Don't know how much different the RG lowers are? Fairing Factory makes speaker pods for non vented lowers. Move your polks to the lowers and add another pbr in the fairing for some biketronics 7.1s. Should more than double the sound.

you have a pbr300x2 and using a fader? what other equipment do you have sir because something is missing out of this equation

good move. Set your gains based on the sticky, either ear or DMM. If you blow the MM651 speakers, replace them with the BT7P1 7.1" from Biketronics.

My point is set your expectation higher than CVO.

Just out of curiosity, how many watts does a CVO system have?

I have a '08 CVO Ultra. The PBR300X2 is in the fairing driving the Polks. The CVO amp is under the tour pak and is driving the J&M speakers in the rear pods. I have the stock HK head unit and handlebar controls.

Ouch! I guess what impressed me about a CVO system was that I could hear it clearly on the other side of the showroom. I know there are higher end and better quality sounding systems.

I want what I have to be at it's optimum.

Thanks again though UN! You should be getting a commission!

my system sounds like a concert hall sitting in my garage which is 1200+ sq ft. Get it out on the road and it's a total different animal

well it does but the point was it sounds SOOOO much better sitting still. Enclose it in a space such as the CVO on the showroom or mine in the garage and it sounds that much better.

OP, take that CVO for a ride, then come back and tell us what you think.
