You got a nice budget to make something work well. Just keep in mind the 8" lids will yield a decent midbass but not many choices play well under 80-90hz that work in lids.

Just to start the speaker selection food fight I'm gonna throw out ideas like Beyma 6G40ND in the fairing, Mmats 6CX or GZ Reds in the TP and GZ Yellow Basket 8s (GZCK 200SPL) in the lids.

Thank you T. With a jm amp tray I will be able to get JL amp up front. Will I be able to get a small enough powerhouse to fit as well, or are BT brackets be a must? Any suggestions on a second amp?

If you need all amps in the fairing then your speaker options will have to pair up with what fits in the fairing, AND consider you need to slide a DSP somewhere in there as well. You most likely need the BT brackets to get a third amp in there. All do-able but tricky wiring.

I would consider something like this:
600x6- four channels bridged to a set of beymas in your fairing; 2 channels in mono to your tourpack
250.2 - four tweeters
GZ mini amp or similar on a BT bridged to two 8's in the lids
DD DSI in the cb hole
Sony Radio

I would go w the brackets brother!!! The JL might be able to cover the fairing & some horns and for the lid 8s possibly a SD 600.1 2 ohm or NVX VADM and maybe just grab a SD 250 and get all them horns on that biotch if needed. All that should fit under the hood with the BT brackets.

I'm on the fly but before u open ur wallet for anything but the BT brackets make sure to be patient and get a bunch of other ideas brother then carefully think thru the amp - speaker wiring strategy.

On the flip side u better hurry!! Winter is just around the corner! I have pretty deep family roots in Williston brother. Uncle is a big dawg at XTO. I have a lil retreat just west of Lewis & Clark near the ole Chris Cove. Maybe a cold soda w ya later in the summer?!!!

Take ur time brother and use the one and done play book.

I would put the 8” on the JL (bridged) and put one of the 6.5” sets (8ohm) in bridge/parallel on the other 2 channels.
