In the bag, I'm going with the amp rack and wire harness from AmericanHardBag. http://americanhardbag.com/ Built to order with some options to choose from. Ideally, I'd put the Razor in there too but they say the dimensions are too big.

The Razor is 10 3/16'ths long without the handles, longer than whatever the spec was in the email reply I got. So far I have just the rack on order. If it turns out that I can indeed fit the Razor in there I will certainly move it so I can get FM back. When I get the fitment resolved (or not) I'll order the corresponding harness.

Wow...this thread got hi jacked! jmc, the rider can hear the lowers better, the passenger can hear the lids better. since you have the lowers already, I would do the lowers first. I have 6x9's in the lids and are a little harder to open and close but not a giant hassle. If I lean back a couple inches you can hear the lids with enough power behind them. Do the lowers and then do the lids later. You will hear the speakers in front of you better especially at speed (65 mph +).

Thanks...that is the exact type of answer I wanted. I was just letting the jacking go! I don't know if they were even aware of it or not! My wife doesn't ride with me but a couple hundred miles this year, and she doesn't care for loud music....sooooooooo,
I think in my application the lowers just might be the better way for me to go. The only thing that I will miss is the ability to take my glasses off and put them in their bag and shove em in my little glove box.

Sorry Brother didn't mean to Hi Jack your thread. Hell I thought Pioneer74 answered your question way back in post #7. . . I don't even know how we got into the lid discussion. apologies.
