Hey Willie, absolutely 4 channels-4 speakers. I’d ask further questions in the Audio forum. Many experienced mates there that can answer any question you come up with and provide excellent recommendations for equipment. Remember it’s on a bike ,in the wind, in the elements, you don’t want just any speaker and amp. They are not created equal.

I have 8 speakers and 2 amps on my 13 Ultra

On my 03 I have a cheap JVC radio, 2 speakers and the HogWired tweeters that go on top of the dashboard.

I get better audio on the 03 than the 13.

I used the rear channels to power the tweeters rather than do a filter.

IMHO when you are in all that wind noise, the tweeters convey more sound than additional speakers., the low mid range and bass is just muddy in the wind noise

The Hog Wired tweeters are short money.

PS if you add lowers to the crash bars, be prepared for wind to be deflected up and into your helmet area
