Subwoofers Built for Touring Motorcycles

Motorcycle subwoofers provide the low-frequency foundation that fairing and lid speakers cannot reproduce on their own. This collection includes purpose-built subwoofer solutions engineered specifically for Harley Davidson and Indian touring motorcycles, where space, enclosure design, and efficiency are critical.

Unlike car subwoofers, motorcycle subwoofers must operate in compact enclosures and contend with wind and exhaust noise, as well as open-air riding conditions. The subwoofers in this collection are selected for high efficiency, controlled excursion, and stable performance when paired with motorcycle-specific amplification.

This collection supports a range of system configurations, including:

  • Saddlebag-mounted subwoofer enclosures
  • Tour pack and chassis-integrated subwoofer solutions
  • Compact subwoofer drivers designed for small-volume enclosures
  • Subwoofers matched to motorcycle monoblock amplifiers

Proper integration is essential for usable bass output. Motorcycle subwoofers require correct enclosure tuning, dedicated amplification, and DSP control to blend seamlessly with fairing and rear speakers without overpowering the system.

All subwoofer solutions in this collection are vetted for touring motorcycle environments and professional installation standards. These products are designed to deliver controlled, musical low-frequency output that remains audible and balanced at highway speeds.

Elite Sounds ES1250 10 inch bagger subwoofer

Motorcycle Subwoofers: 8, 10 or 6x9?

Pick the sub by the space you have:

  • 10": shallow subs like the Ground Zero GZHW-10SPL-D2 FLAT, PRV MT10SW1000-D4 and DB Drive EXFW10NCF, plus the Elite Sounds ES1250, DC Audio Shortie and m3 Level 2. See 10" motorcycle subwoofers.
  • 8": the Ground Zero GZHW-8SPL-D2 FLAT, the PRV MT8SW800-D4 and the Kicker 8" L7S.
  • 6x9: the MMats MBW690. It's a sub, not a lid speaker.

Powering a Bagger Sub and Controlling the Bass

Subs run on a mono amp, and a mono amp is never plug and play. Plan its power run, ground, signal and tune. Wire the sub's voice coils to the load the amp is built for.

Want a complete package? The Rockford Fosgate dual 10" saddlebag kit covers 2014-2023, and the PRV and Ground Zero 10" kits are listed for 1998-Present.

Want bass control at the bars? Bass knobs are in amplifier parts.

More Motorcycle Subwoofers Questions

What size subwoofer fits a Harley saddlebag?

Shallow 8 inch and 10 inch subs are made for it. Measure depth behind the lid and the bag clearance before you order.

Can I put a 6x9 sub in my saddlebag lid?

Not the MMats MBW690, which MMats lists as not for lids. Lid speakers should be 6x9 or 8 inch speakers built for lids.

Do motorcycle subwoofers need their own amp?

Yes. Subs run on a mono amp, and a mono amp is never plug and play.
