Not sure when I will get around to installing a amp. I thought these would at least be as good as the stockers as a drop in. Not. I will post up when I get a amp installed. I do have a BT355.

The line leveler and a amp will make a world of difference.
I put these exact speakers in my RGS, I was not impressed until I added an amp and gave them some power. These are great for a budget build. I used the BT355 and a Cerwin-Vega B52. On the Roadglide I don't think there is an option to mount it on the inside of the pod.

I'm gonna bet a 12 pack that this is all by design. HD is damn good at making shix proprietary thus just grabbing a set of after market speakers just isn't gonna work. Kind of why about 99% of the Rushmore threads on here include the discussion of amps & BT355s, or DSPs, or a new head unit or aggressive flash strategies or???
Start saving and do ur upgrades via proven pathways.
Agreed with other, properly powered, these sound pretty darn good. In my case, I had them in lowers, along with Kappa 6x9 in my lids, powered off a NVX 5 channel amp. Sounded pretty good for what it was. WAY better than my buddy's Boom Stage 6 with regard to clarity and midbass. Hopefully adding power and remounting them as suggested will help you out.
