Re: Street Glide fairing speakers
Like the others, I have the Hog Tunes and amp, and it rocks. I'm getting ready to add the two separate tweeter speakers too.

Re: Street Glide fairing speakers
I have the Hogtunes and they are great. I also suggest the amp as it gives you more headroom before distorting. If you decide on going with the polk audio make sure the ohms are correct for you application.

I have the Hogtunes speakers replacing the factory speakers and also added the hogpod tweeter system (no amp) works great, plenty loud, no distortion.

Hogtunes are great. No distortion at even the most extreme level. I don't think an amp is needed.

This week I will add the Hogpods.

Remember....with the Hawgwired amp or the Biketronics amp you are increasing the output to 65+ watts per channel continous, make sure the speakers you buy are rated for the high wattage. Your not going to find any "cheap" speakers that will handle 65watts continous power. Make sure any amp you buy has a "gain" adjustment and a "Frequency" adjustment (Not just a 3 position switch). When you get it installed turn the frequency to the highest setting, turn the gain almost all the way up, turn on the CD player (low volume) and turn it up until it "Chips", turn the gain down and the cd back up until the cd player is near full volume without chipping. To adjust more bass in, turn the fequency down and then adjust the gain down to stop the chipping. Remember you don't hear the bass at high speed anyway so if you want to listen to music at 70 plus your better off with more mid to high range volume than bass. Oh by the way I have the Hawgwired 2/150 amp and a set of sweeeet JL Audio 5.25's. I can hear mine at 80+......so can the guy riding next to me. If ya got something to say.....say it loud so everyone can hear.

Re: Street Glide fairing speakers
Dr.D made a reference to the DynaXorb sound absorber to go in the fairing to avoid unwanted "resonances" as well as the Hogtunes and Amp...this is a pdf of that sound absorbing material...

Hogtunes has speaker/amp packages that usually get great reviews. I have J&M speakers and they're really an improvement over stock, too.
Dr. is one 6" X 6" piece of the dynaxorb directly behind each speaker enough? The stuff is pretty darn expensive to do the entire inside of the fairing.
