Default questions for audio for dyna

I know this isn't the most common platform but I'm looking to put some speakers on my fat bob. I don't know whether to do the fork bag stereo from joe the powder pro, or to adapt a touring engine guard and lower fairings with speakers in them. Or a new idea that has come to mind is a set of tsukayu hard bags for fat bob with speaker lids assuming they fit (i need measurements on that front) fairing or bag speakers would be amplified by a rockford amp. just wondering the best idea or performance. this is my bike

and this is the idea of the lowers (if this is a member here i stole your picture and thanks for the help)

Thanks joe. That hasn't been ruled out either. Question is whether I'd run a splitter of some type for the audio signal if I used yours in conjunction with the fairing lowers or tie them both together with a 4 channel amp or what

J&M MAS-2008 self amplified speakers. Bulletproof, loud enough, clean wiring install, and they mount directly to the controls securely. Not cheap, but worth every penny.

good sounding setup setup for that price though i'd go with joe's setup it's very impressive and inconspicuous. my bike would truly look like mickey mouse with those sticking up over the fairing

I just posted a thread a few weeks ago where I added two 6.5 speakers powered by a PBR300x2 amp on a sportster. You could search for it and it should show up. I mounted the amp in the bag and the speakers on the handlebars using KC Hilites light buckets. Let me know if you need any help or are interested.

Yes they set up high and are aimed at your helmet for direct sound where it belongs. I don't even notice mine, but others may not like "the ears" They also come in black which are less conspicuous. You can not beat the sound or quality of this set up.
