Stereo Upgrade

[Freebird]

Just had the stereo and n the Roadglide upgraded.   Tim’s Stereo was in Cleveland and I had him add the Soundz 500 watt amp, dsp, and speakers.  Fantastic sound.

Earbuds with noise cancellation is the way to go, I cant even hear the bike run now.

  I kinda like to hear the motor purring along.   

  I have the same tape in the tape deck from when I bought the bike....Molly Hatchet.   LOVE "Dreams I'll Never See".

To answer the question.  No, I do not have the bag speakers.  I debated that option for a while but decided against them.  The stock system was almost good enough so I decided to just upgrade the fairing speakers and add the 500 watt amp.   I’m not at all disappointed.   The sound is much cleaner and plenty loud.  On the 40 minute ride to the shop, mostly freeway and 70 mph, I had it set on full volume.  On the ride home after the upgrade I ran mostly at 50% volume and the sound was great.  He was prepared to do the bag speakers if I wanted to but of course it would have meant I would have given up my bag covers, cutting the lids, etc.   I like the bag covers and the demo I listened to convinced me that I would be happy with just the fairing speaker, dsp, and amp.    I didn’t want to lose my covers and pay another $1,000 for the bag speakers, larger amp, etc.
