I have helmet speakers/ intercom bluetooth . My wife and I both have G9 headsets. Headset/helmet speakers do not not sound near as good. Maybe a good set of ear buds. I mean a good set will sound pretty nice, but I hate having that wire hooking me up. But even a good set of ear buds will not give the aural sensations that accompany the sound waves from kick drums and snare hits on a good system.
The space in the bags. Well, that might be a real concern for some. It's in only one bag. Unless I am traveling somewhere for a couple days or more, I've got plenty of storage. That's why I went with the micro sub that is removed as quickly as it takes me to open the saddlebag.
As far as bystanders, I have a volume control. And these bikes do have an auto volume control.
As far as bastardizing? That was your word right? I sure hope you have not added or changed anything on your bike.
Was it necessary to do any of the above? No It could be argued very well that these bikes are not necessary. Everything on this forum is superfluous.
With all respect, everyone has their own opinion, but yours comes across a little condescending. The post was shared because I have answered many PMs and have also been in correspondence through e-mails regarding interests. This post endeavored to chronicle some of the paths I went through in accomplishing the goal. Is it for everyone? I'm sure it is not.
I have somewhat of the same setup.

Kicker - Hideaway 8" in the saddle bag,

I drilled a piece of wood to the inside if the bag and velcro the sub to the wood. I used the kit that came with the sub.


Kicker - CS44 4" on top of the bags with a Rockford Fosgate Power T400x2,

I also used the Frogzskins Square, 6" x 6". I opened the back part of the bags. under the tail lights.

Stock front speakers.
