Anyone have suggestions for a good complete stereo setup ?
I still run the factory SE radio and Hawg Wired speakers and at highway speeds or high volume it has really poor sound quality and if I add much bass it sounds like the speakers are gonna pop.
Looking to do a complete swap, head unit, amp and possibly speakers if necessary.
I have had the bike since 08 and had to replace the factory unit twice because the internal amp has gone bad.
Suggestions appreciated.

I run the following in my SEEG
 Sony DSX - M80 (marine head unit) you can customize the LED color to match your dash lights
4- 6.5” Alpine Type R (replaced the glove boxes with speaker pods)
Soundstream PN4.520D 1040W 4 Ch Class D Picasso Series Car Compact Amplifier
Get you a Schoshe steering wheel control so all your thumb controls on your handlebars will work

*no representation is made that the quality of my stereo system is greater than any other system…it’s simply what I have and I am very pleased with it (this statement is for the audiophiles that’ll be along shortly to tell us much better their system is 😂)

Would you happen to have the part number for the Schocse?
I don’t see anything on their website

Scosche LAI10 Link Interface Harness with Steering Wheel Control Retention

I believe this is the one I bought.  Can’t remember if I got it on eBay or Amazon.

Can an amp be added to the stock system?
I read somewhere that it would not work

You’d have to go with a high level input (speaker wires in & out). Or send the head unit off to have low level (RCA) outputs installed.  The high level is not going to sound as good and the low level pre-amp volts are going to be too low….either way, I don’t think you’d be happy with the sound.  Also you have to find components that work with 2ohm speakers, where most quality speakers are 4ohm.

Uh….. that would be a NO

So if you go with an aftermarket head unit, pre-amp volts are key.  You want at least 4 volts but 5 would be better.  There may be units with more but 5 is the most I’ve ever seen.
