Default Questions plus bonus videos

So I added lower fairings a while back. Before winter is over I want to move my kappa 62.11's to the lowers and add some components up top.

1. Where are you RGS guys mounting your tweeters?

2. What do I need to do with the pods to make them sound good?

3.I'm currently running a CW B2, will I need more power for 4 speakers?

Bonus vids of my current setup...

1st- You don't need to do anything special to the Kappas for the lowers other than buy the CVO grills.
2nd- You can't run 4 speakers on the B2 if one or both sets of speakers are 2ohm.
Which components are you looking at?

To do it right you need a 4 channel amp. The Kappas are 2ohm speakers so you can't wire the amp in parallel to get the most out of it. You would need 2 sets of 4ohm speakers. I've done it with that amp and it was --- ok. I'd recommend you get a four channel amp.

Tweeters, I've seen them mounted on the grills or custom grills made to house them. Any specific components you are looking at? Lots of great coaxial out there.

Lowers. It is what it is. You'll get volume from that location but not a ton of bass. Line the inside of the pod with one sheet/layer of polyfll and let it rip.

p.s. nice songs.

So is it even worth it? Should I just look into some higher quality speakers and leave it at that?

Unless your doing a really high end system then no, not really.

Sounds Nice, see my sig for my system and video! But on a different note, what exhaust do you have? I'm going to do 2-1 on my RGS, (Was a "Bagger don't look right guy" when I bought my '10 SG, (stock 2-1) but after riding it, like the looks now, if you don't have an ULTRA, but have a SG or RGS like ours it looks "Sportier" ,,and also performs better. (Why pay 4-500 bucks for a "Dummy Pipe" LOL

It's a D&D fat cat. Only way to go man. A look at FuelMoto's dyno page shows this is easily in the top three as far as HPs and tq goes. Plus it looks and sounds ****ing awesome. I will say it's louder than expected. Videos really don't do it justice. Here's another...
