Default Need more bass......

Hi -

I am looking for suggestions to get more low end out of my audio system. I have a factory HK Head with a Hogtunes amp and speakers on an Ultra. Is there an easy upgrade I can to to get more low end without cutting more holes in the bike or boxes?

TIA,

Mark

Without 6X9's you can't achieve much bass....It can get better, but if you want really good bass, you'll have to incorporate a set of 6X9's into the equation !!

keep in mind (IMO), we are talking P-lot Bass. I got Pioneers in the bag lids and WOW a lot of bass. but at Highway speed bass is "gone". up to 20-30 miles, depending on the music type, I can FEEL the bass in my butt...
