8", 10" & 12" Speakers
Large-Format 8, 10 and 12 inch Speakers for Harley-Davidson
Large-format 8, 10 and 12 inch drivers are for custom enclosure builds on Harley-Davidson Touring and trike models. Standard Harley Touring speaker positions generally do not provide a direct-fit opening for a driver this size, so any large-format install needs a purpose-built enclosure: a modified saddlebag, a Tour-Pak or trunk box, or a custom sealed or ported chamber. These drivers provide greater cone area and displacement for stronger mid-bass or deeper low-frequency output than conventional fairing speakers can typically deliver, and they are the foundation of a serious bass or SPL build.
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.
Why You'll Love It
- Greater output and displacement: 8, 10 and 12 inch drivers move more air for stronger mid-bass or deeper low end than conventional fairing speakers typically deliver.
- Mid-bass and subwoofer options: Cicada CMB and CXXM mid-bass drivers and Hertz subwoofers for saddlebag, Tour-Pak and trunk builds.
- Built for custom enclosures: drivers suited to sealed and ported chambers in a modified bag, Tour-Pak or trunk, with the structural support and sealing a large driver needs.
- Impedance-matched: options to suit a strong mono or multi-channel amplifier.
- Hardware to match: Cicada saddlebag rings, templates and aero ports mount and tune an 8 or 10 inch driver correctly.
FAQ
Can I fit an 8, 10 or 12 inch driver in a factory position?
Not directly. Standard Harley positions generally do not provide a direct-fit opening for a driver this size, so it needs a purpose-built enclosure, such as a modified saddlebag, a Tour-Pak or trunk box, or a custom sealed or ported chamber.
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 amplifier and DSP options 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.
