Default RE: How to install a high performance stereo system in a Bagger!


ORIGINAL: Rhubarb

Just heard my first aplified mid and sub/bag speakers yesterday. They sound great. A coworker with a RK has em with some tweets mounted on the riser cover? Not sure what that part is on a RK. Uses an ipod nano velcroed to the dash panel.

As for cooling, how much airflow do you think amps get in a car trunk or under a back seat.
The bags should get plenty of air over them to keep them from being too hot.

If they were mine, I think I would try to design a box around the speaker/amp so they had guaranteed air around them and I could load the bags without worry.

Man, just another reason to want a bagger

Is your buddy Marquis 'Q' Smith? Sounds like the system on his Road King Classic....

Wow. This was a very informative thread. Any way a Mod could edit out the crap so it could continue to be an informative read?

Now, Mr. HD Forum Tough Guy, the one who talks big behind the keyboard, you probably need the amp and all of the extra speakers on your Electra Glide wannabe. It would take a lot of power to get the sound past your Neanderthal-sized skull and into your peanut-sized brain.

Glideman; did you put any baffleing behind the 5 1/4? Where did you mount the tweeter's and x-over's?
