Hertz MPS 250 S2 – Ultra-Shallow 10″ 2-Ohm Subwoofer for Harley Touring
The Hertz MPS 250 S2 is a premium ultra-shallow 10″ subwoofer engineered for riders who want big, controlled bass performance in the smallest possible space. With only 82.6 mm mounting depth, a 2-ohm voice coil, and 500 W RMS power handling, this is the ideal sub for Tour-Paks, saddlebag drop-in boxes, and compact sealed enclosures on Harley-Davidson® Touring bikes.
Who This Is For
- Harley-Davidson Touring riders adding bass where mounting depth is the limit, such as Tour-Paks and saddlebag drop-in boxes.
- Builds using a small sealed enclosure of 12–14 litres rather than a large box that eats your storage space.
- Riders who want stronger low-end that supports the fairing and rear speakers without muddying vocals.
- Systems running a mono amplifier able to deliver at least 300 W RMS, with 400–600 W RMS ideal.
- Not a drop-in on its own: it needs a sealed enclosure, and high-power systems may require upgraded charging or secondary battery support.
Key Features
- Ultra-shallow 82.6 mm design fits where traditional subs cannot.
- 2-ohm single voice coil maximises power from modern motorcycle mono amps.
- 500 W RMS / 1000 W peak for high-output bass performance.
- High-excursion design delivers strong low-end in very small enclosures.
- Optimised for sealed boxes commonly used in motorcycle applications.
- Die-cast aluminium basket for strength in high-vibration environments.
Why It Works on Harleys
- Fits tight spaces like Tour-Paks and saddlebag sub chambers.
- 2-ohm design pairs perfectly with strong motorcycle mono amps (e.g., Hertz SP1.900).
- Small sealed box performance gives real bass without sacrificing all your storage space.
- Strong low-end extension supports fairing and rear speakers without muddying vocals.
