Jekyll & Hyde Concept
Ok I have seen some post trying to mix things up a bit from the same old builds. So here is my question to exercise the brain. Has anyone pulled off a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde concept? What I mean by that is a great sounding two or four speaker setup (Upper/lower fairing or upper/bag lids) for year round touring where you want to utilize all of the bag/tour pack space, then a kick *** six to eight maybe even ten speaker system for cruise night/bike week where bag capacity and tour pack capacity is not necessarily needed. In other words two sets of bags and maybe even another tour pack loaded with speakers. All using quick disconnect electrical connectors so in less than an hour you could go from one setup to the other. Give me your thoughts on how you would setup this system(s). I want to pull this off on a pre '13 batwing bike but let's here from you '14 later and shark nose fans as well.

My end game plan is to have sealed bags ported with 10" speakers as my around town and events bags. Keep my stock bags/lids for traveling. It's very easy to do with quick disconnects. Issue you may run into is if the bags and fenders don't line up from stock and aftermarket which mine don't. You'd have to make sure you don't have rubbing and what not from each set. Very doable.

yes i have done this......for sound/pimp ten speakers, with 10s and aux batteries lithium, in the bags plenty of power and dsp.
for long range, original bags no speakers, quick dissconnects, speakers in fairing, lowers and tp pods, and still sounds very nice, just a lot less low end reponse.
set up requires nothing but bag swap.

That sounds like a great plan. I like the low end thump of subs but need bag space when the wife and I are touring so the bag swap would be the ticket. I also thought about adding an all speaker/amp tour pack like the Voodoo beatbox or grudge pack which could also be swapped. Load it up with eights and enough power to give me a back massage lol!
