Bass & Mid-Range Drivers
Mid-Bass and Midrange Drivers for Harley-Davidson Touring
A dedicated mid-bass or midrange driver can provide more output and control in its intended band than asking one coaxial to reproduce the entire range, when correctly filtered and amplified. In a multi-way build, a midrange handles the vocal and instrument band while a mid-bass adds punch and impact lower down, freeing the other drivers to do their own jobs. These are the drivers for a system that goes beyond a simple coaxial swap toward a tuned, multi-way front stage or a full-range build.
This collection carries dedicated midrange drivers such as the Hertz SV SPL midrange, mid-bass drivers including the Cicada CM and CMB families in 6.5, 6x9, 8 and 10 inch, and matched component kits. Run a mid-bass or midrange from a filtered amplifier channel or a correctly designed passive crossover so it only sees its intended band, and match the impedance to your amplifier.
What to Know Before You Choose
- More control in the band: can provide more output and control in its intended band than one coaxial across the full range, when correctly filtered and amplified.
- Fills out the sound: mid-bass adds the punch and weight that gives music its foundation.
- Full size range: mid-bass drivers in 6.5, 6x9, 8 and 10 inch, plus SPL midrange drivers.
- Runs filtered: driven from a filtered amp channel or a correctly designed passive crossover for its band.
- Australian stock and support: local stock, warranty handling and advice based on Australian Harley builds.
FAQ
Do I need a dedicated mid-bass or midrange?
Not for a basic upgrade. A coaxial reproduces these bands well for most riders. A dedicated driver is for a multi-way build where you want more output and control in that band.
Midrange or mid-bass?
A midrange focuses on the vocal and instrument band, while a mid-bass adds output and impact lower down. Both are listed here, alongside the 8 and 10 inch drivers and subwoofers used for the lowest band.
How is it wired?
Run the driver from an actively filtered amplifier or DSP channel, or from a passive crossover specifically designed for that driver, impedance and crossover point. Not every generic passive crossover is safe or appropriate.
Will it fit a factory position?
It depends on the driver and your bike. The larger 8 and 10 inch mid-bass drivers usually need a purpose-built saddlebag enclosure. Confirm the size and mounting.
