Sorry but that's opinion.

You guys are getting hosed.

not all of you but most.
Looking forward to seeing what your solution here is Shore. Got to be something better and cheaper than this bike specific gear, without giving up all your bagger space and being waterproof...right? Let us know what you come up with.

I think you're thinking about something else. That kenwood(15-3/4"W x 3-11/16"H x 9-1/16"D) and a few others should easily fit in the bag. There is an easy 11"x6"x19" in there without getting into the lid space and corners.

Securing it might be tricky because of the shock hump.

Been thinking about this myself. I got the 7.25 and was expecting more base. After I got rid of the HK radio and replaced it with a Sony it dose sound better. You can adjust the tin can sound out of it. Base and whole sound sounds great setting still, but as soon as I fire up the motor the base is lost. Not sure if I want to do the 6x9's or something like you are talking about. Let us know if you like it I might have to follow in your footsteps.

I have been eyeballing those for a couple yrs. My location of choice would be under the tourpack or inside the tour pack on the front wall.

Has anyone spent the money on this Boss unit yet?
Let me know how it worked out.
thanks,

You could probably velcro it to the outer wall of your bag.
I've been thinking about this too, but I would rather you spend your money first.

If a powered sub was put into a saddlebag without a good sized port, all you would hear is the saddlebag rattling.

I'm revisiting this theory again.

The BOSS unit has horrible reviews.

The Lanzar is getting favorable ones. The Kenwood KSC-SW10 seems to be the one. It should fit. 14x4x8.

I mean the whole thing is to get the low end the fairing won't supply. $150 and you can add this little powered sub easily and be done with it.

How the sound travels inside the bag is the issue. If you have to go as far as making ports in the bag, it might not be worth it.

another thought, a dedicated purpose built 6 1/2 inch sub in a saddlebag lid run with 2 channels bridged and crossedover. wont be thunderous deep but should sound really clean without giving up any space.
