I was having a hell of a time hearing my speakers on the freeway. I ended up picking up some of those foam earplugs from work to cut down on the wind, thinking since I couldn't hear the speakers anyway, I might as well protect my hearing. To my amazement, I was able to hear the speakers more clearly with the foam earplugs in than out.

Makes sense, I guess, because they cut out the higher pitch sounds of the wind. Thought I would share that, which you guys probably have known for a while anyway.

On a side note, I was thinking of swapping out the stock speakers at some point, but wanted to know if anyone has aftermarket ones and what they thought about the sound at freeway speeds with aftermarket pipes...i.e. can you still hear the music over all that noise with/without earplugs?

 

(EEHHH.......what ya say???)
I just recently installed the Biketroncs 7.1's in both front and rear of my EG, with a 4180 amp of theirs (SONY HU)........I can hear everything in the stereo with after market OPEN fishtails!!!
AMAZING clarity and sound!!

 

Roll up your windows.

 

I have no issues hearing my stereo on the highway...

 

I might have to check into those and see if they have a setup for an SGS. Thanks.

 

Looks like you're running the same setup as MURPHCC1?

 

I had no problem hearing the stock speakers on my 2012 RGC once I got a larger windshield (12" windsplitter). With the stock 4" shield couldn't hear anything once I passed 40mph. With the Biketronics 6.5" speakers it sounds even better....

 

Tried that....didn't help

 

I have no problems with my radio at Interstate speeds (75+) I do turn the volume up more than I would around town. When the wind becomes annoying I use these ear plugs.

If you try ear attenuators, which reduce wind noise and allow ambient sound through, might make you hear the stereo even better.
