Replace the lids for what reason? To go with a 6x9 over a 5x7? You don't know what you thought you knew. Just because you're a dealer doesn't mean squat.

I hope i'll try Kevlar series soon. Will let you know how it's sounds
Im curios why you used a 5 channel amp for 4 speakers? How do you have it wired to use all the channels?

No modification needed. They drop right in.

The bike came with stock 4 speakers system and 5x7 lids without speakers and yes i know i can use adapters for 6x9 but again 6x9 in 5x7 spot looks horrible and takes more space inside the saddle bags. Of course if i have a chence to go with bigger speaker i'll go with bigger speaker but anyways if the bigger speaker will look horrible- i'll go with smaller.

this bike have a 10" subwoofer. so two channels for fronts, two for rears and one for sub. Subwoofer easy removable if you need more cargo room. This guy want to listen his tunes and not to embarrass neighbours.

Come on now let's be for real here. You're saying the 6x9 look horrible in a 5x7 lid and takes up bag space....seriously? But yet you'll take up the entire tourpack with a useless Sub that doesn't have any benefit for anything other than parking lot pimping.....and you're worried about bag space??? Come on bro you're not dealing with a bunch of dummies here.

Ye and people here telling me that 8" PA in saddlebags hits pretty hard below 80Hz and at the same time they saying that easy removable subwoofer box which playing below 40 is useles and all bass is gone after 40Mph. come on lol

I'll try to make some videos outside and on the road to proof that there is few ways to get good sound without destroying the saddlebags or something.

It reminds me the battle between SPL and SQ guys in car audio. Someone like to shake their hair with subwoofers and someone like to get goosebumps with sound quality

I'll agree with you on the 8's in the bags. I don't believe they're audible much over 50 mph but at that same speed I believe they'll be heard by the rider moreso than a sub in the tourpack. There's a lot you can do with sled audio but you cannot change physics. First and foremost you have to know what you're building, a parking lot queen or a system for a rider. Those systems will differ on the deeper end of the spectrum.

Well thats true. You have to know what you're building. But if my subwoofer wasn't audible i'd never get that guy back asking for another subwoofer right? And other guys which heard that bike came and ask for subwoofers for their bikes.

I'm actually fell in love with Kicker CVRT 10 subs. Just 0.5CuFt sealed box but a lot of bass and i'd say this sub is better than RF P3S. The only modification must be done is drill the holes in the bottom part of beerbox to let the bass come outside.


I hope we understand each other and someday we can meet and listen some bikes with different systems
