Well. Thanks to @cshocker for the feedback/advice on equipment.

I ended-up swapping my Rockford Fosgate Amp & Focal Audio Speakers for gear from Cicada Audio.
opted for the FLX700.4 Amp, CXX57.2 (bags) & CXX65.2 (lowers).

Cut & wrapped a new mounting board for the saddlebag - and also upgrade the last bit of power wire feeding the Amp to 4AWG.

I’ve got a bit more fine tuning to do, but I’m pleased for now.

 

That is a dam good combo of equipment. Those CXX are a fine sounding speaker and that amp will put them close to their wheelhouse.

Be careful with that amp as it is under rated and will do more than advertised power.

 

Is that an air cylinder for your air ride..?
It just caught my eye.

Thanks

 

I like your power/ground quick disconnect.

 

Yessir. Tank for AirRide.

 

Thanks. I used to have the smaller, 50Amp, Anderson connector. Decided to 'go big' and upgrade it to 4-gauge.

 

I kinda dig it.

Probably should have opted for 6x9 (using adapted plates) in the bags.

I may transfer these 5x7's to my ultra Classic and grab the bigger speakers for this bike.

 

Where do you store stuff when going on a trip? Heck, I usually have my bags filled and a sissy bar bag.

 

This is not a bike that I'd take on a trip...

I have an Ultra Classic for rides with Wifey, or for longer journeys.

 

Since that is a pre-Rushmore bike you could get Hogtunes 6x9 lids and paint them to match. I ran them on my 2010 Ultra Classic and loved them. The speakers didn't hang down as low as they would with an adapter.

I wish they made good lids for the Rushmore bags but every set of premade lids I have seen for the newer bags look like they just bolted an adapter on and the speakers are down in the bottom of the bags.
