Where can you fit an 8, 10 or 12 inch speaker on a Harley?
This collection brings together 8, 10 and 12 inch mid-bass drivers and subwoofers from Cicada Audio, Precision Power and Hertz. Match the driver to your enclosure design and amplifier, since a large-format driver depends on the right enclosure volume, porting, structural support and power to perform, and on the bag capacity you are willing to give up. For the saddlebag hardware that mounts and ports an 8 or 10 inch mid-bass driver, see the Cicada saddlebag install hardware.
FAQ
Can I fit an 8, 10 or 12 inch driver in a factory position?
Not in a standard factory opening. An 8 inch speaker commonly goes in a custom build, a speaker saddlebag lid or a lower fairing, and sometimes the Tour-Pak. 10 and 12 inch drivers generally need a purpose-built enclosure, such as a modified saddlebag, a Tour-Pak or trunk box, or a custom sealed or ported chamber. Trikes have no saddlebags, so trike builds use the trunk.
What is the difference between a mid-bass driver and a subwoofer?
A mid-bass driver fills the punch between the front speakers and deep bass, while a subwoofer handles the lowest frequencies. Many Harley builds use an 8 or 10 inch mid-bass in the saddlebags and a sub in a Tour-Pak or trunk box.
What amplifier do these need?
A strong mono or multi-channel amplifier sized to the driver and enclosure. See the amplifiers and match the power to your build.
How do I mount an 8 or 10 inch in a saddlebag?
Use the Cicada saddlebag install hardware, which provides the rigid ring, cutting template and aero port. See the Cicada saddlebag hardware.
