Has anybody tried to install rear speakers on their tour pak?   [smiley=nixweiss.gif]My dealer says he doesn't think it can be done.

[JCZ]

Why doesn't he think it can be done?  Be very leery of your dealer......he doesn't know his product.

Your bike is prewired.  You'd have to get the speaker boxes that bolt to your tour pak and then the speakers....it's not uncommon for Electra Glide Classics and even Standards to put speakers on the tour pak.  My partner put quick release plugs in the wires so that he could take his trunk off the bike.

From what i can find out the stereo is only wired for front speakers, and would have to be returned to to vender to have this added if they would do it. [smiley=nixweiss.gif]They called spoc @ Hd and got no answer one why or the other.

Mr. Magoo I've got a friend that works in the offices at World Headquarters....I'll shoot him an email and get back to you on this.

It never occured to me that they would have wired the Screamin Eagle bike differently than the other Electra Glides (as far as wiring goes).

[mr_magoo]

They tell me it's the new stereo that was put in the screamin eagle electra glide is only designed for front speaker. Don't care if it can't fade front to rear but she wants music.

I'm going to be in the same boat, when mine gets here in Feb.  Hell, I already ordered the tour pak and speaker boxes.

I also know that the SEEG has a different stereo than any other Electra Glide.  Ours has a built in amplifier and the others put the amplifier under the tour pak.

If you're willing to give up the seperation, then I would think we could splice in to the front speaker wires.  Somebody who is a little more savy on the electronics can probably give us some direction here.

I can't get a response to my email fast enough, thow.

Looking at the radio today, it is true!  You can not add rear speakers to our bikes as their is no external outputs to connect to the external amplifier.  If one were to try and connect to the rear amplifer with the leads to the front speakers you would have some matching (impeadance and the such) to really get it to work.

Just not worth it!  

[mr_magoo]

Someone is not going to be happy to learn that.  Still hoping that I may be able to send it to the vendor to fix this.

I still haven't got the "official" response on this yet (I did on the in-dash oil temp guage and I'll post that in that thread).  I do know that the stereo in the SEEG is different from all other stereos in that it has an internal amplifier.  Does that mean that we still can't splice in the rear two speakers (via a quick disconnect lead) and just live without fade???   I don't know.....one of those electronic wizards will have to answer that question.

[mr_magoo]

No sounds like something that you would have to open the unit up to do,  and then install rear leads out if possible. Where there a will theres a way.

[jfscheck]

You could ditch the stereo and purchase the Ultra enhanced stereo (is it 70watts x 4?) have a CB to boot.

But, due (on our bikes) to the amplifier being installed in the head unit, you can't take the L and R outputs and feed two seperate amps.

[mr_magoo]

 That would be an option, but you would think you could get the stock one fixed.  Who wants a $1500 stereo sitting on a shelf. I find it hard to believe  HD didn't think we would want rear speakers.

[JCZ]

I got an email from my friend at HD yesterday.  He got a response back regarding rear speaker hook up on our bikes, however, it was incunclusive.  He's digging deeper but HD is shut down till Dec. 5th so it will be after that.

He's also going to try to find out the best performance exhaust for our bike (no, it will not necessarily be HD.....he has a lot of aftermarket stuff on his bike).  He's also going to try to find out the ship date for the orange and black bikes, too.
