You see the size of that bass port? It's a little big I think, but that is basically what it takes. Personally, I am not super excited about turning my tour pak into what amounts to a speaker enclosure.
A powered marine sub woofer under the tour pak is an interesting idea though. When I was thinking of ways to port the tour pak without turning it into a water magnet, the idea of porting out the bottom came to mind and this would work similarly.
I think were all nuts. I'd love it but there just ain't no way to get bass on a bike like in a car. There is no real-estate on a bike to install anything in any kind of substantial enclosure to replicate any kind of bass that we are use to in a house or a car. If there was don't ya think............................yadda yadda
Came across your thread and just thought I would chime in.
I know you probably don't want to hear from a Beemer owner , but I have installed a sub on my bike with very good results. I went for the Kicker 6 1/2" and the Rockford Fosgate Amp and it a great combination.
I am lucky enough to be able to mount it under my seat using the tool box tray as an enclosure . Not exactly factory spec's but whilst doing the ton I can hear the bass ( and also feel it )
All in All I have 4 tweets , 4 Mid range 4" and the sub . It is run by a Clarion Marine Head unit and I think what really gives this system the punch is the Clarion EQ ( $50 ) and the Clarion Crossover ( $70 ) . The Amps are really cheap Pyle 4 channels ( x 2 @ $50 ). I am on a really tight budget , but for $600 I got a system that I thinks holds up against the 5k I have heard. And coming to a set of lights next a HD with loud pipes and I then crank up some Clash .. and the look on his face when he can't hear his bike over mine ... Priceless.
