Default Audio boom upgrade

Been looking to upgrade my 2014 sgs audio. I'm looking for the two fairing speakers and amp plug and play setup with stock radio. So for i'm leaning toward the J&M ROKKER® XXR EXTREME 330w 2-Speaker/Amplifier Installation Kit for 2014-17 Harley® StreetGlide/Ultra. If there is a better setup like that out there i would like to hear about it cause i want to buy one time and be done with that. Any input will be appreciated thanks.

I think you're going to get a lot of recommendations to stay away from J&M setup. There are some very solid two speaker fairing only setups out there besides that.


No system will be fully plug and play. If you're adding an amp, which you should, the tank is coming off and power and ground is going to be ran to the battery.

Send a note to alex@baggeraudiolab.com. He is a sponsor here and will take care of you. He's been a great resource to the forum.

I would recommend a JL MX500/4, DD Audio AW 6.5 with either BT30 or AT28 tweeters and a Biketronics BT355 Line leveler. This will require the speaker pods to be removed and replaced with Biketronics brackets, but for the money you're looking to spend with JM, this system should eat its lunch and be in the ballpark on price.

Shoot ot a note to Alex and let him help you.

Have u heard those Speaks? Was at a gathering the other night and a dude had 4 RF 6x9s in his bags, 2 RF midrange in fairing, and 2 Mojo horns.
Not gonna comment on the sound but it is very unique as is BT, J&M, ARC, etc.... U got to hear it before u go down that road.

Several guys in the audio section really know their stuff when it's comes to audio. Tailwind being one of them. They have tried many combos and knows what works and what doesn't. They will help you spend your money wisely and get you something great.

That's a nice setup. But where would the tweeters go at on the fairing.

Some people mount the tweets in the grills. Do a search on member covert olds and check out how he mounted his. It's pretty slick.
