A few people I know have mounted the amp under the seat for a cleaner look. I wonder if those speakers are waterproof.

My Tsukayu Small Batwing Fairing comes with 100w marine grade speakers (so 100 watts per speaker) for a clear sound, etc. Just make sure what ever you get are marine grade, just in case you get caught in the rain.

On a dyna? I wouldn't think there would be enough room under a dyna seat for an amp. All the fairing setups install them in the batwing so to the OP if you find a small enough amp you can fit it behind the speaker glass area made.

I got mine from MHinstruments.com. They are self amplified 100 watts a piece. No need to install an amp. Uses a headphone jack into my ipod and I use the ipod to adjust the volume level. Using the base reduction setting on the ipod EQ, I can hear the music at 70mph with a full face just fine. Fit perfectly in the harley 1/4 fairing for a clean look. I recommend them.

that looks great, have you ever run into issues with the speakers killing the battery in traffic or at lights?

In the video, those are alpine type s component speakers, i didnt notice the tweeters. But that should give you a good midrange sound. Those are not the current type s speakers, but an older model. I'd say they are around 80 watts each.

But i'd look into some marine grade speakers for those popup rain showers.

But those self amplified speakers would be the way to go.

Here's my setup. Speakers and amp from DWG. The amp is in my forkbag.
