Horn-loaded rear-stage projection, 4Ω compatibility — all-weather 6×9" coaxial for motorcycle saddlebag lid positions
The Precision Power HTW.694 is a 6×9" 4Ω horn-loaded coaxial speaker for saddlebag lid and aftermarket 6×9" enclosure positions on Harley-Davidson® and Indian® Touring models. A horn-loaded titanium tweeter provides directional high-frequency output with more forward throw from a low-mounted saddlebag position than a conventional dome can achieve. The 4Ω impedance pairs cleanly with the widest range of aftermarket motorcycle amplifiers — the practical choice for amplified builds where 2Ω loading would overdrive the amplifier's minimum impedance rating. A polypropylene cone with Santoprene surround and ABS/fibreglass basket are built for all-weather riding under Precision Power's Rain or Shine™ design standard. A 6×9" lid kit is required — factory Harley-Davidson® saddlebag lids are not pre-cut for speakers.
The HTW.694 delivers the same horn-loaded tweeter performance as the 2Ω HTW.692 — focused, directional projection that carries high-frequency output from a low-mounted saddlebag position upward and forward to the rider at speed — in a 4Ω configuration compatible with every standard aftermarket motorcycle amplifier. For riders building multi-channel amplified systems where 4Ω operation across all channels ensures clean, stable performance, the HTW.694 is the rear-stage choice.
Who This Is For
Riders installing 6×9" speakers in saddlebag lid kits who are running an amplified system and want horn-loaded rear-stage performance without the 2Ω constraint. The HTW.694 pairs with the HTW.654 for a matched 4Ω horn-loaded front stage. For the 2Ω variant, see the HTW.692. A compatible 6×9" lid kit is required — see the Precision Power HD14.SBS (2014+) or HD13.SBS (1998–2013). For maximum-output rear-stage performance with bi-amp capability, see the MAS.692HT.
What This Is Best For
- Horn-loaded rear-stage projection from saddlebag positions — The horn-loaded tweeter focuses high-frequency output forward from a low-mounted, outward-angled saddlebag position — providing more throw and audibility to the rider at highway speed than a conventional dome can achieve from the same location.
- All-weather construction for saddlebag environments — The Santoprene surround resists moisture, temperature cycling, and road exposure in saddlebag lid installations. The ABS/fibreglass basket handles sustained vibration and UV exposure. Rain or Shine™ weather-resistant construction throughout.
- 4Ω compatibility — the widest amplifier choice — The 4Ω impedance works with every standard aftermarket motorcycle amplifier, making it the practical default for amplified builds — particularly multi-channel systems where consistent 4Ω loads across all channels simplifies amplifier selection and ensures stable long-term operation.
- Compatible with standard 6×9" lid kits — The HTW.694 suits Precision Power HD14.SBS (2014+) and HD13.SBS (1998–2013) saddlebag lid kits, and other aftermarket 6×9" motorcycle saddlebag lid systems. No grilles included — the speaker works within the lid kit's existing surround or grille.
Lid kit required. The HTW.694 is a 6×9" saddlebag speaker — it does not fit into factory Harley-Davidson® standard saddlebag lids without a lid kit. Compatible lid kits include the Precision Power HD14.SBS (2014+) and HD13.SBS (1998–2013).
2Ω variant available. If your amplifier is rated as 2Ω-stable and you want maximum rear-stage output from the same power source, the HTW.692 is the matching 2Ω speaker. Check your amplifier's minimum impedance rating before selecting a variant.
For maximum-output amplified rear stages, the MAS.692HT offers a ring radiator horn construction, 150W RMS handling, and bi-amp capability for premium rear-stage builds.

The Bottom Line
The HTW.694 is the 4Ω horn-loaded rear-stage speaker for amplified builds running standard amplifier configurations. The same forward-projection tweeter and Rain or Shine™ all-weather construction as the HTW.692, in the impedance that works with every aftermarket motorcycle amplifier. Pair with a 6×9" lid kit and a matched front stage for a complete, balanced system.

What's Inside
Horn-loaded titanium tweeter. The HTW.694 uses a titanium tweeter mounted within a horn waveguide that focuses high-frequency output forward from the saddlebag lid position. In a low-mounted, outward-angled saddlebag installation, the straight-line path from speaker to rider is longer than in a fairing position and the surrounding noise floor is higher. The horn geometry concentrates the tweeter's energy toward the rider's position rather than dispersing it sideways — more of what the speaker produces goes where it needs to go. Titanium provides the rigidity and low mass required for clean extended high-frequency response.
Polypropylene cone with Santoprene surround. A polypropylene woofer cone handles midrange and bass, co-moulded with a Santoprene surround. Santoprene is a thermoplastic rubber that maintains its elasticity through the temperature swings and moisture exposure of open-air riding — resisting the degradation that affects foam and rubber surrounds in saddlebag lid installations over time. Consistent surround compliance over the life of the installation maintains the speaker's frequency response and controlled excursion behaviour.
High-output neodymium motor. A neodymium magnet motor delivers high efficiency and force factor in a compact form, keeping mounting depth within the clearance constraints of standard 6×9" saddlebag lid kits while supporting the HTW.694's 92 dB sensitivity.
ABS/fibreglass basket. The glass fibre reinforced ABS basket is dimensionally stable under motorcycle vibration loads, UV-resistant, and unaffected by corrosion in the weathered environment of a saddlebag lid installation. No grilles are included; the HTW.694 is used within the lid kit's existing grille or surround.
Integrated high-pass crossover. An internal crossover network manages frequency distribution between the woofer and horn-loaded tweeter, protecting the tweeter from low-frequency excursion and maintaining tonal balance across the operating range.
Sensitivity and Frequency Coverage
At 92 dB (1W/1m), the HTW.694 delivers strong rear-stage output from standard amplifier power levels. The 60 Hz – 20 kHz frequency response extends lower than the 6.5" HTW.654, reflecting the larger 6×9" cone area and the enclosure volume provided by the saddlebag lid cavity. A high-pass crossover at the amplifier above 60 Hz is recommended to protect the woofer from excessive low-frequency excursion at sustained high volumes.
Why 4Ω
A 4Ω speaker is compatible with the full range of aftermarket motorcycle amplifiers — making it the practical default for amplified builds where the amplifier is not specifically rated for 2Ω loads. For multi-channel systems combining front and rear speakers on a shared amplifier, consistent 4Ω loading across all channels simplifies system design and ensures stable long-term operation. Where 2Ω loading would allow more peak power extraction from a 2Ω-stable amplifier, the HTW.692 is the matching 2Ω variant.
Fitment
The HTW.694 requires a 6×9" saddlebag lid cut-in — it does not fit into factory Harley-Davidson® standard saddlebag lids without a lid kit. Compatible lid kits include Precision Power HD14.SBS (2014+) and HD13.SBS (1998–2013), and other aftermarket 6×9" saddlebag lid systems.
