Vaquero rear speakers
Finally took the plunge and cut up the saddlebags on my 2011. I figured with 60K, why not. Prior to this, I had been adding speakers to my helmets and even fabbed up an enclosure to go the rear seat for my trips. Only did 200 miles with the new speaks, but really like it. I used the same 5 1/4's that I have in the dash, Infinity's. I thought about 6 1/2's, but they looked too big for my tastes. I wasnt keen on the adapters.

Question - Confused

Maybe rain covers? Never ride in rain? (like that has never worked for me). Not trying to downplay the mod cause it looks great and probably sounds even better - but my engineering mind asks questions like this. (It's a curse my wife has learned to live with) |

My plan was to take along the waterproof bags that came with my nelson riggs soft luggage. They resemble a large heavy duty shower cap with elastic. Fit over the bags perfectly. They're not marine speakers, but I'm not sure what "marine" speakers are anyway. No paper products?

marine grade anything is just water resistant not water proof, in most cases its a coating to resist corrosion.

Bet they sound great with the saddlebag to reflect in. Any reason you went with rounds instead of 6X9's ?

Fit and finish mostly. I could get away without adapters with the 5 1/4's. I was able to relieve the sides of the grill covers to follow the contour of the bags so there wouldnt be much of a gap. Anything larger and adapters or custom glass work would have to be used.
They sound great up to about 40. Then theyre ok up to about 60. Then theyre gone above that, but the fronts still sound great. The biggest improvement to the sound (IMHO) is the bagger shield (12"). Been looking at that small Clarion amp...
