I am just finishing up my system. Sounds great!. I went with 6 6.5 inch Fosgates in the fairing, added them to the pods and the rear. I ran them all thru the amp (600 Kenwood kac-314) and it cranks! For some reason it cuts out when it gets up to 29 out of 35 on volume. I have been working on it for a week or so (health issues). I am going to ride soon (until they amputate my leg anyway). FYI, you didn't need to keep the stock speaker rings in the fairing with the adapters, just put your screen on the front of the adapter and screw it on, it will hold the screen Gotta have tunes...
wire 3 speakers in a pair in series, then each pair of 3 parallel out at 2.6 ohm, so series/parallel,, itll help with longevity of the speakers and it will make the cutting out go away, if you need a picture let me know
thanks for the detailed install. great ideas and who doesn't love listening to tunes loud. it just goes with the true enjoyment of cruising! excellent!!🖒
Nice job! this is why I prefer a a road king (no factory fairing) its a pain in the ass to up grade the factory stereo system in a Harley-Davidson fairing. For some odd reason HD runs ever thing through the radio. After market fairing is a clean slate and just build from there
I cannot thank you enough for sharing this. This is the exact system I want to put on my 2007 Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic Cvo. I can't find all the information on what you bought and all from where. Can you DM me the information, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
That amp is really only big enough for 2 of those 6x9’s. It’s only about 300 watts rms. It’ll sound okay but you’re not using those speakers to anywhere near their full capabilities.
Wow that's the same exact JVC head unit I have in my bike now but I'm getting ready to get rid of it because it started malfunctioning as I was riding it would change modes it would go from Bluetooth to a.m. to FM to auxiliary back to Bluetooth and the volume would go all the way up and I couldn't get it to turn down or shut off so I just pulled the fuse on it so I'm getting ready to get rid of it. Don't know how old it is but it's got to go.
as of now I have installed the same amp and same polk fairing speakers, stock radio. its great. cant decide on whether to keep the stock radio or upgrade. next step is going to be the hog tunes Bluetooth transmitter and probably dual 6x9 lids
Great vid. I was contemplating purchasing the Rockford Fosgate $1960 system for my 2006 Ultra Classic. Sounds like you have a great alternative. I don't need 6 speakers, though. Would the items on this list do me well?
Great Job! I'm looking to do the something. The power & ground cables you bought, were they for the amp? also how did you wire the rears? did you buy a pre wired harnees? Thanks
Hey boss I know this video is old but I have a few questions. Are those speakers waterproof, I love on the east coast. Weather is what it wants to be. Also, will all the mods translate to an 03 ultra classic Electra glide
So after how many years are you still happy with this setup? I have a 2002 electra glide classic myself. Is there anything you would change since using it longer?Also how did you affix the amp in the fairing
I made an alum plate that bolted to the batwing inner stereo deck plastic surround and bolted amp to that, But alot of people double sticky velcro amp on top of deck
The deck (just) rear output (R and L) I plugged splitters into each one basically doubling the deck;s rear out puts. These then (2 left and 2 right deck outputs )now plug into the 4 channel amp. I then made sure the 2 right deck inputs that feed the amp make the amps power go to the both right bags 6x9's and same for the left side. I hope that's what you where asking. So now I can fade from the deck front to rear and side to side. I mounted the Kenwood amp in my right saddle bag. And mounted the Dual amp right on top of headunit that powers the 2 batwing speakers.
cuevas72 No, did not remove any harnesses, simply. Unplugged the original head unit from the factory harness and plugged the new one in. Very simple. No amp on the factory stereo, it was all one self contained unit. .
that amp is not a 600 watt amp. its a 300 watt amp (when ran at 2 ohms). the max power sticker on the front is false advertisement. here's the manufacturer website link showing its true power www.kenwood.com/usa/car/marine/kac-m3004/ pick up a soundz 100.4 amp or a rockford fosgate tm400x4ad ( i recomend the soundz amp), both are designed marine grade and both come in kits for harleys. pricey but double the power and smaller than this kenwood. if you changed that into this system it will scream twice as loud. those db's can handle the extra power.
Yeah I think its definitely the amp choice! You definitely to to add a amp, & go with something different than the kenwood. I'm bout to add my audio, I went with the pole mm series 6.5 & 6x9's. I have the Rockford lid kit. Rockford pbr400x4d amp, & diamond micro4v2. I couldn't see paying for the Aquatic radio, j just went with jvc.
I dont know how you feel bout your bag space, but it's a guy on called (money cars stereos) he use a lot of pioneer & put together some killer system check him out
I remember when Polk Audio was crap back in the 80’s! They have come a long way!

I totally appreciate your time for doing the homework, video and model numbers with prices. Thank you! I think I’ll be following your footsteps.
thanks for the detailed install. great ideas and who doesn't love listening to tunes loud. it just goes with the true enjoyment of cruising! excellent!!🖒
I’m getting all the similar items together as we speak thank you for the video
Nice job! this is why I prefer a a road king (no factory fairing) its a pain in the ass to up grade the factory stereo system in a Harley-Davidson fairing. For some odd reason HD runs ever thing through the radio. After market fairing is a clean slate and just build from there
That's a neat job, no ugly wires. Nice work, nice video
Heck yeah that’s a deal I went to ask about my 2007 ultra classic stereo upgrade and they told me it was gonna be $4,600 are they crazyyyy
Same here with my 2007 Ultra Classic Cvo. Their nuts for the price they want for systems for our bikes
Bro thanks for all the tips I’m installing a pioneer an 4 speaker on my 2005 ultra classic
🤔woulda been nice for you to crank up the volume so we can hear it even if it is a video .Oh well thanks for the awesome video 😀👍
Good old bangers being played

Awesome work! I’m by Joliet. Might do this with my 2012 Street Glide
Wow that's the same exact JVC head unit I have in my bike now but I'm getting ready to get rid of it because it started malfunctioning as I was riding it would change modes it would go from Bluetooth to a.m. to FM to auxiliary back to Bluetooth and the volume would go all the way up and I couldn't get it to turn down or shut off so I just pulled the fuse on it so I'm getting ready to get rid of it. Don't know how old it is but it's got to go.
Nice bike and install brother!!!🎉🎉
Joliet Illinois? From Aurora miss it up north. Kick ass system.
Bro. You didn’t even show us what plug goes to the wiring harness. The black or the gray hub off the Harley harness?????
Thank you for making this
so the system by the time i'm posting this is almost 2 years old hows it doing for you hows the radio handling the vibrations of the bike any issues
Lids… not tops!! Awesome video regardless
That's sweet I just picked up a 2004 ultra I'm doing something similar
Josh Tinker Nice. Look forward to hearing how it turned out. 6 months later and I am still totally satisfied.
as of now I have installed the same amp and same polk fairing speakers, stock radio. its great. cant decide on whether to keep the stock radio or upgrade. next step is going to be the hog tunes Bluetooth transmitter and probably dual 6x9 lids
That ignition switch is a mutherfucker
We like it alot
Where did you mount your amp
Question..why did you put the old 5 1/4 speaker ring over the new 6 1/2speaker rings, when you dont have to?
I wish you had turned it up. Any distortion?
OH snap....I didn't know this video was that old 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Thanks👍 for the Tips
The list the parts? or any upgrade
2003 Harley Electra Glide
How'd you mount the amp?
Very, very nice.
I'm going tried to do the same.
But it's very difficulty to find some parts in europe.
:(
Thank you for sharing

How has this held up over the years?
I'm wondering the same. I'm also curious of todays price point lol
Great Job! I'm looking to do the something. The power & ground cables you bought, were they for the amp? also how did you wire the rears? did you buy a pre wired harnees? Thanks
Are the rear speakers waterproof? Sorry you may have mentioned it in the video but I’m a little stoned right now. Good video man
Hey boss I know this video is old but I have a few questions. Are those speakers waterproof, I love on the east coast. Weather is what it wants to be. Also, will all the mods translate to an 03 ultra classic Electra glide
The buttons on the JVC head unit look a bit small for gloved hands. How are they working out for you when you are not using the handlebar control?
Great job!
So at what point did you realize that you no longer had a motorcycle but you now had a 2 wheel stereo system???
Do you still have the bike and do you still like the the sound system?
Amazon tells me the front adapter kits won’t fit my 09 ultra?
So after how many years are you still happy with this setup? I have a 2002 electra glide classic myself. Is there anything you would change since using it longer?Also how did you affix the amp in the fairing
I made an alum plate that bolted to the batwing inner stereo deck plastic surround and bolted amp to that, But alot of people double sticky velcro amp on top of deck
Where did you mount the amp?
How did you hook up 4channel amp to speakers? Did you hook up both front and back inputs from radio to amp ?
The deck (just) rear output (R and L) I plugged splitters into each one basically doubling the deck;s rear out puts. These then (2 left and 2 right deck outputs )now plug into the 4 channel amp. I then made sure the 2 right deck inputs that feed the amp make the amps power go to the both right bags 6x9's and same for the left side. I hope that's what you where asking. So now I can fade from the deck front to rear and side to side. I mounted the Kenwood amp in my right saddle bag. And mounted the Dual amp right on top of headunit that powers the 2 batwing speakers.
Also I have 2 speakers in on my tour pack, will it still work with all this
no bass?
nice video dude
where can i buy this
Where can I get those saddlebag straps?
Nice. You could’ve used a bigger amp. Those speakers have way more potential
was the original amp under the tour pack? Did you just remove that harness?
cuevas72 No, did not remove any harnesses, simply. Unplugged the original head unit from the factory harness and plugged the new one in. Very simple. No amp on the factory stereo, it was all one self contained unit. .
that amp is not a 600 watt amp. its a 300 watt amp (when ran at 2 ohms). the max power sticker on the front is false advertisement. here's the manufacturer website link showing its true power www.kenwood.com/usa/car/marine/kac-m3004/
pick up a soundz 100.4 amp or a rockford fosgate tm400x4ad ( i recomend the soundz amp), both are designed marine grade and both come in kits for harleys. pricey but double the power and smaller than this kenwood. if you changed that into this system it will scream twice as loud. those db's can handle the extra power.
This amp pulls over 700W Dynamic. Everyone puts MAX watts on box to sell. But I know where your coming from,
What size power wire?
What Sunset said...
Appreciate the video well done
HEAD UNIT AMPS WON'T GIVE YOU THE CLARITY YOU WILL GET FROM USING ANOTHER AMP
Where yall located at
Sounds like factory
You need more power
Not pronounced Maystro...
Pronounced Mystro.
Begat speakers
P
I found this video and bought the same exact set up, totally disappointed. really wish I would have gotten another system.
What were you disappointed about? I would say not having amp on the front speakers & having different amp totally for the rear would be the down fall
it's really clear, just not loud enough for me and feel no bass response at all. Total waste of money. Only difference is I got the Aquatic AV stereo
Yeah I think its definitely the amp choice! You definitely to to add a amp, & go with something different than the kenwood. I'm bout to add my audio, I went with the pole mm series 6.5 & 6x9's. I have the Rockford lid kit. Rockford pbr400x4d amp, & diamond micro4v2. I couldn't see paying for the Aquatic radio, j just went with jvc.
I dont know how you feel bout your bag space, but it's a guy on called (money cars stereos) he use a lot of pioneer & put together some killer system check him out
its a frankinstine lol its alive its alive
All I seen was " look at what I got" useless video.
You never put up what all you got and from where you bought everything.
