I am curious, does anyone have a 2 speaker street glide setup that is actually loud enough to enjoy at 75 mph? Or is my standards too high since I am coming from a 4 speaker Hawg wired road glide bike that absolutely f'ing screamed all day long.

Could it be my head unit? Even though I replaced that thing like 5 times? I have pioneer bt7700.

I have the 7.1 PROS and if I shut my other 8 speakers off I can hear them a block away. Expectations are not too high. Those are going to be the BEST speakers you can put in your fairing hands down but you need to carefully tune them to your HU. As Haze said something is wrong with your set up. When you get your new set I suggest you use a DMM to tune your system. Lucky for you those speakers have a lifetime warranty. If they were any other speakers you would be SOL.

I had Hawg Wired in my 09 Streetglide and I rocked out all the time never had a problem. Now with my 2016 I keep blowing speakers. Banging my head looming for a solution.

I you're running a Hawg Wired amp and speakers I'd hold their feet to the fire and make them send you a replacement every time one of their POS takes a dump or issue you a refund. They shouldn't be throwing you out to dry after spending that kind of cash.

Switched to Focals upfront and JL Audio 8.8s in the bags, went with JL Amps, and its much louder, much clearer, and more importantly doesnt blow out.

Just hold a Hawg Wired or Biketronics speaker next to a Focal K2 speaker. Set aside all the BS warranty claims. paperback speaker vs. Kevlar speaker. Not even close.

Good luck man, I hope you get it figured out.
