So yesterday I came across some speakers I had bought a few years back as an extra set I bought for my bike and figured what better use than use them on my ace.

They are 5.25 boss Phantom Skull speakers. Nothing high end but as I said I’ve had a set of these mounted in my fairing for years now and they sound good, even at 80mph and I haven’t any issues with them.

I was originally going to build a set of pods and mount them facing forward on either side of the seat but I would much rather have them in front of me.

I decided to mount them in the lower dash/fender area. I haven’t set it done this way yet and I’m sure some will say it’s not the best place for them but I believe they will be tucked in high enough to never have issues hitting the tires,especially when I have the lift and spacers installed.

So after a few hours, some pvc end caps and a bit of aluminum I camp up with these:

And where they will be mounted:

The plan is to install the speaker from the inside of the cab and the pod from the back side and sandwich the fender in the middle. The pod will be held by four 1/4-20 bolts and an additional 4 8-32 screws the will hold the speaker in as well. I will be using loctite and sealing everything up as I go.

Next it to pick out an amp and go from there.
