FAQ
What do the sealed baffles do?
A sealed 6x9 baffle creates a rigid, controlled chamber behind the lid speaker. It is especially useful when the same saddlebag also contains an 8 or 10 inch woofer, because it isolates the 6x9 and leaves most of the bag volume available for the larger driver. Confirm that the baffle volume suits the speaker being used.
Do the covers affect sound?
Hydrophobic covers and screens add weather resistance while being designed to minimise acoustic loss.
What size do I need?
Match the cover, screen or baffle to your speaker size, 5x7, 6.5 or 6x9, and your position. Confirm the exact fitment on each product.
What is the fairing speaker adapter for?
It adapts a factory fairing opening to take a different speaker size, such as a 5.25 to 6.5 inch step-up. On 1998 to 2013 fairings a 6.5 inch speaker commonly needs an adapter ring and a depth check, while a 6.5 inch speaker built for the 2014 to 2023 batwing or 2015 to 2023 Road Glide fairing usually mounts in the original housing. Check the adapter against your fairing.
