Rockford Fosgate TMS69BL9813 Harley 6x9 Saddlebag Speaker Kit for 1998–2013 Touring Motorcycles
Most Harley-Davidson factory audio systems have the same problem: they sound decent sitting still, but once you’re actually riding, the music starts disappearing.
Wind noise takes over. Road noise takes over. The factory system sounds front-heavy, weak, and flat.
The Rockford Fosgate TMS69BL9813 fixes that by adding true 6x9 rear saddlebag speakers to your 1998–2013 Harley touring bike, giving you the kind of fuller, more balanced sound that riders are actually looking for when they upgrade.
If you want a Harley audio system that sounds bigger, projects harder, and gives you real rear fill at highway speed, this is one of the most proven upgrades you can make.

Why Riders Upgrade to the TMS69BL9813
If your current Harley system sounds weak once you get moving, you’re not alone.
Most stock touring systems struggle with:
- very little rear sound
- poor sound balance from front to back
- weak volume once road speed increases
- thin sound with no depth around the rider
That’s exactly where the TMS69BL9813 comes in.
By adding rear 6x9 saddlebag lid speakers, this kit helps turn your system from basic front-only audio into a much more complete front-and-rear setup.
That means:
- more output
- better projection
- fuller sound around the rider
- a more serious Harley audio system overall
What the Rockford Fosgate TMS69BL9813 Includes
This kit is built specifically for 1998–2013 Harley-Davidson touring motorcycles and includes the core hardware needed for a clean saddlebag speaker upgrade.
Included in the kit:
- (2) Rockford Fosgate TMS69 6x9 motorcycle speakers
- saddlebag speaker mounting plates
- bag lid grilles
- cut-in templates
- wiring harness
- installation hardware
This is not a random universal setup. It is designed specifically for Harley touring bag lids, which is why it has become such a popular option for riders looking for a cleaner OEM-style finish with real performance.
What Makes This Kit So Popular
Built for 1998–2013 Harley Touring Models
This kit is designed for older Harley touring platforms, which makes it a strong fit for riders who want to upgrade a proven bike without guessing their way through universal parts.
Rear Fill That Actually Matters
A lot of riders focus only on front speakers. The problem is that even a strong front setup can still sound incomplete without rear fill. Adding 6x9 saddlebag speakers helps complete the sound stage and makes the system feel much bigger while riding.
Designed for Real Riding Conditions
This is motorcycle audio, not regular car audio stuffed into a Harley. The speakers and hardware are designed for the type of vibration, heat, and exposure that motorcycle systems actually deal with.
A Better Foundation for a Full Harley Audio System
This kit works especially well when it becomes part of a larger system. If you are planning to build a real Stage 2 or Stage 3 setup, this is one of the key upgrades that helps get you there.
Who This Upgrade Is For
The Rockford Fosgate TMS69BL9813 is a strong option for riders who:
- want to hear more music behind them instead of only from the front fairing
- already upgraded their front speakers and want better balance
- are building a Stage 2 or Stage 3 Harley audio system
- want louder, fuller sound at speed
- ride often and want a system that feels more complete
If that sounds like your goal, this is one of the smartest rear-speaker upgrades you can make on a 1998–2013 Harley touring bike.
Fitment – Harley-Davidson Models
This kit is designed for 1998–2013 Harley-Davidson touring motorcycles with saddlebags, including:
- Harley-Davidson Street Glide
- Harley-Davidson Road Glide
- other compatible Harley touring models in that year range

Stage 1, Stage 2, and Stage 3 – Where This Kit Fits
A lot of riders ask whether this is a complete system by itself.
The honest answer is no.
This is an important piece of the system—but it works best when matched with the rest of the right parts.
Stage 1
A basic upgrade usually starts with the radio or front speakers. This helps, but it rarely solves the whole problem.
Stage 2
This is where things start getting serious. You add upgraded speakers and amplification, and now the system begins to sound louder and cleaner while riding.
Stage 3
This is where systems are built the right way for real highway-speed listening. Front speakers, rear speakers, amplification, and proper setup all work together.
The TMS69BL9813 fits best into a Stage 2 or Stage 3 Harley audio build.

For a stronger Harley touring setup, pair this kit with:
- upgraded front fairing speakers
- a motorcycle amplifier
- proper system tuning
- a matching Rockford Fosgate Harley setup when possible

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fit my Harley-Davidson?
This kit is designed for 1998–2013 Harley touring motorcycles. If you want help confirming exact fitment for your bike, use (GET A QUICK QUOTE) before ordering or booking installation.
Will adding rear speakers alone make my system louder?
It will help your system sound bigger and more complete, but true volume comes from a properly powered setup. For best results, pair this kit with an amplifier and upgraded front speakers.
Do I need an amplifier with this kit?
For maximum performance, yes. An amplifier is what helps your system play louder and cleaner at speed. Without proper power, you leave performance on the table.
Can I install this myself?
If you have experience with Harley audio systems and cutting saddlebag lids, it is possible. But for most riders, professional installation is the smarter move because fitment, cutting, wiring, and tuning all matter.
Will this work with my factory radio?
It can, but performance will be limited compared to a properly upgraded system. If you want the most out of your audio build, it makes sense to look at the full system, not just one part.
What else should I upgrade with this?
The best next upgrades are usually:
- front fairing speakers
- motorcycle amplifier
- proper radio and tuning plan
Start here:
How long does installation take?
Many installs can be completed the same day depending on the bike and the full scope of the system. The best move is to request a quote so the install can be planned correctly.
