Default Subwoofer

Just wondering if anyone put small subwoofers on there bike?
Where did you mount them? What amp running then ect?
Pics would be nice also.
Also I have pipes on the loud side so would I even hear them?

Small subs are practical in the parking lot but not so much for those of us who actually ride our bikes on a regular basis. If you have loud pipes like me and many others here you want your sound system LOUD and CLEAR as most of the bass notes will be lost going down the road anyway.

For that reason we recommend a nice set (or two) of 6x9's in the lids or facing the wheel. What you hear on a bike going down the road is the high's and the midrange.

That said. It's to each his own. If you want subs on your bike. I say go for it!!

Not really... there are sub kits for 10's in the bags if you don't care about losing space... American Hard Bag has a nice setup... just an option thrown at ya
