way amplifier sound amazing.

So was it a noticeable difference in sound or did you have to refer to the decibel to tell you?

Nice speakers

Howmuch ?

Different speakers have different sensitivity, so its kinda pointless to do a loudness test at a certain volume. Your best bet is to turn it all the way to max for a moment or two and then see what db they put out. Stock speakers are always really high in sensitive that way people think they are louder than they really are but once you turn that volume up to max or close they start to distort and can't handle the wattage

Telace Johnson I’m sticking to this 16

I bought these fairing face pieces for my 2001 GL1800 and they were extremely cheap plastic and with little force upon the first install snapped the bottom snap right off. My oem have been removed and installed many many times over the bikes 17 years and finally the plastic became brittle then snapped a plastic hook/snap. I contacted show chrome and they offered me a replacement at $24 plus whatever shipping for the one right side piece for a part that was inadequate in comparison to the factory oem. No thanks. So Buyer Be Ware of show chrome customer service. I also purchased the show chrome upper fairing wind reflectors and the vent seems to do nothing at all in regards to allowing any air flow no matter the position. I'd never recommend these upper wind deflectors period unless you ride only cold weather then they may help with that some.
