ok i finished up getting the rear speakers in the bags today. wasn't to terrible of a job to do so then i shot this little video. the audio on this cam sucks though, does not give the bike justice.

Congrats......did u quick disconnect the rear speakers ??

Which Pioneers did you put in the bags ??

 

That sounds Damn Good!

 

i put Pioneer TS-A1684R 6.5" up in the fairing & Pioneer TS-A6994R 6x9's in the bags. i can quick disconnect them but i want to put a small plug on them. i was trying to find a small trailer light plug but the only ones i could find at wally world were 4 plug ones.

 

Sounds good!
I have the hogtunes tweeter pod on mine as well - The amount of clarity it adds to the sound is astounding!

 

Nice! : )

 

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but...........those Pioneers historically fail under these conditions.

The problem with them is: the plastic bracket that holds those 4 little speakers is kind of heavy, and after miles of shaking/ bumps/ etc,...........they break off.

Had the same thing happen with the Pioneer 6902 . I just snapped off the tweeter, and kept going. These 6 X 9's are mainly for bass anyways.

I've had to replace 2 of mine so far.

I guess most of these 6 X 9's get mounted horizontal where they wouldn't have the weight of the tweeter pulling all the time.

That being said,.........a 2 way speaker usually works better in the saddlebag, since you are only looking for it to produce lows.

If the bass wasn't the best I've heard on the 6902's, ( and the price wasn't so cheap ), I'd look for another option.

Maybe you'll have better luck !! I sure hope so !

 

mine arent hooked up right now, i unhooked them the other day when i ran mine Pioneers up in the fairing. but i am thinking about changing my 6.5's out already to a set made by American Bass. a friend of mine owns a speaker shop & i was down there yesterday when he got a few of them in. he hooked up this 10" mid range just to a radio with no amp & this thing was killer. the sounds pumping out of it was crystal clear & could be heard from a great distance. i told him to order me 4 of the 6.5's. 2 of them for the bike & the other 2 are gonna go into the doors of my Vette.

if you get a chance check them out, i think you would be pleased with the sound quality, & NO i am not getting a kickback from the sale of any...lol

 

well i had both sets of speakers recommended to me by a friend who owns his own audio shop, so we'll see what happens. as far as pricing they were pretty cheap, i got them off of amazon. but thanks for the heads up, i'll run them for a couple of weeks then pull them out & check them.
