I like the design as it half encloses the speakers. Two things you can ask them for me if you have a chance. What are their thoughts on air space and a sub disrupting the 8 in your lid (my guess is that's why it's not completely free air). The other question is did you consider two 8's in the place of your SV200's vs. 1 ten inch? If so, then it kinda goes back to question one, about an enclosure, free air and air space with other speakers.
I don't think subs are impossible on a bike. I've heard some sweet ones, but the install is critical where most folks just think they can slap some in a bag and that's it. One of the best sounding bikes I've ever heard was a Roadking and it had an ST44, 10 inch and 6X9 all in a custom enclosure completely sealed up and it was perfect sounding.

It's a small local part-time shop.
I have a video of it at bike night....you can't see much because it's night time but message me your number and I'll text it to you. Bike was insane loud on a Roadking! Dude said the box made all the difference.

Kesean, your whole setup intrigues me. I'm a fan of pro audio setups and running full DD on my bike...well, more like 'was' since it's apart. Picked up Hertz and was thinking about a full switch. Have you compared to anyone else running a pro audio system?
I appreciate any info!

I thought I saw your bike on a familiar page. I believe I saw an earlier version of that sub enclosure. Of course I had to sign a non disclosure agreement...lol
How do you like the new head unit? Depending on the model its about $250 more than the Kenwood or Sony. I was just wondering what I get for that extra money?

I will post a video soon of my set up. As I said earlier I was on the fence about adding a sub but I'm glad I did. Those that have heard it are now inquiring about how they can get their sounds hooked up.

The head unit is nice but the Sony and Kenwood will give you the same thing. I think the cost is more do to it being completely waterproof and a direct plug and play. I do like the fact that you can place your iPod inside and also has a USB plug as well plus bluetooth. So several ways to play music. Adjustability is ok, I think you may be able to do a little more with the other two but don't quote me on it as I haven't played around with the other two. Haze or Gann maybe be able to tell you more about the other two.
