So true. Multimeter and test tones.

here is what I am running:

Two speakrs in the fairing and lowers with a tweeter bar (color matched) and 300 watt amp
Two 6x9's in the bags and two 5 1/2 inch in the rear speaker pods with a 300 watt amp in the tour pack
All Rockfordfosgate and the system is way loud. I will try and post it on to you tube.

All toghether is is ten speakers and 600 watts and it is loud.

If you go with speaker lids, make sure you install 6x9s. The bass will be much better than the 5x7s.
