Another 6 speaker system advice?
Helping a friend. He is not internet savvy. So I am asking for him. And will most likely be doing all the work. He has a 2012 Electra Glide Ultra limited. He currently has 4 Boom speakers. 2F and 2R. He would like to keep his stock HU. He is most interested in improving the bass if possible. But as it is now at high speeds or windy days the system is pretty week. So wants 6 speakers, Adding 2 to lower faring the best way to go? Budget is in the 600 range if possible. So adding/replacing 6 new speakers and an amp. I just did mine so I think I have the install down except I did not add to lower faring. We were at the 2015 Rally. And the music guys there said the lower pods were the best place to add bass? Thanks for any input.

The best bass is actually going to come from 6x9's in the lids or inside the saddle bags. In regard to 6.5 speakers on an Ultra the best bass is going to come from all three locations with powerful speakers and a powerful amp. On a $600 budget I'd be looking at the Value Line Titan II speakers from Biketronics in the fairing and lowers. Kicker KSC674 speakers in the rear pods with the soundstream PN4.1000D amp. That's about as good as it gets on a $600 budget.

Similar set up
PN.1000D - 150.00
BT Regular 7P1 - 200.00 (on sale right now), I'd wire these by themselves
2 sets of Kicker KSC - 200.00 I'd wire these in parallel
Leaves you 50.00 bucks for amp wiring kit, polyfill and a 12 pack!
.....oh in my experience with speakers the worse place for bass was the pods. There's not enough room to move air there.
Best place for bass is inside the bags.

That makes more sense. And I have BT stuff now and am a fan. Just seems that if speakers are in the pods you move thru the sound instead of away from it. But I guess bass for the most part is none directional. He is going to put his bike inside this off season and work on it. I think cutting up the lids may be an issue. But we shall see..Down the line I will post back results. Thanks again
I think with the above 6 speaker set up he'll have plenty of volume
