Here is a little 4 speaker. Don't mind the garage mess. This is MMats and DD Vo6x9's

That does sound pretty good for 4 speakers. I'll reserve my comment on the MMATS.

No pics yet, but my winter upgrade almost done. In spite of the immense patience some of you must have had with me, the MMATS are in all 4 corners, DSI-2 dsp, and Stinger amp all in. Have not set the gains but turned them to zero just to make sure the test tone worked. Put some music on and man, what sweet sound at level 2 on volume. No doubt hearing at highway speeds with this set up. Gains to get set this week and then start zip tie magic.
I appreciate everyones help on this. Maybe after the Wisconsin trip the missus will let me put bag speakers in the cart.

You are going to love the Native 180 kit. I made that change 6 years ago. I really enjoyed the way it looked, rode and handled. Congrats.

Fairing swap for road glide

Speakers undecided other than faital 10's that are staying. Likely going with 6 Beyma 8's, but h sure which ones. Space and power will determine which ones I go with.

What did you use to secure the amp on the light, double sided tape? Pretty good sized gap between them on mine.

I use a sheet of Velcro and some foam padding that's about 1/4" to 3/8" thick in the front near edge of headlight to raise it up in the front a bit.

Adding another JL XD amp, and hopefully getting around to adding 8" lowers for winter. Possibly 10s in the bags later in the year. Just had a run in with some giant rodents so funds are tight for a while.

Well since that picture was taken I have moved that TX48 to the rear bag and I picked up a Massive BLX4 (It was on sale for $149) and the BLX4 now sits on the front light. Same depth and height but a little shorter in length. I did put a small piece of velcro on the bottom and a few pieces of single sided felt to help with the cushioning.

I wired channel 1 & 2 to the front 6.5, parallel wired the front horns to channel 3 giving it a 2ohm load and decided to put 2 more horns (1 in each bag) and wired that parallel with a 2 ohm load to channel 4.
