I really like your bike , I have a 2016 ultra limited with the same screaming eagle breather set up , it’s almost like watching someone work on my ride. Thanks for the ideas , I may add lowers to mine at some point.
Hey thanks a lot. The whole point of this video was to prove that you could get speakers with big magnets into the lowers. I had small Neodymium speakers in those holes for years. Thanks for watching.
Well, they’ve been in there two years and they haven’t rusted yet. And the beautiful thing about it all is that if I do see a speck of rust, I can just change them out with another one of the 500 drywall screws I bought for $5.
I keep meaning to get around to doing that but kind of busy. The secret to using drywall screws and not having them rust is… I don’t ride around in the rain. Lol. Thanks for watching. 👍
Do you say that because the magnets are smaller? Because i’ve been working with speakers for 40 years and to me ferrite magnet speakers sound better than the neodymiums. It might not make much of a difference at 60mph, but I’ll know.
I took a quick look at that bike and yes you will. All twin cooled bikes have the radiator tank in the right lower fairing. You can take a look at Hog Tunes website, they make some adapters. Not sure who else does. Thanks for watching.
I don't know what kind of bike you're riding but on my 900lb Limited, an extra few pounds aint making a whole lot of difference. Try looking for speakers that have a neodymium magnet. That'll keep the weight down a bit.
I bought them off a guy on Craigslist who had them custom made. He wouldn’t tell me where he had them made but he did say that the shop that made them wasn’t interested in making them going forward. My guess is that they had so much work into them that they couldn’t make any money on them. Do you know about the Hog Tunes ones? Check them out.
@@tyne220 wow, I’m sorry to hear that. And the speakers before these were ok? I mean they were getting an ok sound before you swapped them out. I’m just trying to figure out if it’s the speakers or...?
There is a reason why Harley is moving away from Rockford & boom. My aftermarket Road King blows any of their stock CVOs with 6 speakers out of the park. They get mad when it’s bike night & a RK with saddlebag speakers hits harder than their 50k Cvo haha
The guy who made the ones I have told me that he doesn’t want to make them anymore. I’m guessing it’s because there’s so much work into them he can’t make any money off of them. Sorry. Have you taken a look at the Hog Tunes ones? They’re pretty deep.
Check out J&M's website. They have lower fairing speaker pods. They sell them pods only, but not shown as on website. They had them at Daytona and they looked really nice.
It’s kinda freaking me out that your messaging me while I’m in the middle of working on my first painting video. Maybe it’s a sign from the painting gods. Lol.
You were doing good until you decided to not used the grill base after that error came the sheetrock screws! But that can be all fix my friend sounds good 👌🏼
Lol. Not sure what the big deal is. I had stainless screws and drywall screws side by side when I was putting these speakers in, and the heads were exactly the same. The only difference anyone would see is that the stainless were chrome and the drywall screws were black. Black wins on my bike.
every time he grabs the speaker by the tweeter makes me cringe. Ive seen so many speakers snap like that specially ones with heavier magnets like these.
Grounds zero's are $250 a pair. DS18's are $200 for a pair. The DS18's have an aluminum cone and a Kapton voice coil. Kapton is plastic.. Dude, are you kidding me? They also run a neodymium magnet. That in itself tells me that they will sound thin and shitty. Ground Zero's have a natural fiber cone and a copper clad aluminum voice coil and run a ferrite magnet. It's the perfect combination. According to the specs the DS18's will take more power. Ok, I'll give you that one but SPL isn't everything. Nothing about the DS18's tells me that they " blow those expensive ground zeroes away" I guess I'll have to buy a pair of DS18's and run them side by side with GZCF 6.5PL's and let the RTA tell the story. Thanks for bringing this to my attention and watch for that video.
good job well done😎
👍
I add these to my bike lower pods took out my 6.5 rockford and installed 6.5 yellow basket and wow what a difference!
What brand pods did you use
Hey what lower fairing pods are you using? I have the advan black version and want to use the ground zero in there
I really like your bike , I have a 2016 ultra limited with the same screaming eagle breather set up , it’s almost like watching someone work on my ride. Thanks for the ideas , I may add lowers to mine at some point.
I caught that Carlos reference with the drywall screws! Lol
Oh yeah Carlos is awesome. I like to poke a little fun at him when I can.
Great job. I probably would have gone with a more shallow speaker. You did a great job. Really enjoyed your video.
Hey thanks a lot. The whole point of this video was to prove that you could get speakers with big magnets into the lowers. I had small Neodymium speakers in those holes for years. Thanks for watching.
Cant wait for that rusted dry wall look..its a classic
Well, they’ve been in there two years and they haven’t rusted yet. And the beautiful thing about it all is that if I do see a speck of rust, I can just change them out with another one of the 500 drywall screws I bought for $5.
@@i.b.lancer inside dry wall screws that dont rust🤔 yes you are lucky.. i just use stainless steel ones i powder coated black.

Ground Zero!!!
Was torn between these and MMats but ground zero 6.5 coaxials are the way to go!
He does nice work
You’re too kind. Thanks for watching.
I love the GZ yellow basket coax
How did you get the speaker connected? Is there a wire inside ?
I had to run the wires down from the head unit.
How those are going to hold up when it rains
The new 6.5 neos would do ya good lol
Do you say that because the magnets are smaller? Because i’ve been working with speakers for 40 years and to me ferrite magnet speakers sound better than the neodymiums. It might not make much of a difference at 60mph, but I’ll know.
I wonder if I'm going to need some adapters like that for my 2020 Tri Glide Ultra
I took a quick look at that bike and yes you will. All twin cooled bikes have the radiator tank in the right lower fairing. You can take a look at Hog Tunes website, they make some adapters. Not sure who else does. Thanks for watching.
@@i.b.lancer you sir are the man😎👍🇺🇸
Holy smokes 230 bucks for some adapters LoL 😆
I can understand 250 for the speakers
If it’s twin cooled and you’re trying to get a big magnet in, yes. You’ll need spacers.
How do you like these GZs by now?
These I love ❤️
You'll mind the drywall screws when they rust. And they will rust. Nice speakers tho'.
On a bike weight is a big issue. Is there a speaker just as good with a small powerful magnet like dayton?
I don't know what kind of bike you're riding but on my 900lb Limited, an extra few pounds aint making a whole lot of difference. Try looking for speakers that have a neodymium magnet. That'll keep the weight down a bit.
How are the highs on these? Like the voice
I can’t complain about these at all. Mind you they’re under powered right now so I’m not really pushing them too hard.
I had to do the same thing. My speakers wouldn’t fit my ultra pods either.
How do they fit in lowers not liquid cooled, just air cooled?
Should be no problem at all.
What is the highest clean signal on a Sony 5000?
Please share where you got the speaker rings from?
I bought them off a guy on Craigslist who had them custom made. He wouldn’t tell me where he had them made but he did say that the shop that made them wasn’t interested in making them going forward. My guess is that they had so much work into them that they couldn’t make any money on them.
Do you know about the Hog Tunes ones? Check them out.
So you get any vocals from those
Oh yeah, they’re a full range speaker. They just hit lower then most other 6.5’s.
Preciate you. I have some gzcm 6.5
Not getting the sound out of them I want
@@tyne220 wow, I’m sorry to hear that. And the speakers before these were ok? I mean they were getting an ok sound before you swapped them out. I’m just trying to figure out if it’s the speakers or...?
I had factory before. I might need to add a tweeter, because I'm not getting any highs. Only mid
Right, ok I get you now.. those don’t have a built in tweeter. So ya, you’ll have to add one.
Wicked!

What pod adapters are those? Everything I see are super thin and def won't take the mounting depth. I want to add these speaks to my glide asap

I haven't yet but I will for sure. Even if I need to do some dabbing to get them to fit
Check out J&M's website. They have lower fairing speaker pods. They sell them pods only, but not shown as on website. They had them at Daytona and they looked really nice.
Are these marine rated speakers?
Definitely not.
Ground zeros are weather proof.
What speakers do you have in the fairing?? I'm trying to get the sony 7000 plug and play set up, sound digital sd 400.4 and a pair of ground zero 6.5.
I’m running the Biketronics 7.1 Pro’s in the upper fairing with their BT2250 amp driving them.
How many watts are you running?
Only 1500 watts.

Awesome
You don’t need Carlos😁

Bwahahaha!!! Before you watch this one.. you’re gunna want to practice saying... That ain’t right!

You’re hilarious.
Please....
mind the drywall screws
Lol. Not sure what the big deal is. I had stainless screws and drywall screws side by side when I was putting these speakers in, and the heads were exactly the same. The only difference anyone would see is that the stainless were chrome and the drywall screws were black. Black wins on my bike.
@@i.b.lancer stainless doesn't rust but you can always paint the heads of the regular steel drywall screws black or powder coat them for fun LOL

Recording inside your shop will greatly affect the response. Recording in an open space would be much better.
DS18 pro-zt6 blow those expensive ground zeroes away at not even half the price

Dry wall screws 🤔…….. 🤦🏿🤷🏾♂️WTH….🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yup. And they’re still sitting there looking as good as new.
