RE: How to install a high performance stereo system in a Bagger!
I am choosing between these JL's and Alpine Type X's. I have the Alpine's in my truck and they sound great. JL looks like they have a really nice Class D amp coming this spring! Thinking bout this one. http://mobile.jlaudio.com/jlaudio_pages.php?page_id=239

glideman, sorry to jump ahead but...how are mounting the head unit?? biketronics brackets or ??
Don't know yet....
Got any suggestions?
the only thing i know of out there is the biketronics brackets. rumor is they can be bought seperately for $50.
i'd think you could build something for less $$. in looking at the brackets, they look to be flat stock w/ holes for the hu mounting and holes to mount into the hd bracket.
post pics of what you do. i'm looking into a mild system for mine and will be fabbing up brackets if needed...

GlideMan,I like the bag lining work, it should really minimize echo or resonance.Are your enclosures vented? Or are you getting enough air in from the dsus-fittings around the bolts? I had to wire out-of-phase push-pull duals in my enclosure to eliminate the need for venting, but you have only one sub in each cabinet. Are you using a StraightWire product to minimize loss? Please don't say it's MonsterWire. So far, this should get the trophy for Post Of The Month, in my opinion.
