Sounds good parked but disappears once you’re moving? That’s the motorcycle problem.
Maybe you want a clean touring upgrade. Maybe you want it loud at road speed. Maybe you are building bags, fairing, DSP, electrical and a competition system. The harder the bike has to play, the more speaker efficiency, aiming, amplifier power, charging support and tuning matter. We build around how you actually ride it.
A touring bike and a competition bike should not get the same answer.
These bikes show why speaker count is only part of the story.
Harley · Vault NA20The bike started. The amplifier still cut off.The battery was enough to crank the bike but not enough to support the audio demand. That is an electrical problem, not a speaker problem.
Harley · CicadaRR3T 6×9s in 8-inch lids.The speaker and the lid did not naturally match, so the fitment was modified and finished with custom acrylic instead of forcing the wrong part into the hole.
MMATS · MosconiBig power needs processing and electrical behind it.MMATS amplification, Mosconi Atomo processing and a Limitless Nano HD battery were part of the same system plan.
CompetitionFirst-place result at the Grand Finale Car Show.Freddy's motorcycle audio layout was built and installed at SMS before the documented first-place competition result in Houma.Wind and road noise do not care how good it sounded in the parking lot.
- Fairing depth and grille openings limit driver fitment.
- Aiming determines whether output reaches the rider or projects past them.
- Lids, lowers and tour-pack speakers need level and crossover control so they work together.
- Weather, vibration, heat and wash water affect products and wiring.
- The charging system sets the long-term amplifier power budget.
- Crossovers protect speakers from wasting power on frequencies they cannot reproduce efficiently.
First tell us how the bike is ridden. Then we decide how much system it needs.
- 01Define the ride.
Bike, normal speed, fairing and lid setup, existing equipment and desired output.
- 02Check fitment and aiming.
Depth, grille opening, weather exposure and where the driver points affect useful output.
- 03Match power to charging.
Battery, charging voltage, cable, fusing, grounds and amplifier current are checked together.
- 04Cross over and tune it.
Level, crossover, EQ, delay and phase are set after the installation and electrical are right.
Hear and see the systems in the bikes they were actually built for.
Tell us how you ride and what happens to the sound once you get moving.
Year, make, model, current radio, speakers, amplifiers, fairing and lid layout, normal riding conditions and how loud you want it are enough to start.
