I agree with the thoughts about the passive xover.
Adding a sub is only going to do so much, and then only at lower speeds. Your biggest improvement will be replacing the fairing speakers with something really good, then socking them with a lot of clean power. This should be priority one. Next ditch the HK head unit for something better. Only THEN, consider the subwoofer.

I have buttkickers in my theater seats and its is what I would call AMAZING for both movies and audio tracks. You can crank it up to a volume where your ears won't bleed but "feel" the music like its REALLY cranked up. Everyone I show them to is amazed. Don't think they would work well on a bike, but highly recommend them for any movie room.

Glace - wallet? Brother all I wanna be is somewhere close to you! You're system rocks and I know you understand all there is. Crossover for the fairing system to the bass, ideas? Bass speaker? I was looking at the RF shallow as an idea. Looking for your help bro.

If you get an amp that has a dedicated subwoofer channel, you will have the xover you need. My JL Audio amp has this feature.

Shaky, thanks - that's exactly the alternative I was looking for. Although I'm now thinking of building my own crossover system for exactly what I want. Easier to buy the amp. Hum, lazy verses work. Yup, that was easy.

These guys are full of info about car audio.
I'm sure their knowledge can be adapted to motorcycle systems.
