10" Sub and 6 X 9 in same bag?
I searched and could not find the answer. I am building a new system for the new bike (Limited) and have some good stuff coming out of my old bike that I would like to use. I have Hertz 6 X 9s I am very happy with and I would like to run those in the lids again, I would also like to run a 10" Sub in one bag. Is there a easy way to prevent the 10" from pushing the 6 X 9? Seems like either the 10 or 6 X 9 would have to be enclosed? And what 10" sub would be recommended?

I assumed both the 10 and 6 X 9 will fit in the same bag. Was worried about the pressure from the 10 pushing the 6 X 9. Was not sure if porting was enough relief. Don't want the (2) 6 X 9s (Other bag with no sub) firing different from internal bag pressure from the sub. Or am I over thinking it?

Thats why you have to seal your bag. And since you want to run a sub, theres no point if your bag isnt sealed.
Now if your were going to run a mid bass driver, then you wouldnt have to seal bag. And you could use a baffle on the 6x9 to separate air space.
I also wouldnt recommend doing just one side. If your gonna go through all the trouble to put a sub in your bag, I would suggest doing both bags.
Im going to bet you would be greatly disappointed if you put 1 sub in 1 unsealed bag. You wont get what your looking for

What do you mean by "sealing" the bag? Does sealing mean enclosing the 10? I can only do one bag, see I am married, and she has to bring the house everywhere we go, LOL. Adding one sub will give me more then I had before with no sub. I had LOUD, just not enough base.

FYI, you will lose that bass after about 30mph being it's a sub and just one. Will be even soon if the bag isn't sealed.
This is one option: https://garagebaggerstereo.com/colle...-removablepair

Thanks for the link, I was thinking something along those lines would be required. I have built plenty of car audio, and done boxes with speakers and subs in them. Bikes seem a little different since open air and speaker locations. However I did not think I would lose the sub at 30, I assumed 45 to 50 MPH, hence why I need the 6 X 9s, because I can hear those on my current bike clearly at 100MPH.
I cannot make the bike a rolling stereo and load both bags with stereo, we tour with the bike. So we need storage also. I will have to get what I get with one bag subwoofer or forget the subwoofer. My current bike has 8 speakers, all good ****, Beyma's, Hertz, PRV, 3 Amps, is freaking really loud. But I want more bass this time..
I just sold some Solo Baric L7 12s, maybe I should have kept one!

Compression drivers and horns, do not require the 10" driver to be sealed to achieve what you are looking for. As well as there isn't a cone that the 10" driver would interfere with!!! Ask more questions and we can help more. This all if you are trying to use a STOCK bag.

Thanks Suave, I have pretty much decided the 10 is not going to give me what I was hoping for. Was just hoping to get more base. But my current system in my 2003 doesn't suck. Beyma's in lowers, Hertz SPL 6.5 in fairing, PRV 6.5 neo in tour pack,, Hertz 6 x 9 in lids, 3 Diamond 600 Amps. Alex tuned it, It's freaking loud and clear. I will probably pull everything out and throw the Hog Tunes **** back in that bike for sale. 2003 isn't going to bring $4k more with the sound system.
On another note, I see you have a Road Glide with Beyma 6CX200Nd/N, I have those coming out of my old bike. Do you know if they will fit the fairing or the lowers on a Ultra Limited?

Trust me 2 FaitalPro 10RS350's @670 watts each/ported will hit hard even when riding. If you are looking for deep bass past 60-80MPH then forget it, I think those low frequencies just get lost at those speeds from wind and exhaust note. I'm not too certain on that though, I've never had subs in a sealed bag at any speed. As far as feeling the bass @60-90MPH, you will still feel them if you go with the Faital's with a ton of power going to them!!!
