Who is the main point of contact for the Hawg Wired program?  Website or do we have a contact who is familiar with this organization?  Any discounts?

This is one mod I would consider AFTER I get a chance to hear what the stock system sounds like.

Are the HD stores familiar with these products and would you trust them to do the install? Or should I attempt to do this on my own  (That could be VERY risky )  Anyone recommend a good shop in the DFW area to help on this install if I decide to go this way?

Thanks,

John

John;
I am a Hawg-wired dealer and can help you with any questions you have on the products. I have sold and installed many, many systems in many different configurations. Also site members do get a discount as well

As far as the install goes I can let you know another dealer in your area that has done these. If there is not one I will be happy to assist the shop you decide to do the install for you over the phone.

I just wonder if the following will work.

For front speakers (4 speakers) the amps are at the front in behind the dash where the radio unit is. For rear in its normal place i.e. under the pak.  I am not planning to have the pack removable.  I will only have it slightly pushed back to give more room for my other half (using George's kit).

All this if I go with 6 speaker set up.

At the moment I ordered only 4 speaker set up and just started to think if I should install those 4 speakers in their standard place or following harlez4me idea and installing all 4 at the front.

hd-dude - will appreciate your views.

It really comes down to what you want to get out of the system. The 4 channel system in the stock locations produces great sound quality and quantity also 300watts coming at you from the front is a lot of sound. Many feel they don't need the rears. For the passenger some rear sound is beneficial and you may want to have the speakers functional. This can be accomplished by either using part of the factory amp or adding the 2 channel Hawg-wired amp for the rear and removing the HK amp under the tour pack.

I like the rears as it gives a surround sound feel to it. I will PM you about the rest.

Thanks for the reply.

First of all as far as I am concerned there is no such thing as too much sound. I always ride in helmet and this results in a certain quality of sound that I can hear. Generally as discussed during the time of purchase the stock system is not good enough for me.

If I go with the six speaker set up there is no doubt I would want to have Hawg Wired all around.

Finally a question.  If getting another 2 channel amp where would it be installed if not under the tour pak? Again behind the dash?

Thanks

That sounds great.  It has to be good having a resident expert.  It is something I would definitely consider as some of my fist mods.  I just need to spend some time with the stock system to experience true MoCo sound    

Thanks again for the prompt reply.  BTW, what system would I get if I just stick with keeping the TP detached? My bike will hopefully be a 2007 CUSE.

If you just want the 4 speakers in the stock locations you would go with the 4-channel system. I would recomend the CX series speakers in the fairing and the BT series speakers in the rear pods.

The 2 channel amp won't fit with the other stuff in the fairing, you would have to install it in the tourpack or saddlebag. It is very small though 6.5" x 3.75" x 1.75".

Thanks.  I'll add it/them to the "list"

Thanks. I will now have some hard thinking.  Probably will stay with 4 speakers and if I feel somehow unsatisfied will add another 2.

John,

hd-dude was a great with assistance in helping me get the HW kit installed. Phone calls and emails hd-dude was there for support. I did the 4 channel up front so I would recommend that if you can do it, you will learn more about your bike than the guy who installs the kit for you.

I certaintly did learn more doing the install myself and build up more confidence working on the bike to add in more chrome in addition to saving installation $$$.

my 2 pennies worth,

Big Dave.

He is the one and the only.  Absolutely agree. Except that for avoidance of big amount of extra spares I am not planning to take part in installation....

Well put Big Dave

"Learn to do by doing"  If you wanna do it, but are nervous, that means you CAN do it....with the help of many on this site. "The only stupid question is the one you don't ask." The people that DON"T want to do it, should just ride and pay the $$$$$ to the dealer of choice.
This goes with any mod, not just an amp install.

and that is MY 2 pennies worth.

Beautiful bike, any chance you can list the parts you used.

Thanks
