Default 07 Road King stereo install

Here's a couple of pics of my latest addition to my RK. Head unit is an Eonon Double Din 7" Android 6.0 Car Stereo with built in gps, four front speakers are the dreaded 8W speakers from Boss, which are being fed from the head unit at 4 x 45w. The saddle bags have the Pioneer 6x9 speakers mounted in them which are being driven by a Boss 1000W amp. When I'm done with the tour pack, there will be two more 5 1/4" speakers in hog tunes speaker pods also driven by the amp. Not quite my first choice on components, but other than the head unit they are what I had laying around. Definitely can be heard at highway speeds (80-85) as well as three houses down according to my neighbors.



Shows the head unit with four speakers, two mounted on the handle bars and two mounted on the crash bar. (Can't seem to get the pic to rotate.)




TS-976M 420W speakers installed in speaker lids with police pucks.




Pioneer 5 1/4" speakers installed in 6" off road light buckets.

More pics? Of what? The Boss amp sits atop the fuse block under the left side panel. Let me know what you want and I will post them.

Sorry about the vague question.

The set up looks very interesting. I have a friend that is trying to figure out a way to add sound. Your setup looks like it gives a lot functionality. I just want to see some pictures of the head unit if you have them. Maybe some full bike shots as well.

First pic is looking over the radio box. The bottom of the sawhorse is about 7 feet in front of the front tire. Ignore the crap in the back of the pic. Currently building my garage.



Screen shot of the touch screen as I see it from the seat.



Looking from in front of the bike towards the rear. Looks fairly neat, doesn't stick out nor does it cause any issue with vision. If I lean forward, I can see more of the ground in front of the tire. I haven't looked over a fairing so I don't know how much of the road one can see looking over one.

Looks great for a no fairing application! Also like the fact that you just used what you had laying around. Sometimes budgets are important.

Thanks. I like the non-fairing look, but couldn't figure it out for a while. As I go through the components I'll upgrade them.

I bought the lids off of ebay. The fit is pretty good, I had to add an extra seal.

The lids had the police hardware or you had to drill and install the pucks. Thank you
