Yes!! I installed it next to the 7th fetzer valve and greased the ball bearings really really well.

Kidding of course. WTF is a speaker resonator?

Is that like the transducer they used to put in home theatre seats to make them shake during explosions, gun shots, car crashes etc.

Yep tried that a while back. There’s enough air space to put two speakers in a bag and still port the bag.

Even the high out put radiators couldn’t provide the volume needed compared to two speakers. I tried it in a set of bags and a tourpack and wasn’t impressed enough to try more options.

That is what i was afraid of.......takes a lot of calculating to get them right with the space provided........but they do sound good when correct.....like a JBL EXTREME. Thanks
