Default Installed Boom Audio Speakers

I just installed the Boom Audio Speakers on my bike. They sound WAY better than I expected. I'm sure they don't compare to the real high dollar systems, but for $150.00 investment and no amp, they sound fantastic. In fact, I just ordered the rear speakers today.

One note: please make sure and reuse the plastic filler piece that goes between the speaker and the fairing. For some reason I missed this step when I first tried to install and almost had a screw come through the front of the fairing.

Thanks for the report. I think I'll go with the Boom speakers in the front. When I'm packed and riding the rear speakers are mostly blocked anyway with my luggage on the passenger seat. I suppose these speakers are standard on the CVO bikes...but not the Limited??

I'm pretty sure that's correct.

Thanks for the info!

I have been thinking of going with the Boom faring speakers and amp on my SG, then adding the saddle bag speakers and lids.

Those base boom ports for your Tour Pak is suppose to be awesome too.
You have to drill a hole in your Tour Pak behind your rear speakers to turn your Tour Pak into a decent thumper of sorts.
