Both of his are in the Tour Pak. I think the largest you can fit in the fairing is the 4.520, and the 2.350 with the Hogtunes 2nd amp bracket.

Definitely. I am running my Pioneers in parallel on a 125 watt 2 ohm channel and they sound pretty good but I dont like having to adjust the bass boost on the amp in order to get them to respond how I like. Im thinking that when I get this TN4.900 soundstream installed, with it's 150 watts per channel going to each speaker, then I will be more than satisfied. We'll see....

all depends on your end goal and what costs you're willing to associate to that end goal. and by cost I don't mean just $.
4 speakers in each saddlebag is very doable but the cost there is pretty much all storage space will be gone.
If you do this, big power is going to be your friend. Something like the amps I run would be ideal for this type of setup.
225x4 @ 2 ohms.
wire 2 right inward facing as right rear in parallel
wire 2 right lid speakers as right front in parallel
wire 2 left inward facing as left rear in parallel
wire 2 left lid speakers as left front in parallel
that will bring all 4 channels to 2 ohms and I can only imagine what that will sound like.
couple of things to note if you go that route:
1. make sure to line those saddlebags with material
2. make sure to isolate 2 speakers in each from the other 2 speakers using baffles.

This is a very old thread Kdawg and obviously I'm not Ultra. But I think he would tell you the Biketronics BT4180 or the Soundstream TN4.900 will get it done.

If you are thinking about putting four two 6X9's in each bag you are going to lose space. Might as well toss an amp in the bag and with bigger space you can toss some serious power in there. Hertz HDP4, Soundstream TN4.900 come to mind!
