Juice, i wonder how they would sound playing around with more deadner inside or fabric lined interior,etc. Although i dont think i would touch a thing..lol
Mike,
I have thought about it, but I may run another set in the bags since my wife has her own bike now she said I could do what I want. Don't need as much bag space. Gotta put something together for next years MNG in BRF, Wi.

Very clean looking job on the holes and wiring. I'm curious why the wiring is coming out of the bag so far from the speaker? Is there an amp in that bag that is wired in that loom as well?

No amp in there.
I have a quick disconnect under the side cover, I leave excess wire so I can pull my bag off and set it down and clean the bike with wires still connected.

Now that's a well thought out plan. I wished I'd read that before I made up my lid disconnects. A guy can learn a lot hangin out here. Thanks for the idea Juice

Those 6x9s mounted like that with the holes drilled FRICKEN POUND.

There were 15 to 18 guys that wanted to call Juice a liar until he opened his bags.

That is a very impressive setup. No video will do it due diligence.

So what 6x9's are in the bags? I hope I'm not breaking some unwritten rules here by asking......

What do they sound like at 70mph - I would assume the sound fall-off is even more then if the 6x9's were mounted in the lids.....

So the rest of the recipe includes the speakers and amp. What are the other ingredients you used?
