Get A Loud Harley Stereo For A Lot Less - DIY Harley Audio Upgrade

  • Loud Harley Davidson Stereos aren't a luxury, they're a bit of a necessity if you want to hear your music at highway speeds. I have never been happy with the complexity of my ‪@rockfordfosgate‬ stereo, and lately have had a problem with a short in the wiring. While replacing the rear end of my ‪@harleydavidson‬ Ultra Limited I decided to completely eliminate they old stereo and start over. I decided to go with a simple, but loud 2 speaker set up. I kept my Rockford speakers, but I went with an in-fairing amp by Hogtunes, specifically the Wild Boar Audio 400.2R 200 Watt x 2 with REMIT. The install was easy, I did NOT have to cut my saddlebags, the sound is fantastic and loud enough to hear at any speed. I found a few bundles on Amazon that are even better deals than what I bought and include speakers.

    Put a Wild Boar 300 amp in 150 x 2 with some Hertz speakers in my Streetglide. Now I can hear it on the highway, I'll never win a stereo competition but atleast, I can hear my tunes rolling down the road. Also went with this amp as it mounts under batwing, another reason I didn't pay a crap load for the Rockford Fosgate and take up bag space. Thanx for taking the time to make great videos and Ride Safe

    Nice! I’m running a sound stream HD9813RG touch screen radio, Biketronics BT4180 Amp (180 rms per channel) 1400 watts. DB drive WDX Moto CD 6.5’s in fairing, (4) pioneer TS-6900 pros in lids, and (2) 8” pioneers midbass (TS-M800). I can tell you your ears will bleed 🩸 cranked up all the way. As you said, you don’t need to go super high end , competition sound to have good quality music. Nice video!

    You made my day! I got the Wild Boar installed at Laconia several months ago by The Fairing Exchange folks, and I love it too. It seems to be poo pooed by many, but I agree with you they're great. I checked the Wild Boar system after "The Ornery One" had it installed on his. Two 400watt amps IN THE FAIRING, nothing in bags, no cutting. I've been 80 on the highway and still haven't had to turn it beyond 2/3 of the volume. $800 less then JM, and Rockford. Same 2 way speakers up off the cone. Love it, great sound!

    I had a Hog-Tunes Amp and speaker setup on my 2011.. DUMPED IT.. Umm, it was OK at speed, and yeah, makes sense, highs and mids are all you hear while riding, but I'll tell you this, I bough two Kicker 300W Power sports amps (179.00 each) and I changed my factory 5.25" speakers to 6.75" ($99.00/ Pair) speakers (YES, they'll fit, and YES you'll need two 5.25" to 6.5" speaker adapters for the front fairing speakers). I installed Kicker's 6.75" speakers on all four corners of my Ultra Classic (those speakers have the same mounting holes as their 6.5" speakers, so converting is not an issue. I REALLY need to do a video of my install and share it with you and your viewers. Once you break the speakers in, IT. SOUNDS. AWESOME.. Look for it, coming up sometime in December. I put a SHIT TON of effort into designing the system and making it sound GREAT, not just "good". At speed (65 MPH+) you'd friggin LOVE IT!! and for less than $600 WITH speakers, it'll blow your MIND!! Clutch sounds AWESOME on it!!

    I had an Alpine Amp sitting in my garage from my Vulcan Vaquero. I decided to put her on the Road Glide with Alpine type R 6.5 speakers with the amp bridged to 2 channels 90 watts RMS to each channel. Man, I can only put the volume to a little less than 3/4 way. Loud as shit and I can clearly hear the music well past 90 mph. All I had to buy was a Biketronics module, Amp mount and some speaker adapter plugs. Took about 1 hour to install. Friggin love it

I've already spent around $3K+ (all-in includes color matched speaker lids from HD) for the 4-speaker (2-fairing & 2-Lids) Rockford-Fosgate HD Stage-2 setup (1 amp inside clutch side Bag). Also added the HD SirrusXM module. Although pricey, I do enjoy it all the time, fine at freeway speeds and no issues. Use the HD Audio app on my phone for the 7-band graphic equalizer. That being said though, next bike, plan to look into the Hog Tunes equipment and save a significant chunk of money. Thanks again!

    Yep. I just want two loud speakers. I know I won't get much bass but I'm willing to compromise that because I don't want to sacrifice saddlebag storage space. And I also don't want to spend a small fortune and modify my bike that much either. I heard the BOSS Audio Systems BHD3F kit at a Moto Sport event and for a mere $550 it was freaking awesome. A great entry-level kit for anyone on a budgt. I don't know how long it will last, etc., but it sounds great! Personally, I'm going to only budget about $1,000 for a 2-stage kit. The WildBoar kit seems like it'll be perfect for me.

      I am happy as hell with it, really. I am toying with doing the speakers also now. Its going to cost you more since you have a 4 speaker setup, but still less than the Harley option. Here is the link I found for the kit you need. It replaces your stock speakers front and rear, front grills, and comes with two amps and all the install stuff. You really can do this yourself and I don't think your stereo would even need to be flashed since you already have a 4 speaker setup: amzn.to/3EqAYoy

    I'm not really sure what Rockford fosgate kit they sold you but for what you're wanting there amp mounts in the fairing just like that hog tunes amp. I have my Rockford fosgate amp in my fairing on my road bike but it also came with a street glide bracket. the fosgate amp I have also powers the 6x9s in my lids which surprisingly take up very little space and that whole setup is plenty loud enough to last good rock music

      Yup, if you buy the kit from RF it goes in the fairing. If you buy HDs version of the RF system it goes in the bag. The RF system is a lot more expensive no matter where you get it though. I didn’t want to spend that much all over again. I’m really happy with this system. I’m still running the RF speakers though.

      Stick with the GTS. If you have CarPlay, the only other benefit is more fine tuning with the massive eq controls in the deck. It’s a touchscreen deck and you lose some of the functionality of the toggles on the handlebar. You can skip tracks and control the volume, but you lose navigating the menus with the toggles, and have to use the touchscreen. That’s my experience anyway. Have one in a road glide right now.
