15 RG finally done!!!
Some of you know the journey I went on to try to find a system that sounds good to me. Let me first say that all of the products I used are quality, the vendors and the Manufactures are great and so are their products. This is not to discredit ANY of them.
First I started by ditching the Harley Boom 2 system fronts and in the lids. I replaced these with Focal KRC's in the fairing and 570AC's in the lids. I powered these with a Biketronics BT4180 with the BT LL's. I was flashed to stock no amp and 4 speakers. This sounded great over the Boom system but I was just not happy with the brightness and lack of low's. I also felt the lack of adjustments.
This is where my quest started and I I am surprised where it ended.
I bought 2 Diamond micro 4v2's, an Arc moto 600.4, Hertz Mille Pro 6x9's, Arc Moto 6x9's, Vtwin 6x9 adapters, and misc extras.
We then ditched the BT4180 and the 570AC's and the LL's. Installed the Hertz in the lids and left the 165KRC's in the fairing. Im not really surprised by this but the final part is that I ended with the 2 Diamond Micro's and not the Arc amp. I am now running the Micro's bridged and one to each side. So each amp is pushing a 6.5" and a 6x9.
This thing sounds so ridiculous and kills the original set up I had and the first run that I tried with the BT.
Just goes to show that the mainstream way may not always be the best for everyone.
I am not saying this is a top notch system but I really like it and would like to hear a bit of feedback positive OR negative.
And a big thanks to a few members here that let me bend their ear and to LL247 for hooking me up.
Thanks Guys...

Only one set of 6x9's in the lids and one set of 6.5's in the fairing. I decided to go with the Hertz over the Arc's.
So total set up is one 6x9 in each lid and a set of 6.5's in the fairing. Micros are are 4's and bridged.
Hope this clears it up.

That makes more sense. But you should be running one to the front solely and one ro the rear solely . I hope that is how your setup. That would make for a rocking setup.

Never heard of a left and right amp stage set up on a sled. Interesting.
Hoping you meant front and rear stage.
