My OL had the handlebar mounted BOOM,and now the windshield mounted BOOM system. The windshield version is hands down better. Even at 60-70 riding beside here I can hear it.

 

Here are a few pictures from a Road King I did. Front had 6 3/4" Focal speakers mounted in chrome buckets on the crash bar, IPOD touch mounted inside the tank console powered and charged, 4- 6x9" speakers in the hard bags and an Alpine PDX 150.4 amplifier. It sounded so sweet, crisp and clear going down the highway.

 

I think a sweet RK system would be the 6.5" on the crashbar like onthelo showed and a set of 6x9's in Cycle Sounds lids with a RF 4 channel mounted to the underside of the lid running off an iPod mounted to/in the tank dash. This will still give lots of bag space and keep everything fairly protected.

That is what I put on my RK, and it works awesome! I think it is much nicer than the boom setup as you have a radio built in. Only way I would change is if I went with a full fairing

 

+1 this sounds like a good option too

 

What 6 X 9's did you use,....and how did u wire the 6 speakers on 4 channels ??

 

Super nice work! this looks great. Am considering something along these lines, perhaps with factory lower fairing mounted speaks in the front.

 

Onthello that setup looks ideal. Where do you get those dash panels, and are they only for '07 and earlier?

 

I like what you did with the engine guard speakers in the light buckets. Where do you get your buckets from? Will the speakers hold up to a good downpour?

 

I bought the extreme cycle radio It's very loud and clear.Haven't had a chance to try it on the interstates yet but running around home at 65 mph it works great with volume to spare. it has a usb flash drive port, sdcard slot,and a 3.5 mm jack.I have the control box mounted in the left saddle bag because it's the only part thats not waterproof.
