Thanks Jay! I will be calling. I should get my bike back this Thursday. I haven't installed the system yet. I will need a update on the head unit. And thinking about a amp.
Dude..i like the math snd engineering numbers you speak of. I just purchased the 2 stage set up from you guys, but i think i may need more. If you go from the stock boom radio to the sounstream radio, will there be a significant sound increase in the system? If i was to go to a 4 stage with soeakers in the front lower fairings what differences would i see? Thank you for the info.
The Soundstream radio does make it some louder but also clearer due to a stronger input to the amp, lowers will add more volume as well so you can clearly here it at highway speeds without going as high in volume on the radio
Thanks brotha. Ill be ordering that headunit REALLY SOON THEN! Currently, the stock boom with the upgraded 2 stage sound great! Having these videos snd your personal touch are like having a volunteer audio inside my home. It's awesome!!
@@volunteeraudio I have a question, I’m updating my system in my 20 street glide special to a 4 speaker system. If money isn’t a problem, what would you suggest, speakers, new unit, ect? If I’m more on a budget, best option? I like all music and I like loud and clear and highway speeds. Love the videos and I have learned much but also brings more questions. Thanks
Yes, both are the same, Diamond was sold and the owner uses the same build house in china to make cicada, not really new. We compared and still believe hertz is much higher quality product
Most companies try for less than 3 percent failure during warranty period, if a product goes over 1 percent we stop carrying that product. Hertz has been well under 1 percent failure during warranty
Hello i have a 2022 street glide special i want to up grade my stereo i have been watching your you tube. Could u please tell me how much it cost for the hertz sp 4.900 and speakers best suited. Thank you Michael.
Hello Michael, are you wanting to keep the stock radio or upgrade to a soundstream hdhu14si? You can call us at 1-844-30AUDIO and we will be happy to go over the options and pricing with you!
@@michaelswain5422 we do, sales@volaudio.com, it is much better and much faster to call in, we take calls first and only answer emails when all calls are caught up. Plus we would rather to speak to you and get the correct package put together for you
Awesome info Jay...question.. Would you recommend the Sp4.900 to run hertz neo 6.5 in uppers and lowers...hertz neo 6.5 in tour pac and RF 6x9 in the lids...what would each speaker get..about 140?? Or about 70?
The polks won’t take the power of the sp4.900, I have not heard them on the precision power amp because we don’t use the Polk mm1 in our Harley installs
I don’t think they do, cicada is high distortion like many other motorcycle amps on the market, .02 thd on the hertz amp and dyno results to back up the power
We build more advanced setups but they are not plug n play, there is not a more powerful amp available than the sp4.900 only companies claiming larger numbers
Jay I just purchased the hertz amp and neo front for streetglide can those sx neo handle power when the amp is bridged and I will be adding some 6x9 neo later and maybe a separate Hertz amp to get a sound as good as the new 1000 wat Hertz amp . Thanks
Depends on the distortion of the amplifier, that is what’s most important, this new Hertz amp is not the norm for high power amplifiers, most are very high distortion and easily blow speakers
Oh, and one last question. The hertz Amp seems to get really hot after normal use. Seems a little excessive but not sure if its normal for this amp. Any suggestions on keeping it at a lower temperature? And thanks again dude. Your the man!
Class D with no fan amps tend to run hot when pushing a low impedance load. Completely normal, now if it's too hot to touch them you have a issue. A suggestion though to help out these amps is to install a fan or two in a way to blow air or extract the heat from the amps. Every little bit helps
Jay, I currently have 6 speakers (fairing, tour-pad and lids with the Hertz HMP4D-SS from you guys) I want to add 2 of the new hertz subwoofers in my saddlebags, but don't want to add an amp in the bags. What amp or amps would you recommend that could fit behind the fairing, so I don't have to add one to my bags? Thank you in advance for your feedback.
The sp4.900 would be a great choice to add for subs but it would be difficult to add both amps in your fairing without an aftermarket amp shelve and modification to the bike
250 watts per channel at 2 ohm. So I have upper and lower fairing speakers hooked at 2 ohm. Is each of the 4 speakers getting 250 watts or splitting the 250 between the 2 speakers?
It’s actually about 280-290 watts, I’ll do a future video to answer this question, most will tell you it splits the signal but I think you get more than half that number to each speaker
I appreciate how you took the time to break down the difference between the amps. I’m almost ready to order. Thanks.
Thank you Jim!
Thanks Jay!

And thinking about a amp.
I got my hertz and speakers and radio I am a little hesitant to plug it all in hope it goes well when I do cannot wait to hear it🤘💪

Very Informative video. Made my decision much easier. Thank you Jay!
Thank you for watching!
Thanks Jay, love these. Keep them coming!!God Bless!✌️😇👍
I have been a fan of HERTZ for a while now. Do you guys ever test Diamond audio or the “new” cicada stuff.
Yes, both are the same, Diamond was sold and the owner uses the same build house in china to make cicada, not really new. We compared and still believe hertz is much higher quality product
What is your failure rate that you mentioned on the amp?
Thanks,
Which amp?
Most companies try for less than 3 percent failure during warranty period, if a product goes over 1 percent we stop carrying that product. Hertz has been well under 1 percent failure during warranty
What is the warranty on the hertz amps and if someone thing goes wrong do i just send it back or can i go to any hertz dealer?
We handle the warranty for 3 years
Jay have you put J&M amps on the Dyno. I would really like to see compersions.
Send me one and I’ll test it for you
@@volunteeraudio I just might do that when I pull the engine apart this winter.
I would like to see the numbers on the MMATS MD4110
Send me one to test
@@volunteeraudio i have one on my bike... would be willing to come down.
@@mikewilson4918 need it off the bike to properly test
I’ve ran that amp on a 2010 ultra limited and it did really good.

That would be 2ohm stereo so it did over 280 watts per channel at 2 ohm, you will get over 140rms to each speaker
How will polk mm1s sound on the ppi and hertz 900 amp?
The polks won’t take the power of the sp4.900, I have not heard them on the precision power amp because we don’t use the Polk mm1 in our Harley installs
HOW DO YOU THINK THE CICADA AMPS COMPARE TO THE HERTZ AMP
I don’t think they do, cicada is high distortion like many other motorcycle amps on the market, .02 thd on the hertz amp and dyno results to back up the power
Hey Jay, I have infinity Kappa’s currently running on a Rockford amp and like to switch to one of your amps, which one do you recommend?
Maa4.400 from precision power or sp4.500 from hertz. Call us at 1-844-30AUDIO to get a plug n play version setup for your radio
these amps are just basic setups? I'm looking to add beyma or euphoria coaxial 6.5 to my fairings, and some 8 mid base to my bags
We build more advanced setups but they are not plug n play, there is not a more powerful amp available than the sp4.900 only companies claiming larger numbers
Jay I just purchased the hertz amp and neo front for streetglide can those sx neo handle power when the amp is bridged and I will be adding some 6x9 neo later and maybe a separate Hertz amp to get a sound as good as the new 1000 wat Hertz amp . Thanks
The only way to get the power your asking about is to purchase the new hertz sp4.900 it is 5 times more powerful than the Hmp4d
How far above RMS do you recommend running speakers?
Depends on the distortion of the amplifier, that is what’s most important, this new Hertz amp is not the norm for high power amplifiers, most are very high distortion and easily blow speakers
Oh, and one last question. The hertz Amp seems to get really hot after normal use. Seems a little excessive but not sure if its normal for this amp. Any suggestions on keeping it at a lower temperature? And thanks again dude. Your the man!
If running 2ohm it will get hotter but never hit enough to burn anything
The sp4.900 runs cooler
Cool beans...

Great information!
Thanks Cue!
Hi, the hertz hmp4d has a 15amp fuse, do you run without a fuse as you mentioned it clipped around 20amp. Thanks
We always install a 20 amp fuse in them
Thanks so much, I’ll do the same. Love the channel 👍
Jay, I currently have 6 speakers (fairing, tour-pad and lids with the Hertz HMP4D-SS from you guys) I want to add 2 of the new hertz subwoofers in my saddlebags, but don't want to add an amp in the bags.

Rockford has M series that is sealed.
Way too late, so many better amps now
@@volunteeraudio what’s a good small powerful sub amp do you recommend. ?
@@daveroski the hertz sp1.900 should be available soon 1000 watt rms 2000 peak
@@volunteeraudio sounds amazing. I want one. Let me know when it’s available.
700 watts ÷ by 14 volts = 50 amps correct? I was wondering why these dinos do not match the math. Is it the lack of efficiency?
These new advanced class d amps are more efficient than older d or class ab
What’s the impact on the charging systems on this bikes? Battery?
All 3 can be used on stock battery, the largest of these pulls less than 60amps at full output
250 watts per channel at 2 ohm. So I have upper and lower fairing speakers hooked at 2 ohm. Is each of the 4 speakers getting 250 watts or splitting the 250 between the 2 speakers?
