Subwoofer?
16 Street Glide CVO with Stage 2 audio. Would like to add a mild sub in one bag. I've heard them and even saw one the other night with 2 subs but i'd like to save some bag space 
Anyone point me in the right direction?

What specifically would like to know?
The common size is an 8inch speaker facing the rear wheel as it fits just perfect at the end of the bag. There's also kits to mount a 10 inch speaker in the center of the bag. If you want to go smaller I've seen some 6.5's that hit hard....either way you will need power to drive them and that's the challenge with subs that they draw a lot of juice. I've also seen ported enclosures with the subs facing up in the bag. The 8's and 6.5's normally have a cut out in the bag.
I also think if you are going to add a sub to your bike, the Boom II system doesn't have enough behind it to compliment a sub with the appropriate volume and highs to really shine on a bike that has sub.

I think you've answered it. Frankly, I rarely go over half volume. 600 watts is more than enough to be heard form too far away but just too much highs. I don't want anything too extreme, but you might be right. One way to find out. Thanks everyone.

These guys appear to have it all figured out when it come to subs.

I hear ya Tim! Personally I don't think subs are a good idea on a bike if you do any riding. Only good for the parking lot.

Gannicus I ride maybe 5k a year. I don't take really long rides, back can't take it. One saddlebag is almost always completely empty. If I go to Daytona I have a bag that straps to the backrest. So, basically I can afford to lose 1 saddlebag. But, I have to do more research for sure.

If you want some bass start up front with the Moto 602's and work your way back with the 6x9's with an amp that produces at least 150W per channel @ 4 ohms. No need for a sub. Trust me.
