OK so out and about today with the bike. I decided to stop at a couple different shops to see what can be done about beefing up the sounds system. Currently I am running Sony head unit with Rockfords pbr300x4 with 6.5 Focals in the fairing. I want to add some sounds to the bags. Here are 2 ideas form 2 different shops
Shop 1
Wants to build a custom enclosure out of fiberglass into the bags and port it out of the side. Basically making the bags the enclosure. In that enclosure they want to place 2 JL 6" subs in each bag. Total of 4 JL's 6" subs. I would run the 6" subs off the pbr300x4 and then add a pbr300x2 to run the Focals up front. These guys admit they never done a a Harley like that before. They been around over 20 years and done some bad ass car installs. They did mine back in the day. Nobody up here with Harley's are into the stereos as much.
Shop 2
Again want to do the fiberglass enclosure only this one wants to mount 1 6" shallow mount kicker sub in each bag. Also they want to run the speaker lids with a 6x9. So each bag would have a 6" sub and a 6x9. They want me to dump the Fosgate amp and replace it with a Phoenix gold 5 channel 800 watt amp. This amp would need to be mounted in one of the bags. Now the installer who I was talking to said he has done a lot of Harley's when living in CA. He says they always put 6x9's in the bags. My only concern is would the 6x9's and the 6" sub be fighting each other?
Anyway what are your thoughts?
