[Fast FLHX]

Anyone know if there is a way to fit an 8" midrange woofer in the fairing lowers on the FLHXSE2?  Does anyone make a replacement speaker cover to accept a larger driver.

Seeing the success of running a JL 400/4 amplifier has me wanting to run this amp with 6.5 components in fairing and a set of 8" midrange drivers in the fairing lowers for the bass.  Should be pretty easy for a company to fabricate a fiberglass replacement enclosure.

I emailed topshopcarbon to see if they would make an 8" enclosure.  I worked with them before on their S-shaped bags which they ended up selling regularly after designing them for me.

I've got the J&M lower that fit their 7.25"s.

I think the issue here is not as much about getting a larger driver to fit, but more about getting a properly designed enclosure for the drivers being installed. For mid/sub - bass, the enclosure design is just as important (if not more so) as the driver itself. For example - take a look at the JL 6W3v3 6" sub. The driver could be mounted in the lowers with some minor glass work - but just because it can be mounted doesn't mean it will produce the expected performance.

Eastside Harley designed (properly - I assume) an enclosure for the 6W3v3 sub to go in the right bag. It takes up ~1/3 of the interior bag space and must have a vent port drilled in the bottom of the bag. Point being that there is noway to get that amount of enclosure area in the lowers.

Not saying it can't be done (I'm looking into it myself) - just saying there is a lot more involved than getting the driver to mount physically.

Keep us posted with whatever you come up with!
