Default Street glide audio recommendations

I have a 2022 special and it’s decently clear/loud, but I’m looking for something a little better. Are the rockfords from Harley any good? Any other brand recommendations? I’m a bit of an audiophile so mid range quality isn’t for me

I moved this thread to the Audio Section. You will be much better suited to get answers here as opposed to the touring section.

Now to get to your real question.

reading your original post where you say you're a bit of an audiophile and mid range quality isn't your thing. You'll want to stay away from RF systems. They rank as just average plug n play systems.

If you can give a bit of insight to what you want to accomplish and a budget in mind, plenty of folks have run the gamut on components that will get you in a good spot.

I’m interested in amplifier and fairing speakers for sure. Doesn’t seem like much to be gained from bag speakers at highway speeds. May be interested in a sub depending on how noticeable it hits. Not going to spend $1500 to somewhat hear a note.

as far as budget, idk, less than $2000 just for fairing and amp. I’m really just open to anything bad ***

look up cicada audio. installed system on my 08 ultra. Amp is a dsp150.4, has built in dsp. two horn 6.5 in fairing ch65.2 in two ohm along with 6.5 ch65.2 coaxials in tour pak pods. All in 2 ohm. awesome sound quality and build quality. Call the company and you will likely speak with the owner Larry, has been in the business a long time, great to talk with. just my experience and thoughts. good luck

Where you at in NC?

Subs take a LOT more work than just installing the speakers, FYI. You need sealed and or ported bags.

There is some value to other speakers in the rear, but yes most lower freq is lost at higher speeds. I still enjoyed my speaker lids in my last bike, but I get WAY more sound from my fairing and lower fairing speakers I have now.
