The Largest Cone Area Meets Precision Engineering for the Ultimate Bagger Audio Experience
LAS VEGAS, NV – February 3, 2026 – Diamond Audio, the industry leader in high-performance motorcycle audio, proudly announces the debut of its groundbreaking 8x12" Cut-In Lid Kit designed specifically for 2024 and newer Harley-Davidson touring models. Unveiled today at KnowledgeFest Las Vegas, this kit represents a massive leap forward in output and integration for the new generation of Harley saddlebags.
Patent-Pending Performance
At the heart of this innovation is a Patent Pending design (US Provisional Patent Application No.: 63/951,910) that utilizes a massive 8x12" HMXFB Series speaker. By opting for this unique oval format, Diamond Audio provides riders with the largest possible cone area for maximum sound pressure levels while strategically retaining usable storage space within the saddlebag—a feat previously thought impossible with drivers of this scale.
The New Standard: HMXFB Series 8x12" Speakers
The kit features the all-new HMXFB 2-way speakers, engineered for the harsh environment of the open road:
- Carbon Fiber Cone: Delivers intense impact and lightning-fast transient response.
- 1.5" Compression Loaded Titanium Tweeter: Provides crisp, musical high-frequency detail and increased output to cut through wind and exhaust noise.
- Neodymium Motor: A high-energy magnet structure that offers immense power handling while significantly reducing weight.
- Fiber-Reinforced Basket: Ensures rigid stiffness and durability without the bulk of traditional cast baskets.
Rugged, Reliable Engineering
The Lid Kit is built for the long haul, featuring brass inserts to ensure the inner gasket and outer housing maintain a perfect, reliable, and water-tight fit. For riders seeking the absolute maximum in low-end punch, Diamond Audio is also offering an optional tunable port kit to further enhance bass impact and overall output.
“With the 2024+ Harley platform, we didn't just want to make another speaker kit; we wanted to dominate the space,” said John Catalano, Director of Product Development at Diamond Audio. “By utilizing the 8x12" format and our patent-pending housing, we are giving riders more air movement and more volume than anything else on the market, all while keeping their bags functional.”
Availability
The Diamond Audio 2024+ Harley Cut-In Lid Kit is scheduled to begin shipping in April 2026. Experience it live at KnowledgeFest Las Vegas from February 3rd–5th. For more information, visit diamondaudio.com.
