If you're looking for a Harley saddlebag speaker upgrade that can actually be heard while riding, the Hertz HD13H-KIT delivers a powerful improvement in volume, clarity, and overall sound performance.

This Harley saddlebag speaker kit upgrades touring saddlebags with high-output 6×9 motorcycle speakers designed for bagger audio systems., giving riders stronger midbass, cleaner vocals, and much greater sound projection at highway speeds.

For riders building a complete bagger audio system, this upgrade is commonly installed alongside motorcycle amplifiers and front fairing speakers.

Why Riders Choose This Kit

High Output for Highway Riding

The SX 690 NEO.1 speakers are designed for SPL-style output, meaning they project sound forward toward the rider even in open-air riding environments.

This allows music to remain clear even at highway speeds where wind and road noise normally overpower factory speakers.

Built for Motorcycle Environments

Motorcycle audio equipment must survive conditions that traditional car speakers never face.

These speakers use treated cone materials and durable grilles designed to tolerate:

• heat
• vibration
• humidity
• outdoor exposure

Designed for Harley Touring Upgrades

Instead of piecing together random components, the HD13H-KIT provides a complete saddlebag speaker solution designed specifically for Harley-Davidson touring motorcycles.

This ensures proper mounting, clean wiring integration, and a finished installation appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my Harley-Davidson?

This kit is designed for 1998–2013 Harley-Davidson touring saddlebag lids, commonly used on Street Glide, Road Glide, Road King, and Electra Glide models.

Fitment depends on your saddlebag style. If your bike uses electric locking saddlebags, this kit is not compatible.

Do saddlebag speakers make a big difference?

Yes. Larger 6×9 speakers move more air than smaller speakers, which produces stronger midbass and greater overall system output.

They are one of the most common upgrades for riders building bagger audio systems.

Do these speakers need an amplifier?

For best performance, yes.

These speakers are rated at 130 watts RMS, so adding amplifier power significantly improves volume, clarity, and overall sound quality.

Many riders pair these speakers with a compact amplifier such as the Hertz SP 4.900 4-Channel Motorcycle Amplifier for maximum output.

Can Stereo Installs install this kit?

Yes.
