I am looking to improve the performance of the stock 2001 SERG Radio and was looking at the Hogtunes 5" x 7" Hybrid 2 ohm speakers with a Hogtunes 32 watt/channel amp with MAXXBASS.
According to my owners manual my stock system is 40 watt/channel with 8 ohm speakers.
I don't know anything about this stuff by Hogtunes says their amp and speaker system is an improvement.
My question: Is the 2001 SERG Radio, at 40 amps, bigger then the non SERG system? Is the 32 watt with 2 ohm 5x7 speakers an improvement over what I have?
Thanks

Do a search on the new Rockford Fosgate PBR 300 x4. There are some good write ups on the forum.

Let the cd player go and just use a cheap MP3 player or gps to store and play your tunes.  Doc

We took out our cd but how do I get the mp3 plug to work? I assume the cd player took its plug.

If you are simply bolting in speakers on that year radio, you shouldn't go less than 6 ohms or you will run the risk of damaging the radio.  If you are bolting in a speaker/amp setup from Hog Tunes they will be matched and you will use the speakers Hog Tunes supplies.

From 1998 until 2005 the speakers were 8 ohms from the factory.  This represents a high resistance for the radio amp to drive through.  Lower the resistance too much and the radio overheats/gets damaged (in simplest terms).  Installing 6 ohm speakers keeps it all ok and it performs and sounds better. 

In 2006 they went to 2 ohm speakers.
