Fat boy - boom speaker subwoofer?
Hello,
I have a 2018 Fat boy and I have installed HD boom speakers on it, both front and rear. But I am not enjoying the sound of it may be because of the bass. So any advice how can I add subwoofer to my existing boom speaker setup?
Thanks & Regards
Amar

Im sure it can be done but it will be usless over 30 mph as low frequencies get lost in the wind in a hurry. Even a pair of 8-10 midbass get lost over 50 and thats will say 800 watts to each.

No. you cant just add subwoofers to Boom system. You need aftermarket amp and speakers, DSP, and sealed and ports bags for subwoofers.
Its not like adding a subwoofer to stock car audio system. Bikes are a different world.
Youre better off replace all your boom amp and speakers with quality equipment designed for motorcycles.

Theres also the option to add 8's to lower fairings that will give you some good bass up front. But scrapping the boom crap would be a first step. Those systems sound good in the showrrom and thats about it.

cshoker is 100% right. Your best bet is to take a fresh look at the entire system with an understanding of your goals and budget, and how your Fatboy is setup. CaffeineBuzz’s question is completely relevant to understand what options exist for mounting amps and speakers. Do you have a fairing, hard bags, lowers and/or a tour pack? Perhaps a pic of the bike so that we know what we are working with will help along with your goals and budget.
