Custom made Subwoofer Spyder RT Limited
Friend of mine has recently improved sound on his spyder by mounting this custom made subwoofer.
What you think? It plays like a hell, but also it makes him go much slower because of the wind turbulence )))
Too much?????

Yep, too much!
He'd make a much better noise by pulling the air intake plumbing off the front end of the air cleaner & just listening to the induction noise!! And the Spyder wouldn't loose quite so much speed either!

Way to much If he wanted more bass what not mount them to the side bags or panels. Kinda like the Harley group does.
I would be afraid of damage to the rear trunk cover with all that resistance.

box
workmanship looks very nice!
not much on the size and looks tho'
Keep on with the "out of the box" ideas - very interesting!,

Gotta say....
that is a lot to put on the rear trunk lid. With the rack above it don't know how long it will all hold together. As stated there are other places to put it and with all that he probably rydes alone so how about the rear seat....

Model #'s, i'm assuming they where marine grade?
How bad was the changeover ?
Was there any massaging to the Spyder to make them fit?
Thank you
Come on Mike fess up. Of course everything is relative, what Mike states was easy requires almost a miracle for most of us to accomplish.

I bought JBL GTO, 528 ...+ JBL- 508c ..... both are 5.25in the fronts are the same as OEM ..... the rear are a bit larger than OEM - but the ( rear ) OEM's are larger than normal ... so getting the 5.25's in wasn't difficult .... " Beadaholic " ( Laura ) did them and she posted Video's on Her " Laura's MODs page " ....... these aren't so called " marine grade " .... the jbl's have Polymer cones which are waterproof though ! - plastic doesn't absorb anything ........ Mine have been in since 2014 and NO issues at all ...Massaging ?? look at Her video & pics ... TIP #1 - the rear speaker hole needs to enlarged to 4 & 5/8th in..... which is ONLY a little bigger than the OEM hole .......... TIP #2 ... make a template ( circle ) of a 4 5/8th dia. size ... put this on the OEM hole and trace it ....that's the hole you will to get the 5.25 speaker in ..... a few people here have done this after reading my posts about it ......... Mike

Thinking outside the box huh? Try putting it inside the rear center compartment.

Shopping today for upgrade 5.25" 3 way speakers. Like I said, easy peasy job.
Thank you Mike for the info!!
CAUTION : not all speakers are the same. I chose the JBL's because they are ...2 ohms of resistance ....( aren't effected by water either ) I'm super busy right now ...so I can't give a long technical reason for the 2 ohms ...... check E-bay for the ones I mentioned above ... you might not be able to get 528's , but the 508c is actually better..... the whole " 3 way thing " is mostly HYPE ...almost no one can tell the difference from the " 1 way speakers " ....
