That's about the only flat spot on the grill.

thanks man! That's where I was looking at just thought it looked little tighter than I expected. Any issues with water on the tweets/ speakers? I had them covered with cloth on my sgs but don't see a clean way on the road glide

Default Sub or 6x9 in bags

Hey guys looking for opinions. I have Moto 602 in the fairing br2180 running them , fosgate all weather 6x9s in the lids with pn4.520 running those. It sounds good but of course I want more ha. I want to add a sub or 6x9 s to the inside of the bags. Looking at kicker comprt 8 or 10 for the shallow mount and all weather. Not sure on 6x9. Which would sound better for base? If I went 6x9 would it make a diff if I put both in one bag so I had a free bag for junk.
Thanks a lot for any input

You are not going to want a "sub" in your bag. Subwoofers need specific airspace requirements and need to be sealed. Your going to want a 8 or 10" mid driver. I'll let the experts (Alex) give you advice on exactly what you should go with. And 8's are going to give you more bass than 6x9's.

Bingo! For subs to sound right you need to have the correct enclosure for them. A mid bass might serve you better. Send me a note
