I thought I would share, some may have seen this already.

Below is some information from one of Harleys competitors on their new 16 release. This bike is coming stock with......

This year, a 200-watt 10-speaker audio system lets you hear your tunes above the roar of the 1731cc V-twin motor. Two 6×9 woofers, two 5.25-inch mid-bass speakers, two 2.5-inch mid-ranges, two tweeters in saddlebags, and two tweeters in the front fairing combine to deliver auditory overdrive. The audio system can fully integrate with any Bluetooth device, and can be controlled through an informational display.

 

200w to that many speakers is not enough and Bluetooth while neat provides lesser SQ than USB stick, CD, etc.

Cool that competitors or industry sees the audio component is growing, but that's nothing too impressive.

 

If they stated 200 watts to EACH speaker. That would be impressive. As it stands we're looking at 20 watts per speaker

 

Yea I agree with you guys, diffidently not going to blow your hear back, I thought for a stock 200whatt set up (included in the price of the bike) it was cool covering lows, mids and highs getting a nice full sound, if you can hear it at 80mph may be another story.

It would be nice if Harley was even close to that wattage on their stock systems.

 

I saw a bike in Cartersville Georgia HD with a sign on stating if I remember correctly 3 300 watt amps with 8 speakers. It was on a new Ultra Limited for $30,000. I didn't get them to turn it on because the guy told me everything came from Harley.
