Perfect for Motorcycle Saddlebag Installs

If you ride and want serious bass on two wheels, the DC Audio Shortie is the ultimate motorcycle subwoofer upgrade. With its shallow mounting depth and rugged design, the Shortie is ideal for Harley-Davidson baggers, touring bikes, and custom motorcycle saddlebag audio builds. Riders looking to add deep, clean bass without sacrificing storage space will love how easily the Shortie fits inside saddlebags and motorcycle-specific enclosures.

Whether you’re building a saddlebag subwoofer system for your Harley or adding compact bass to a custom motorcycle audio setup, the DC Shortie delivers 500W RMS of clean, reliable power. This makes it a favorite among the motorcycle audio community for its ability to handle the road, weather, and vibration while keeping your music loud and clear.
