Frequently Asked Questions — Motorcycle Audio
Do I need to modify my fairing?
These mount to the inner fairing. Depending on bike/bars/speaker depth, minor trimming may be required for best clearance.
Will my bars hit the pods at full lock?
Many builds are bolt-on. If clearance is tight, pull-back bars or DBC/AF Kustoms bars solve it on most bikes.
Do the pods include speakers or grilles?
No — pods ship without speakers or grilles. We’ll pair the right 8″ drivers and hardware for your goals.
Are they paint-ready?
Yes. They arrive unpainted in NYB polymer. Prep and paint to match your fairing.
What amp power do you recommend?
Typically 150–300W RMS per 8″ mid-bass channel with proper high-pass settings. We’ll spec your amp and tuning based on speakers and goals.
