Adding a sub to a stereo system
Has anyone ever thought of adding a sub to their aftermarket stereo system. I quickly looked on Crutchfield and they have a 5 1/4" component sub. I was wondering of putting it in one side of the rear speakers on an Ultra. Just trying to bounce ideas.

5 1/4 ?? BIG waste of time. Unless you are going to use something like a 10" or larger, you're wasting your time.
You'll like the sound of a quality, highly amplified 6 X 9 better.

Really?
I always heard that at speed alot of sound drowns out so I was thinking of a sub, but a decent 6x9 with sound good?
I am looking at the HD lids on their website but it looks like they are already pre drilled for Boom speakers? I wonder how the fitment would be with a spkr other than the Boom?

I think that Carl has said that Hybrid is in the process of making a 'drop-in' speaker for the Harley lids.
That would be worth the wait !!
You are correct,..........at speed, you will lose a lot of the sound that is made in the bags. However, the passenger would benefit more from the Harley lids, due to the angle of the speaker.
Good luck with whatever you choose !
