Radio and amp performance
« on: March 10, 2025, 09:57:10 PM »

I’m curious how well you can hear the radio at highway speeds 75mph.
I’m considering buying the factory amp and new speakers for fairing, but am concerned it won’t be enough power for me and my passenger to hear riding on interstate.

Personally, I would never buy ANY factory stereo components. Better options out there. Harley is great at producing poor quality,  under performing, overpriced audio. Checkout Volunteer Audio.

Place out in Harrison? If I was gunna have work done or look for local components. Agree with staying away from oem stuff. Much better speakers and class d amps out there. Sound is easy diy. Gotta say, my MMATS amp and speakers rock!  Hear  my jams @ well above 75mph. (And do so regularly  8))
