I am looking at these ds18 speakers. I have seen other use these. Do they sound good? Is there a better option for about the same price? What do I need to do to fit these in the fairing of a 2015 street glide special? I currently have kenwood 6.5 but I need a bit more mid bass.
Your best bet for "more bass" will be a set of GZ coax (GZCF 6.5 SPL). Haven't' much good about DS18 speakers.
Yes they are more expensive, but you get what you pay for. Motorcycle audio is not car audio and is more expensive to get what you want.

Yeah I messed up, meant to say 400 watt amp. 100 watt x4. I will check those speakers out. Thanks.
If you're only running 2 speakers on that amp, then I would bridge them. If you're running 4 speakers, then I would agree with Fireball and go with Mmats.
I can bridge them. But I cannot seem to get it to bridge in "stereo" when I do it seem like either left or right is not working as it should. Like when you play a song the plays 1 side or the other it sounds like it is not playing.

Most amps are stereo when bridged. But it will take a specific song and have to be listening in the garage to hear it's not in stereo. Did you try switching the "mode" from 2 to 4 or 4 to 2? Do you have just 2 RCA's plugged into amp?

I had 2 spliters for rca. Had right side of rca into channel's 1 and 2. And had left side split into 3 and 4. Had the switch on 4 channel. I do not remember if I tried it with switch in 2 channel mode. And yes I could tell something was off with one of the Shinedown songs I played. Do not remember specific song but it was missing some chorus at the begining of song. Also googled left and right speaker test. With that test sound was coming from both speakers, 1 would be louder but still sound coming through both speakers.
