I haven't dug into it just yet, its completely stock so far except for audio. I've been collecting parts, and will start on it soon.

The lowers:

 

Sweet!! I'll be like a kid at Christmas waiting!!

 

Thanks for the pic. So how much modding did you have to do to get that 7.1 to fit in the lower? Did it just drop in?

 

It wouldn't fit in the recessed area but fits snug just outside of the recess with spacers, longer screws and a little foam for a gasket.

 

Trying to bring this thread back to the subject listed....Lol....Wanted opinions on this setup Biketronics is offering. I have a 2016 Road Glide Special, I know Biketronics is a great company and has a lot of supporters here (rightfully so) with all the great reviews I have read. I am just looking for a fairing (2 speaker) system. I know some may say a little pricey, but I rather pay now and be (fingers crossed) done then go through a bunch of different trials only to get to this point. I guess my only concern about the Hertz or any of the higher end products is will they last. Not being water proof and all. Not that I ride in down pours, but want to make sure they can get a little wet (like washing and cleaning the bike or those rain storms we all have to ride through) and not worry the cones will dry out or damage the speakers. I will wait to hear the responses.

 

No such thing as waterproof electrical stuff. Cover it with a scotch guarded / camp dry product and ride on. Use common sences when spraying a garden hose directly into the grills, or not.

As for the package, it's not the Hertz 1650.3 System so no telling how the conglomerate products will come together.

Dive in and let us know how it goes!!!! Mike and gang at BT usually do a very good job at end user demands so I bet it does pretty good.

I agree with T. This is not Biketronics first rodeo with the Hertz speakers. I purchased their Hertz speakers years ago and never had a problem with rain or the speakers getting wet. Very durable speakers!! I'd say Biketronics has done their homework as always and this new two speaker system will be very good for those fortunate enough to afford it. Those new speakers are about as high end as it gets for our sleds!!

 

IMO...what BT has done is went outside their "Box" to provide Late model Roadglide owners with a high level alternative to their other offerings for 15 and up Roadglides

Knowing BT, I bet this system sounds BADASS

Of course my opinion and $5 will get you a small coffee at Starbucks

 

The ml1650 is the best Hertz midbass they can buy individually. I bet they would have went with ml165 ,but since not available individually this was the best route. Also the neo magnet provided a minimal mounting depth. Surely an amazing package.

 

Yes, Biketronics is a great company and this new RG package looks like a winner. It may seem pricey but to do it right the first time with a plug & play kit is certainly worth a try. BT also has a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Hard to beat that!

This Hertz solid cone woofer is probably less susceptible to water damage than a coax speaker. Some coax speaker can leak water around the tweeter stalk and cause internal damage. As T mentioned a water repellent grill cloth is a very good idea. I use in all my speakers. As for the tweeter it's a BT part and warranted for life. I say go for it and let us know how it works out!!!
