My first thought would be to ask if you are 100% sure that you are comparing the same sound pressure levels...meaning are you sure that you're comparing the same volume sitting still, than you are while you're riding and hearing the distortion?
i answered my first post without reading the entire thread, but your previous answer is pretty much spot on...

Pretty much. For the discerning ear, yes a difference can be heard. For the untrained ear, don't waste your time and money, spend it on chrome
It doesn't really add much weight either. We're talking ounces, more than likely less than what would equal a pound (that's less than 16 ounces for those that celebrate the 420 holiday).

I think the speaker enclosures would work better.
The glove boxes converted to speaker boxes? Yes. Not by much, but I'll bet you'll hear a bigger difference from those than you will the fairing. Stuff those with Polyfill and you should be good. They still won't be air tight though, unless you get some made like what GTSDesigns showed us a while back. I wish I could afford to drop that kind of loot, but I'm bangin' on a budget.

Nice setup by the way GTS

yes, thank you very much and the ones i made for the roadglide lowers are pretty much a sealed enclosure and sound amazing, i compared them to other setups, difference is night and day, on my bike adding the lowers made for a more full sounding sytem, just sounds amazing... my entire setup really doesnt take that much room though, still can store quite a bit and add a tourpack, for more space, when traveling...
started off like this:












ended like this:

I used dynamat in my fairing along with hogtune speakers. Installed the dynamat after I installed the speakers and I think it made a difference. I hear the tunes more clearly at all speeds for sure.
