speaker up grade and sub

[Jimmytee]

Yeah those Frogzskins are really cool. I first learned of them when I was shopping for potential speaker options for my Valkyrie. There are speaker kits for Harley bags ( I have Road King Classic bags on my Valkyrie) that listed a screen product called Frogzskin to keep out water. A simple Google revealed that they are designed for snowmobiles and personal watercraft to vent air intakes etc... The product comes in many shapes and sizes. It also can be bought as just the material. The pre shaped ones ,like the circles I bought, are basically peel and stick and can conform to corners etc... Pretty cool.

Yes, this sub hits hard. It's hard to believe all that bass is coming from just a 6.5" driver. I have decided , though, that I am going to line the left bag with some Dynamat sound deadening material. On really heavy bass material and high volume, the bag begins to have a slight rattle. Nothing really bad, but the sound deadening material should eliminate it. Going on a ride today.Will test it out while riding. Suppose to be high of 55.

Nice job. Personally, I'm not ready to lose a bag for a sub, but I'm sure it rocks.
Good on you.

That's the thing. The sub is removed in about as long as it take you to open the saddlebag. If I need the space, voila

So it winter in cali
...
i changed the front speakers to polk audio db 651 s from amazon
...

Did you have to modify anything to get the 6.5" speakers to fit (cut speaker grill, shroud, other)?

Also, how deep are the speaker wells (will they accommodate larger/deeper magnets)?

TIA

the polks were a nightmare to fit,and have since gone in the thrash,instead i am now running Rockford fosgate r 16-s speakers
dropped in and fit nice,and a big step up in performance
