I know people get tired of hearing how good the Hawg Wired system is but,
I have to add more.


Took the 03 Classic out tonight for some exercise.
Set on 100 mph the stereo is crystal clear and loud.
It is worlds better than the enhanced Harley system.
Installation took about two hours and is very easy.
I recommend this system to anyone that wants to upgrade to quality sound at a reasonable price.
Again, thanks Jim!

It's not about the color.... it's all about the strategy. Chip will understand. :sneaky:

Jim, a friend here has had the red bike for a couple of days while his was down.  He's come away a believer in the audio and will likely buy this "Direct Connect" variant.  Post back a current price please and I'll let him know.

Don,
The amp retails at 499.95, SX speakers are 179.95 10% off these prices.

As an alternate you can get the CX speakers which are a tad better as they are components. These retail at 229.95. With the CX series you will have to cut your factory female spades off and solder or crimp the CX crossover wires to them.

Will pass the data along Jim.  If you get a call from Walter in Joplin that's the buy.  Having the red bike for a couple of days left him Jonesing for at least cams and the audio.  Doubt his Mrs. will let him do both at the same time though ;D .

To everyone...thanks for spending my money!  After seeing the feedback on the Hawg Wired system, I bent Jim's ear for a bit on the phone today and took the plunge on the Four in the Face System. Thanks Jim for the advice and I will report back with results.

Wanted to add one more thing here.

I love my 03 Classic, even more now with the Hawg Wired.

Before the Hawg Wired install Nancy and I took it on a trip.

We both noticed the fairing shaking more that we were use to and at idle it was real noticeable.

Taking everything apart for the Hawg Wild install I realized why.

The two brackets that support the top half of the fairing were broken.

I made two angle brackets to replace them and all is well.

So if your getting lots of shake out of your fairing check those brackets.

I would bet one if not both are broke.

Jim, Thanks for the system...It sounds great!  Went with the four channel system.  Install was straight forward.  Only snag was length of cable had to be added for the crossover for the speakers in the lowers.  Had a question about removing the speaker support brackets.  What effect will it have on my batwing?  They had to be removed based on the speakers and the placement of the amps.  Boy is there alot of stuff under that batwing now. Clarity is fantastic.

The next time you have the fairing off, I would reinstall the metal braces.  They can be easily be bent/tweaked using a pair of channel locks and pliers.  If you do a search, several people including 2Lanerider (Don) has pictures of the HW speakers and amps attached to them (brackets). 

Read 3 posts above by Silver/Black (Chip) on broken braces.

Allright chime in here....can someone help me out with photos of the cx speakers, the 4 channel amps, and the speaker support bracket mounted.  I searched for an hour and half and could not find any.  Thanks
