Default Saddlebag Mounted Amp (JL-HD600)

I've searched high and low over the past few days trying to find a thread on mounting a amp in the saddlebags. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. I'm more looking for "how to" and pictures to see what has worked for others and or best mounting positions. Plan on doing the project myself. Thanks in advance.

Go to a dealer and look at how Harley does it on the CVO Road Kings.

Default Amp mounting

Alpine pdx in each bag with 8" midbass speaker and quad lids... In stretched bags.
Kesean before I had stretched bags I mounted them with rubber spacers and locknut screws in the factory bags. I will see if I can find some pics.

Any issues with taking the bag off for cleaning and maintenance? What type of bracket did you use?

Know used quick disconnect deutsch connectors...,previous setup no brackets just bolts and spacers...bags were lined.... Here is a better pic of current setup
Metal bracket connects to amp and hole for mounting thru bottom of bag.. Very secure and clean I like it better. Bracket sits on hump in bottom of bag and fits snugly on inside of bag.
