Default More research questions

A few more questions if you please.

1) Anyone have problems using speakers that are not water resistant/waterproof?

2) How much ca-rap can you fit under a 2017 Batwing fairing without mods?
Big amp and a DSR1?

3) What is the bigest amp that fits.
(Size not watts) without mods.

The pods limit things some. If you go to BT brackets you can fit 2 amps and a dsp in the right combination. I have a JL xd400 on the factory amp tray with room to spare. I’m using the factory pods. I could still squeeze in a micro amp in the cb hole and possibly a psm. The JM amp tray gives you a larger amp footprint.

Hertz HDP is the biggest I have had on the JM Tray. Without the HD speaker pods u can also fit a JL280/4 or similar sized amp vertically on the clutch side of the BT bod remover bracket and also a JL280/4 sized amp in the CB hole. The ARC DSP will fit on the brake side of the BT bracket vertically with some industrial Velcro.
Reasonably sized crossovers beneath each 6.5 speak.

If it does, its not much. I have a 600/6 on one with a SD250.2 in the cb hole. With the Bt brackets I still have room for an amp on the clutch side and DSP on the other if I want to add either or both.

I have an arc Moto 600 on the Factory tray. I have an arc PSM on the angle of that same tray on the clutch side. And I have a n vx400 in the CB hole with the factory pods in place
