Pyle used to be great (late 80's) but went to hell sometime after. Those small, powered subs are usually marginal, at best, regardless of who makes them, and that is in a car.
Putting any sort of sub on a bike is going to be tough. With no 'cockpit' they lack modal reinforcement, so it will take a lot of driver, and a lot of power (think outdoor concert). Further, the 'bass' you are hearing, from concerts, or even from cars driving by, is actually at a farily high frequency, and is more from harmonics created by the sub, than actual sub bass.
I think you'd be much better served with a farily high powered, properly enclosed mid bass...something playing from 80-100hz to around 500 hz. This would fill in nicely with the smallish speakers in the fairing. Since the higher the frequency, the more directional the sound, getting these in the fairing, perhaps firing in toward the forks, would work well. Part of my winter project list includes a serious stereo study of my 08 glide.
