Default Hogtunes Suck

I put in Hog tunes amp and speakers. I've blown one speaker on one occasion. The next thing the amp goes it toke three weeks to get a new amp. Now on my way to Key West the amp blows again in Tampa. Be warned Hog tunes SUCK.

Damn that sucks. That’s a nice ride from Tampa to Key West without tunes.

If you desperately need tunes, I’m in Miami and have an extra PBR300X2 you can use for your ride.

Learned that lesson 7 years ago. Sell it and start over. Hog Tunes is basically a minor step up from stock. It's good for what it is. But that's it.

I had the 160 watt 4 channel fail they replaced it 3 weeks later. Had one of the woofers in the lowers blow they replaced that, The cloth on the covers for the woofers in the lowers started to separate they replaced that too. Returns take forever because they are out of the US (canada). I noticed they no longer make the 160 watt amp speaker kit i bought or the woofers for the lowers. To be fair they do support the product but I would rather not need constant support. I was underwhelmed with the sound quality. This weekend I pulled everything hogtunes and bought Infinity Kappa speakers Power Acoustik RZ4-2000D amp almost done installing it.
