Scared to cut your saddle bag lids to add 6x9's cut kits to your Harley Davidson®? Watch this video!

[@ryanm8456]

If you are scared to cut in your 6x9’s don’t be. I Just purchased this kit a week ago with my 6 speaker set up with the 1,000 watt amp. All I can tell you is this was one of the easiest things I have done. Jay’s Step by Step instructs made this install easy. I couldn’t believe how precise the cut kit is. I had both bags lids cut out in less than 45 minutes. Following the instruction in the video from Jay, I the speakers installed in no time flat. Purchasing the plug and play kit was definitely the best choice. I couldn’t believe how clean the look is running all the wires from the amp and head unit. My wife even commented that it was even a clearer look under the seat. Don’t look anywhere but Volunteer audio for your audio solutions for your bike. I couldn’t believe the sound difference in my system going from a Rockford Fosgate Stage two system to the Volunteer Audio plug and play 6 speaker system. Simply Amazing. Jay you and your team are awesome. Thank you for making this so easy. God Bless. Also, that you for the book that came with my plug and play kit.

Thank you so much for writing this review! We are so glad you are happy with your new system! God bless!

I cut my lids myself a bit nervous but once I screwed in the templet I knew I was committed and followed Volunteer Audio video and whaaa laaaaa a perfect cut and fit. Thank you Jay, great system I bought from you. James from Myrtle Beach

Thank you so much James!

Where does the rain/water go?

[@volunteeraudio]

@@jerryp8990 sits on top of the water proof speaker, if much gets on it simply open the lid to dump it out

[@jerryp8990]

@@volunteeraudio makes sense. Thanks!

[@james6275]

@@jerryp8990 If you follow the instructions the rain water does not go inside the lid is sealed its very good, it sits ontop of speaker. If you are planning to this Take your time cutting the lids no rush

I just cut my lids a few days ago and I think I did a good job. 🤞🏾

[@ladubose1656]

It’s a Hertz cut kit

Just purchased my radio today I’m excited ,next i need the hertz amp ….great video keep them coming,God bless

Thank you so much!

[@droclevelandoh8842]

Now that I purchased the radio can I eliminate the biketronic line level and connect the rca straight to the back of radio ? Again I love your videos you do great job explaining and showing us sorry my question is not about this video

[@volunteeraudio]

@@droclevelandoh8842 we suggest going high level input when available, what amp are you using?

Rockford fosgate 400

I came across this to get a better idea of side bag audio installs.. Bought a used ultra low & noticed after a good bike wash.. it’s leaking.. Hope the dealer can assist 🤞 too bad previous owner didn’t use this system/team 🤦‍♂️

[@volunteeraudio]

@@reaper2478 good luck, thank you for watching

Fantastic video

[@volunteeraudio]

Thank you!

[@VTG63]

Thks for the videos Jay, how long before they release a 2024 RG rear bag cut out, new bags are $$$$

[@volunteeraudio]

No eta as they are still in development

[@dukeanmc]

Nice Video. Thx for that. Question. Does it matters which side of the speaker is facing front of the Bike ? I saw the + and - connector shows to the back of the Bike. Would it not be a shorter Cable if they wear facing to front ? Sorry for my English, German here. Thx again for your Video.

[@volunteeraudio]

It’s better to face the middle of the lid so the wiring properly stays away from being closed into the lid, staying near the hinge is better. Thank you for watching!

[@dukeanmc]

@@volunteeraudio thx for that fast response. Really enjoy watching your Videos 👍

[@volunteeraudio]

@@dukeanmc thank you for watching them!

Not scared and best stereo i ever heard

Thank you!

[@michiganborn8303]

🤔 I'm going to save this video for future reference. What are those color matched spoiler looking things on the rear of the bag lid?

[@volunteeraudio]

They are lights, not sure of the brand

[@michiganborn8303]

@volunteeraudio Thanks, I thought they were spoilers to help keep the lids closed incase of forgetful folks like me forget to latch 'en shut.

[@malik3665]

Thanks for the set-by-step guide. Will this kit work with the 2024 Road Glide bags?

[@volunteeraudio]

No

[@mikemumphrey8622]

In the rear pods what did you do to get those hertz 6.5 to fit I have the same set up bike and speakers 😂but they won’t fit.

[@volunteeraudio]

The sv165neo drop right in, do you have the Neo version?

[@BayAreaNative650]

What if I buy a set of aftermarket lids and cut those instead of my OEM ones. (So I can switch back in forth.) Would that make a difference in how the speakers are angled?

[@volunteeraudio]

@@BayAreaNative650 you will need hog werks lids, advanblack does not work

[@capitainfred]

Hi, how could i add a sub after installing thèse speakers ? What model could fêet ? Regards

[@volunteeraudio]

These will fit Finally Significant Bass! New Hertz Drop in Subwoofer Enclosures for Harley Davidson® Motorcycles kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX3RpJ-jnqqbic0 Coming later this year / early spring

[@sparkyastwo]

Currently, I have Fosgate 6x9s in my lids. If I wanted to upgrade to Hertz, do I need to get new lids? Just b/c they’re both 6x9s, doesn’t necessarily mean that they have the same basket dimensions. JLMK! Keep up the great content?

[@volunteeraudio]

There will be some grinding and modification to your current cut kit to mount the hertz Sx690neo but it can be done

[@justglidin2715]

the hertz cut in kit is smaller than rockford fostgate you can see the cut on the top of the lid I tried it

[@HeatwaveDave10]

That helps a TON. Thanks

[@volunteeraudio]

Your welcome

[@floydclark6853]

Can you tell me the model number of the saw you're using to cut the bags. Thanks

Thank you Sir.

[@MrPhipsi74]

Does the Hertz wiring use the same 4-pin connector as the factory backbone? I've already got the backbone wiring in place for a detachable tour pack.

[@volunteeraudio]

Yes it does, you will need a y splitter too

[@SharpShooter9867]

Hi I followed these instructions to the tee, but I find that my bags still leak a little, I had the first rainstorm since installing and although the speakers held water just fine, it did get around the gasket and into the bag. Any advice on where to check to make sure that the gasket surfaces are in the right place and the fitment is correct. My grill doesn’t quite pull in flush… I’ll work on that, but everything else seems to have gone in tight and secure.

[@volunteeraudio]

I know my bike sat in the rain a few days ago and I had zero leaks, the cuts must be correct so the gaskets are evenly sealed. Make sure your gaskets were in the correct place when it was installed to the lid

[@SharpShooter9867]

@@volunteeraudio I will recheck everything when I take them back out to file down the edge you suggest needs a little more taken off. Hopefully they sit flush and I can get the gaskets to play nice. Thanks for the reply, patiently awaiting the new radio and amp/speakers. 2 weeks and counting! 🤩

[@jordie03]

I have the infinity cap perfect 6x9s will they fit in this cutting kit? I haven’t cut in the infinity kit yet.

[@volunteeraudio]

I would use the infinity kit with infinity speakers and hertz with the hertz cut kit for best fitment

Sucks no one makes things for the old bikes cool like this like 07 and older lol

Will you guys be at Daytona this march?

We will not

[@ValkyrieIA]

Great video but to be honest cutting the lids on 24 CVO ST makes me uncomfortable😂. Do you think rears are necessary with the new amp and front speaker upgrade? I do want to hear it at 85.

[@volunteeraudio]

They do not make cut in kits for the 2024 models yet, you would replace your lids currently on the cvo st

[@ValkyrieIA]

Do you think rears are necessary?

[@volunteeraudio]

@@ValkyrieIA you get your mid bass from the rears

[@johnarchitzel6201]

I have a 2018 Ultra with a Soundstream HU14+ with a MMats 4 channel amp. If I add the lid speakers, do I need to change to a 6 channel amp or can I splice them into my rear speakers? Thanks

[@volunteeraudio]

I know nothing about your Mmats amps capabilities or your current impedance of you 4 speakers, if amp is 2ohm stable and speakers are all 4 ohm you could run up to 8 speakers to the amp if properly set

[@dontheman9932]

Anything wrong with using a rotary tool to cut bags? Im preparing to do the install.

[@volunteeraudio]

It is very difficult to follow the template

[@james6275]

I used a jigsaw with a new blade

[@donaldfouce2578]

how much is it to send you the lids for you to cut and install the grills

[@volunteeraudio]

Labor is $100 when you buy the kit from us

[@marcmo7138]

Remember when guys would just cut a whole on the flat part of the lid and slam a 6x9 on top of the lid? lmao

[@volunteeraudio]

I’m glad we have better options now

[@marcmo7138]

@@volunteeraudio No doubt.
