Anybody experienced thier speakers going bad prematurely? Purchased a 05 ultra in aug. 07 with just over 3k miles on it. Right front speaker dead within 3 months. Checked the connections to the speaker, is there something else to check for?

 

Stock Harley speakers are crap. Several after market speakers available. I put Hog Tunes in my RG and love them. Some other brands have been discussed here before. Query speakers and you will come up with lots more info.

Also get the amp if you can, huge difference.

 

I also installed hogtunes speakers in my ultra. In my opinion they sound much better than stock. They are also warrantied for 20yrs. I am sure there are other speakers out there that sound good too. I only have experience with the stockers, hogtunes and some bolt on speakers I had on my last bike.

 

Spoke to the techy @ hogtunes in mid-december. He advised that if you want a amplifier ,then wait until sometime shortly into the New Year as they have something in the works that will be worth waiting for.

 

Well damn, now I guess I have to wait longer now.. oh well, waited this long a bit longer will not be a big deal.

 

don't wait just order the arc mini.
i just installed 4 5025`s and the mini. and man it is better than i ever thought it could be. i`m very impressed

 

What do the hog tune speakers sell for? At this point, just looking for a cheap replacement until I can afford to up grade.

 

For cheap replacements,look on Ebay.You may even find some stock replacements to hold you over.
I'm sure the Hog Tunes are around $100

 

got mine from Eastern Performance cycle's Ebay store,$81.50 to my door!
