J-Lane Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 This was one of the wierder boxes I have done and my first time ever glassing so I thought I would share some pics. A friend of mine has a motorcyle that he takes to shows and he wanted to make his sounds as loud as possible. I haven't seen the ride in person but I have seen some pics and it's pretty bad ass looking. He said he has six other speakers up front but he wanted more. He wanted me to install two 7x10" speakers per bag. After looking at it I decided two just werent gonna fit so I talked hime into one per bag. I couldnt find any T/S info on the speakers so I decided to go with a sealed enclosure since I wasn't sure I would have any room (or specs) to do a port. The way he wanted the speakers installed was to have them facing into the rear wheel well. I'm not sure how this is going to sound when he gets them installed but it's how he wanted it so I got started... Side view of one of the bags... Created a cutout of MDF and wrapped it in mesh. I knew I wouldn't be able to mount the speakers from the front of the baffle so I use some t-nuts so I could mount the speaker from the backside of the baffle with machine screws. Applied some glass... Found out why people like useing felt instead of glass mesh (glass mesh is a pain in the ass!). Also installed a brace just to help keep the outer wall of the bag from flexing. Applied more glass and did a test fit... Made a trim piece so speaker can be removed at a later time (allows for speaker replacement because of damage etc...) Wrapped felt over the top and removed excess. Glassed some more... Bondo time (never done bondo before either so don't laugh)... View of the bags before they get sent out for paint. I know it's kind of a strange setup but this is how he wanted them set up. Did a quick test to see how they sound before he has them painted (note: the speaker wire location is temporary. We will be relocating it after it is mounted to the bike.) I have to say they actually didn't sound half bad. It doesn't have much in the low end but to be honest I didn't think they would. The bass however is extreemly solid and has a good kick to it and is not boomy sounding like I expexted them to be. I will give an update and hopefully some more photos after they are painted and mounted to the bike (curious if it is going to sound like crap once mounted on the bike firing towards eachother).

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.

He said that the bike is way louder than the stereo so he wouldn't be useing them when he is riding. It's just for useing at shows. @ Noelito & Smoove - Thanks!
