Biketronics BT355 HD Radio Line Leveler And Pre-Amp Adapter - In Fairing
Horns - 2 PRV TW400Ti-Nd-4 installed in fairing under stock radio, wired to B52 (Amp tuned down as this amp was a overkill for these)
Front Fairing Speakers - 2 6 1/2 PRV 6MR500-NDY-4 4ohm wired to Massive TX48 on channel 1/2 wired normal

Rings used for bags - Nagy Rings. Find him on facebook. The guy is one awesome dude and will help you with anything. Sells 8, 10 and 12 inch rings.
Special shoutout to Ndfastln and SBates08 - Excellent members here and guided me to picking the right combo that would work together.
Impression
Ive used hertz, rockford, infinity and mmats on many installs not just for myself but for many friends over the past 2 years. Ive done several installs with a basic 2 speaker setup all the way to a 6 speaker setup of mmats. These PRV blow all them away. For the price, the performance is amazing HOWEVER the PRV do require some power to shine.
The Massive TX48 is a beast. It's like a road glide decided to have a baby and found the perfect spot to be mounted. This thing sits on top of the RG headlight snug. You do have to cut the top 2 notches off but overall this amp is worth ever dollor.
Install
I'll try to put photos up in proper order but they may be scrambled. I had carpet in my bags already so I had to remove some by laying the rings down and cutting out the shape. I then took some of the glue off by scuffing the inside bag. JB Weld was used on the rings and left secured down by a few bolts for about an hour. I used Neverwet on all the speakers and the speaker cloth I put between the ring and the 8" that were mounted in the bags. Neverwet did leave a blue haze on the speaker but it didn't both me, kinda went with my bike color. The drilling for the holes/horns was pretty easy, you just have to make sure you have clearance from the stereo. I used a hole saw to drill.
Videos
Don't have any yet, currently Ive ripped out the cams and I'm in the middle of doing a cam upgrade to cyclerama 570-2 but I'll be done and heading down to the world record in Paris Texas this saturday so if anyone is going and wants to hear the setup let me know. After I get back from that I'll post a few videos. Hope some of the pictures help others. In conclusion, I've never heard any setup sound so loud but clear in all the years of audio/motorcycle Iv'e been around. Again this is subject to my opinion only.

I think it's a sundowner or low boy. It's a Harley seat. Bought it in 2013 and its held up pretty good.

Couldn't find a affordable deal on one and play money was running low. I was also doing a cam upgrade at the time. A dsp may be in future but unless i go with something small that may mount on the right side of the radio behind the fuel gauge in the fairing, I'm pretty happy everything is in the fairing now.

Tuning will take ur ears to a far better spot so start saving ur Starbucks cash and drink water instead. Beer money too.
