Anyone have any first hand experience with the hogtunes amp/speaker kit for the Rushmore Street Glide? I am looking at audio options and I have used their products before on a 2005 Ultra Classic with good results.

TX in advance

well. how much does that system cost and what is included?

 

I guess that might help, huh? I was thinking of the $429 kit with amp/2 speakers,

my $.02 worth... keep reading this forum, and keep asking questions...you will not be happy with that system goin down the road at 70mph. i started with a pair of hogtune speakers just like that, and for what its worth, they got smoked trying to keep up with a pair of $107 kappa infinity. dont be fooled into plug and play set ups, every amp install includes removing the gas tank and hiding your wires in the tray underneath it.
more members are biund to chime in with suggestions, my best advice is to perhaps spend a bit more the first time and be happy with the results as opposed to trying to sell that system used for half of what you paid for it and then upgrade. i hope this helps

 

I have that set up on my 16 SG, I got it for 320 from partsgiant.com. For a budget set up is not too bad. I know that everyone would prefer to go with a better quality setup, but I've been pretty happy. My bike is bone stock and running down the road at 70+ mph I can hear the stereo just fine. I will admit that the install was a few hours on a Friday evening and now I have the bug to add more speakers. And the most important question is, are you going to keep adding on later, or just stick with the fairing speakers? That will also help point you in the right direction.

Usually the plug and play part refers to the fact that the radio doesn't need to be flashed by the dealer. That was what drew me to the Hogtunes stuff, my nearest dealer is about 120 miles away.

 

I would agree with Yooper

Do some more reading before you jump into a purchase of a plug and play system.

I would suggest do the best you can afford in the fairing set up as it will be the most you would hear going down the road.
If it requires that you to wait a little longer and save up a few more pennies to get The best components you can get. Once you get bite by the audio bug you will be wanting more out of your system in a month or so.

 

Thanks for the feedback thus far, very much appreciate!. With the Mmats PA601.cx being 4ohm wouldn't I loose some volume? If I'm reading it right the Stinger is 175W @ 2ohm, and 125W @ 4ohm?

 

Ummmm

 

Wrong thread! Sorry!
