This was a great vid! I’ve never sat through a 36 minute how to before - ever! I’ve got the same exact bike. I can’t hear the system on the highway. Can’t wait for you to get the amp out! I’d like to do the install with the speakers at the same time.
you are so fantastic with your easy and effortless explanations on step to step installations !! I feel like I may be able to instal this myself ! so the package you offer it 2. sets of speakers?? fearing & bags ?? are they plug & play ? and I want the AMP I am tired od riding and after I hit 70-75 MPH I can't hear my Music !!! do you have a adaptor for APPLE CAR PLAY ???
Jay as always you and your Team are at the forefront for bringing us the best possible audio for our rides. Great video tutorials as well Question I have is once you have the amp figured out for these speakers for kick ass sound. Whats going to happen with any updates harley does to the 23/24 infotainment system?
No issue with updates, our amp interface connects via a2b, Harley keeps updating the amp which is changing the internal eq curves in the amplifier and total output. We will have these preset and our interface is usb updatable but will not be affected by radio updates
Are you guys or Hertz working on replacement SG and RG grills? I plan on ordering the kit, but I would prefer the grills match the Hertz brand or not labeled RF at all.
I always catch all your Contant and enjoy every bit of it. I was just thinking a natural progression as a company is you should become a Dakota Digital dealer for them.
Great video and thanks can’t wait for the amp to be released. Just have one question on using the fader what would you suggest. I’m taking a guess it would be slightly forward.
@@volunteeraudio hello, yes I seen these video on 98-2013 street glide, but was wondering are you doing anymore video of these bikes coming up in the future, looking to get different views and looks of other bikes thks,
Amp interface is built, working on programming the internal dsp to properly respond to the radio, 30-45 days out from filming the final product and launching preorders
We just picked up our 24 RG today, we have fairing speakers currently available with our a2b interface and plug n play amp coming soon. We will post new videos soon going over the options
Absolutely, this amp dropped about 10 watts with 4ohm speakers and they are about 6db more efficient than the factory Rockford speakers, 3db is equivalent to doubling your power so those 10 watts lost are nothing compared to the huge db increase from the better speaker efficiency. When we release our plug n play amp upgrade the 4ohm speakers will be a better choice for future expansion too
Hi Jay, I'm getting ready to purchase Hertz stage 4 w/ the Soundstream si, Just curious maybe you would know off hand, do you know if there is any market for the Harley Radio or would be just another shelf item. I've been looking into all types of systems and I'm sold on the Hertz system. Thank you have a good nite
Not a problem at all, the hertz speakers are so much more efficient that they are much louder and the amplifier sounds better at 4ohm, less distortion, plus once we release our plug n play amp upgrade you can run up to 8 speakers off our amp if they are 4ohm
Jay would or does the eq setting from the phone effect the eq on the bike and sound output from the infotainment system. Should the phone have the equalizer shut off
Give us a call to go over the details 1-844-30AUDIO, we have great plug n play packages using hertz speakers and Amps that are much better than the hd audio by Rockford system that came in your cvo
Your amp is smaller in power than even the one in this video, to get a volume increase we would upgrade the amplifier, speakers alone are minimal difference so we usually do amp and speakers together on your model
@@volunteeraudio Thanks for your reply. Don’t know why they put the amp in the saddlebag. Not sure what 2 do with the hole in the saddlebag if we pull out the amp. Would you put the amp in the saddlebag also.
I have already installed H-D upgrade 6x9. What if I would like to buy Hertz fronts and later your amp, do they fit together? Second question is why do you increase mid-up frequencies and drop base? Why not keeping mid-up in centerline and drop base from that?
The hertz speakers are an upgrade over your 6x9’s too, there is a bass boost on the radio that is so high the bass needs to be lowered to get more output of the stock amp and remain clear. th-cam.com/video/RCZwBOaLdCs/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
@@volunteeraudio yes, I understand that but I find odd that first all frequencies are increased to the top from the center level. Why not keep the rest in zero and lower only the base?
@@MikkoYlitalo-i1b watch the video I shared about the stock eq, these settings get the most power from the stock amplifier in our testing using meters to verify
@@volunteeraudio I have understood that the flash H-D dealer made after installing 6x9 changed the original EQ. However, after the flash all of those factory EQ preset settings were far too much base. Terrible. So I reduced base 1-3 lowest ones a lot but left the rest in middle. This was new for me that there is more power available from the amp if EQ is set higher. It seems that 6x9 Rockford-Fosgate and Hertz all speakers are 4 ohm so should fit for future upgrades. I placed the order for the front 165 speakers. Looking forward the amp availability if needed.
wow, buys a $50k motorcycle just to put $2,500 in audio in it..... 😢 harley done f***ed up this year. bang for buck is awful. should have bought an Indian
Hertz is a company that under promises and over performs, the sx165neo are rated at 100 watt rms / 200 watt peak, but they use the same woofer, voice coil, magnet and basket as the sv165neo which are 200 watt rms. We never have an issue sending near double the rms power to them

Sounds great too!
Love your video,y’all (jay)do a wonderful job,would like to see a video for the RG speaker swap to the hertz setup. Thanx Ken
Thank you! RG is coming next week
Taking the leap of faith and ordering 2 kits! Can’t wait for the amp update.

Great stuff
Thank you!
I miss the sale on the speakers do you plan on running another one?
Not anytime soon
Great video and thanks can’t wait for the amp to be released.
Just have one question on using the fader what would you suggest. I’m taking a guess it would be slightly forward.
No, middle setting or slightly rear
Sir another great video, My question are you going to be posting radio upgrades on 2013 and older street glides , if so please let me know , thks

Would the Hertz 6x9 work with Rockford drop in subs or are they bigger than the Harley 6x9 that do work with the subs?
I have not tested the depth to see, it is slightly deeper
Great Videos. I have a 2024 RG. Do you have the Amp upgrade available yet? looking at amp and 2 speaker replacement for now.

Will the drop in Subs you sell work well in the 23 CVO bags?
No they will not

question.. aren't the rockford fosgate speakers and amp a 20hms? the Hertz are 4 ohms. wouldn't that be a problem?

Jay would or does the eq setting from the phone effect the eq on the bike and sound output from the infotainment system.
Should the phone have the equalizer shut off
Always turn the phone eq off and sound check off
Do you have a kit for a 2024 RG? (Speakers & amp)
Speakers yes, amps coming soon

We set mid/highs with a 1khz -5db track
@@volunteeraudio after u do that is it ok to mess with EQ from the radio?
no polarity test??? Did harley stop switching wires around?
We tested and polarity was correct for both of our Cvo’s

The 6.5 Hertz in fairing are they 200 watts RMS?

Do you have anything for the 2024 road glide standard?
Yes, we purchased one this week to build our packages around, we have replacement speakers currently and will have the plug n play amp very soon
