As as long as you are here to learn, and it appears you are after taking the advice to cancel the order, you will be fine.

Now, what year bike? What model? What do you want to change/add? What is your budget?
Thank you and everyone else for the advice! I am here to learn. I used to do a lot of car audio when I was a teenager but that’s been a while 🤔.

-2013 street glide

-i love the aquatic H/U’s I like the looks and it seems like a decent unit. I personally know a few people who have had good luck with them as well. They blend in nice with the inner fairing.

-400 bucks for amp (don’t mind if it’s 4 or 2 channel) speakers (fairing only) and misc. this isn’t set in stone as I can go up or down.

-I’m looking for something somewhat loud enough and clear enough I can enjoy it on the highway. I don’t need to most incredible thing as I’m trying to be realistic with my price range. Should I be looking in the 75-100 watts rms range for that?

I have both the bass and treble turned down. I wear a shoei full face so it’s pretty quiet with that on. I don’t need it for my music, you can see yourself out now.

I'm certain he will!!!

And I'm not certain what he was referring to either but if it's even close to what I think he might be referring to it has no place on this forum!!!



Moderators, please remove this garbage from this thread. Thanks!!!

I believe he was referring to rap music. I said you can see yourself out now because of that. Not cool at all
