RE: Anyone done HOGTUNES with an AMP on a StreetGlide?
I just added the HD amp to my stereo with Hogtunes speakers all around. It really makes a huge difference and my ears actually hurt after a short period. However, I don't get much more bass out of the speakers but they are much much louder and very clear. Pez approved the HD amp install after I sent several e-mails about getting a little more volume out of the stereo. I wonder what the dealer would have charged to install the amp ??

If you want really good sound, get some J&M 7.255" speakers and their 250W amp to go with it. then add the Hogtunes tweeter pods and you will be set. That is what we all run at the shop. I am not knocking other speakers or brands, but we ran Hogtunes for a while and this sytem is head and shoudlers above them in my opinion.

Give Wayne (FireCap511) a call before you blow more money. He set me up nicely with Hertz 6.5's and ARC 250wt Amp. WOW is all I can say. You have to remember these are bikes and do not have the best acoustics. I am very pleased with my setup and I don't know how it could be any better without getting crazy and adding a sub in a bag or something.

Heard some hogtunes the other day and liked them. I would like to do this upgrade, but what would really make it awesome is to be able to plumb in an AMP! Most AMP solutions that I have seen or heard about are like the HD solution, and dependent on a tourpak. (They are mounted to the rigid TourPak) I don't want a TourPak. Nothing against them, just don't want one. Anybody tried to plumb an AMP in the front fairing? Or somewhere else? I want to end up with HOGTUNES in the fairing, and a little bit of amplification.. say, another 25 to 50 watts...
Happy 4th a little early, I am out for a few days to get the mitt fixed!

I have lowers and have considered adding the speakers to replace the glove boxes, but I'm happy with the status-quo and will likely not make that upgrade.

If you already have the HT speakers you'll need to call them for this package, as it isn't on the website. I wouldn't use the amp with the stock speakers if that's your plan. I wouldn't bet they could handle the increased output even though it isn't a huge change.
