Hello all, this is my first post. Brand new member to the forum. Ive read quite a few posts, but want to ensure that I wire everything correctly. As stated in the title, I have a 2019 Street Glide Special and was formally a sport bike rider. I ride a lot both around town and trips long distances. I like mid bass punch (as low as I can get it) and SQ. Not interested in competing nor speakers in bags. So heres my set-up that I will be installing (all purchased from Garage Baggers with wiring kits):
2 GZCK 165XSPL with Diamond MO75T in grills(fairing)
2 GZCK 165XSPL (Lowers)
SD Evox 1200.4 (Both sets of GZs)
SD Nano 250.2d (Horns)
DRS1 DSP w/factory radio flash file
Will be adding 8in lids later(probably more sooner than later.. considering GZ yellow basket 8, Beyma 8p300Fe/N or 8LW30 8, and PRV(not sure of model). Not sure of horns. Also considering Beyma 8 coax with compression driver or any suggested Coax 8.
will I need mounting brackets for amps or will they simply mount on rack under radio with screws or double-sided tape and no additional hardware? (I assume DSP will fit in side cubby)
Should both amps be wired to stock battery (I assume with separate pos and neg wires) or will I need additional battery?
Will these 2 amps be enough to power 8 lids with horns or 8 coax, once added? If not, what amp is suggested?
If I remember correctly Chris at Garage Baggers said that the files that will be downloaded to the dsp will include the tune for my set up, but open for suggestions on tune. I live in Detroit area and have found one shop that was suggested by friends, that tune/install motorcycle audio. They are extremely backed up, therefore I will be installing myself. Open for suggestions of a highly knowledgeable, professional, and reliable motorcycle audio shop in my area. I dont always have time to do everything myself and would love to have an option.
I have no experience with motorcycle audio(but have high voltage electrical background), so if I missed something or if theres other info that I need, I am open for suggestions and education.
Thank you.

I would get the Biketronics fairing pod removal bracket so that u free up room for the amps and DSP. 1200 on the tray, DSP in the left cubby and 250 on clutch side bracket.
I would also send that DSP back and get a different one. Damn near all the folks that I know that have them ditch them in a hurry.
Also, if u can get the HU flashed with a techno at some point, u will be in a much better spot so that ur tune is not a defensive tune.
