Rear Speakers

[Jimmytee]

If you add speaker pods, check out June's Upholstery 6.5" pods. This is what Biketronics uses/resells. I think they make different versions for different styles of tour paks. The HogTunes pods are more expensive and won't work with 6.5" speakers.

I'll keep them in mind. As you can imagine, I've done a bit of searching and found pods to fit 7.7" speakers if I choose...
I've also pondered on some tour pack /trunks with molded in speaker enclosures. Regardless, I've got some time. Not going to do anything until next winter.

Biketronics puts their 7.1" Titan II's (rebadged HATs) in them. http://www.biketronics.com/bt474-7-1...t-for-98-2013/



June's are thicker/deeper and don't resonate like the stock pods.

I haven't seen any 7.7" pods except for the aluminum ones similar (from bulletline.com) to what you are running now.

I may have been wrong, it might have been 7.1" here is one place I've seen.http://www.eglidegoodies.com/id88.html

So I was investigating or putting together a possible audio solution for a friend. Coming up with an alternative to the conventional handlebar mounted stereo systems out there. SO I jumped the gun and bought these Kicker Marine enclosures. They were on Ebay for a buy it now price of $179 with a "Make an Offer" tab. I put in $100 and bam, they were mine. I thought man I should have offered less. SO I got the enclosures and found these JBL GTO 429 speakers that were $95 everywhere else, I got them for $56. My friend wasn't interested in the upgrading right now, so I figured what the hay.

Im adding speaker pods to my chopped pak, hopefully this week (bike in shop for recall). I bought mine from Junes Upholstery, there pretty much the only people out there making them for the chopped pak. They cost me $160 shipped to my door, the fit and finish is fantastic, they do indeed take a 6.5" speaker.

Eglide may be making them also but they will not allow you to call them so I won't do business with them.

Here are some pics before the install.

I have seen that site before as well when searching for pods.

The picture of their 7.1 kit (SP-74) appears to be June's pods and Biketronic's 7.1" (HAT) speakers and BT's branded speaker grills.

They don't come right out and say it, but their specs are identical to Biketronics as well as the picture.



Some of their other sets look familiar as well, but from different suppliers.

If you didn't already have a JL sub, ...

Who knows, if I decide to do a tour pack.

Here is the dual sub thread:

V-twin Audio Vttps2, Harley Stereo Chopped Tour-pak Sub Box For Two 8" Subs on 2040-parts.com

I have seen these, ...

but think the subs in the box are more suitable:

So for those that are interested, I got the Kenwood amp at my door today. Not wanting to wait until it was all installed properly,I hooked the amp up temporarily. I also just wanted to be sure it was worth the effort of mounting and wiring up. Well, I'm pretty pleased with it. It really made those 4" speakers come alive.

I'm telling you , if you got a bike with no fairing and want tunes on it ,these speakers and amp combo will simply kick butt over any of those handlebar stereo kits, HANDS DOWN.
That is why I originally looked into these speakers. I was going to put together some real jams for a friends Valkyrie Tourer. He has one of those chintzy handlebar systems with extravagant wattage claims in the stratosphere. He has had it for awhile and it has some issues anyways.
