As a DIY guy myself....a clean install is of importance. If the next guy have to work (or even yourself) or troubleshoot behind the install, they can and will see exactly the flow of the install. Thank you for both videos, strip, twist, solder, shrink, added disconnects, and cable management.....dude you rock and I greatly appreciate your dedication to detail.
Great install. My ONLY critique is, please please PLEASE, when your "wedging" a wire in somewhere, use a plastic wedge tool so you don't take a chance in nicking a wire. Other than that, your more than welcome to come on down to Florida and help me 🌴👍... LOL
Awesome video.. do you have a video about your lower set up ? I've been looking at different pods what do you have going on with speakers, amp and pod?
I don’t have a video dedicated to just the lowers. The pods are custom made so I can’t recommend those. I do know that Hog Tunes makes a pair that look deep enough to except a decent sized magnet speaker. My speakers are ground zero, the new yellow basket 6.5 coaxials. The amp running the lowers and the tour pack speakers is a Rockford Fosgate TM400X4AD. It’s a bit under powered compared to the other stuff on the bike but it still sounds good. And the signal to the amp is coming from a Rockford DSR1 DSP. That’s really the heart of the system in my opinion. The whole system is 10 speakers, 4 amps and it would be a nightmare to control without a DSP. Thanks for watching.
Being mid bass, they roll off pretty severely at 100Hz. It’s been a while since I’ve been in there and played with that but I’m thinking it was somewhere between 500 Hz and 1K.
No problem. It's actually not an eq. It's a real time analyzer, or some just call it an RTA. That one is a BDS Digital Spectrum Analyzer. Model PP-131.
Great detailed vid! I have a similar setup with mmats 6x9s in my lids and the hertz 200s in the bags. What crosovers are you using? For the lids and the mid bass in the bags??
A Rockford DSP is handling the frequencies to the Hertz 200's and the 6x9's have their own crossovers that are made by Kicker but I am really unhappy with them and was looking at the DS18 2-way passive crossovers. I'm open to any input anyone has on 2 way crossovers. They have to be good for at least 300W.
Tough question without knowing what else is in the mix…If you don’t have tour pack speakers then run them off of the rear channel, if you have tour pack speakers, run the 8 inch off of the sub channel and set the crossover “All-pass”. Or don’t.. personal choice.
Strip off equal amounts of casing on each wire then push them straight on with each other and give them a little twist, then solder and heat shrink. It really helps to have a set of clamps to hold the wires while you solder them. Like these... amzn.to/3ckaeYW
Great video My build is on a 2018 Road Glide. 4 Hertz SV 200.1 Mid Range speakers in front. Accompanied by 4 Hertz ST25 Horns, my read is only 2 Hertz SV 200 L’s in the Lids accompanied by 2 ST35’s, adding a different set of lids Double 8’s and that will give me 2 more SV 200 L’s and 2 More ST35’s. Have 4 amps 2 - BT4180 and 2 - BT2700-2’s also have MLK 1650.3’s in tour pak pods.
what brand lower fairing pods are those? I have Ground Zero coaxials and i couldnt get the Ground Zero label facing the right way because of the speaker hook ups. even using a half inch spacer.
Mine are a custom made “one off”. I can’t say who made them because he’s not interested in making any more. Just no money in it. I would say take a look at the Hog Tunes ones.
I try not to go over the whole system in every video, I don’t care for the redundancy. I believe the video in the following link explains everything on the bike. If not, feel free to ask any questions here. I really don’t mind. Thanks for watching. 👍🏻 th-cam.com/video/-Q5yhHiGFdc/w-d-xo.html
Sounds incredible! May I ask what the 8’s are crossed over at? Or tuned at? I have the Soundstream HU and will be using the sub pre out, and just Wanted to get an idea of where to tune it
Technically my speakers are full range speakers, not subs. So I have the crossover bypassed to allow the full range to come through but on the EQ in the DSP I have boosted everything below 100K by 3dB.
Great job,,,,not sure it was worth final results,,,,How are they at 75 mph,,,I've been through a couple of these starter builds and rewards usually aren't up to par,,,,in The Garage great,,,parking lot ok..after 45 mph lost...IMO
No, you’re not too far off. At highway speeds the bass is lost. This is why you focus on the mid bass. You get a lot more out of it before the bass is gone.
If you’re referring to the 6x9’s in the lids, they are sold by V-Twin Audio. vtwinaudio.com/product/vthlk6914-2014-up-6-x-9-lid-speaker-kit/ I had V-Twin install them.
I have had the lids off a couple of times and it looks to me like the hardest part about it would be correctly cutting out the holes for the speaker grills. The rest of it just bolts right in. But like I said I sent mine into V twin and they did it for me. Sorry I can’t be more help on that.
@@jdstuts7749 Thanks. I remember seeing a video about installing those. It was quite a while ago but you might want to look around TH-cam land to see if it’s still around. I’ll snoop around and if I find it I’ll pass it on to ya.
Specs say those speakers can take 500W. I just picked those amps for their size. 150W per speaker is definitely not enough. I keep meaning to upgrade the amps but life is busy.
Oh ya, it’s a night and day difference. I haven’t had it out on the road yet.. cause..well, Canadian winter. So I don’t know how it sounds on the highway. But it sounds damn good in the garage.
@@i.b.lancer I really appreciate all your information, am running 6 6.5 and 2 6X9 in my saddle bags only on one evoX800.4. I’ like to do the dsr1, one more evoX and of course your 8 mid base. Don’t leave any holydays on your painting project 🙃
Ya, good choice. I’m thinking about picking up an evoX800.4 to replace a Rockford I have under the fairing. I don’t need two cause I’m running a Biketronics 2250 and that thing is unbelievably loud.. hitting me in the face. And the amps in the bags are so far working out really good. Audio Control is really good stuff but they don’t really have big power for bikes yet.... so I got two. Lol.
@@i.b.lancer I hear you, you will notice the difference with the sound digital. Changing the subject. Was the dsr1 installation and downloads pretty easy? I tried but I got stuck on the firm update.
Dam bud, awesome job👏 I’ve watched a few of your videos, and , I also follow nvs carlos Rosell nj, I got a 2020 Streetglide With the Rockford Fosgate stage 3, I’m dying to up grade it , interested in supplementing your income? You do awesome work Enjoy the videos 👍👍
It was 8 awg and about a foot long. Pure copper welding cable. I ran it from the battery to the main ground terminal on the bike. I left the stock cable as well, just added one.
The SV200L are a mid bass driver with a Frequency range of 45K to 4,500 Hz. They are not subs. Subs are useless on a motorcycle unless you never leave the parking lot.

Can you get something like this installed at the Sturgis rally?
I’m sorry, I really don’t know.
You could do these and make extra money.
what kind of adaptors are you using for the 6x9 speakers on the lids i like that idea of a small grill towards the front
vtwinaudio.com/product/vthlk6914-2014-up-6-x-9-lid-speaker-kit/
where did you cross these speakers over at if you don't mind me asking.
Being mid bass, they roll off pretty severely at 100Hz. It’s been a while since I’ve been in there and played with that but I’m thinking it was somewhere between 500 Hz and 1K.
Awesome work!!! Question, can you put a link to where you got the soldering tray with the four clamps??
This is it here.. amzn.to/3ckaeYW
Like your videos. Do they make a difference when going down the highway or is the most benefit just at low speeds?
Ya, pretty much lose all the bass going down the Hwy. But it sounds great at lower speeds.
Very good work.
Great video thanks....hey could you tell me the name of that rack mount eq you have in the cabinet its bad ass
No problem. It's actually not an eq. It's a real time analyzer, or some just call it an RTA. That one is a BDS Digital Spectrum Analyzer. Model PP-131.
what brand are the speaker lid adapters, love the front cut out
vtwinaudio.com/product/vthlk6914-2014-up-6-x-9-lid-speaker-kit/
How are the 8s inside the bags performing without sealing the bags or having the lids speakers baffled?
Really well. They sound great.

I have dual hertz Sv 200.1 8 inch in saddlebag facing wheel. Should I run them on the subwoofer output or rear speaker output…
Tough question without knowing what else is in the mix…If you don’t have tour pack speakers then run them off of the rear channel, if you have tour pack speakers, run the 8 inch off of the sub channel and set the crossover “All-pass”. Or don’t.. personal choice.
I’m not not running anything else. Im just just running some Biketronics 7.1 in the front fairings that’s it.
Then definitely run the 8” off the rear channel. So much simpler to work with.
Nice how do you splice your rc cables

What size amp are you running for the 8”
150 watts per speaker.. RMS
@@i.b.lancer is 150 watts rms maxed out with 8”speakers
