Street Glide Speakers blown
« on: October 08, 2016, 12:20:05 PM »
My 15 Street Glide needs to have all speakers replaced..

the tweeter and midrange speaker in saddle bags don't work at at all

the main speakers in the fairing sound awful.

has anyone else had this problem?

Wondering if it could be amps?

Any insight will be greatly appreciated

LOL....so what you were thinking.....if you had some Harley speaker they would be blown? 

What good is having 600 watt of power is you can't crank it up?

Time to bite the bullet and put it in something good. . No matter how many times you change out junk, you still have junk. . Just newer junk. .  Do you really think that junk isn't going to fail again??? . Your problem is not ever going to improve until you guys decide to put in something good. . I don't have any issues..  But I have the the speakers and amp that causes the problem to go away. . . Just my. 02.  Stuart.

Agree with Stuart, I went through a bunch of speakers before I finally caved and put in good stuff. On my new bike I am doing it the day I get it home and hoping the stock "stuff" makes it the 1500 mile journey to get home. I think it comes down to how loud you listen to your music. I have a couple of buddies that have never had an issue with the Boom system but they wear half helmets and don't like loud music. I wear a ff helmet and faster I go the louder I turn it up..

2015 SG, had the right rear blow on the 60 mile ride home from the dealer when I picked it up.  It went back 3-4 times before they finally found a bad wiring harness, once that was replaced no issues.  I ride with a half face and rarely crank it up over 1/2 way so that could be adding to the life of the speakers.   :drummer:

Yes, Arc 600 series amps and Focal speakers. You won't blow that up. Check out Soundz Customz level V. I used my local guys but used their system they recommend for best bagger sound and it truly is terrific!

Is it possible to just upgrade to the focal speakers on the 17 CVO SESG?  Would it be worth it just so you do not keep getting the blown speakers I read about?

I did the same as Alan. . ARC 600W amp with great focal speakers. . . You have to change the amp. . Your amp sucks. . A big part of the problem you are having. . You should want to get that pos out of there.  Do it once. . You'll be happy. . . Stuart
