Audio System upgrade
I have an 05 ultra with a completely stock audio system. I would really like to upgrade. I have a budget of about $500. I am considering the Hogtunes Big Ultra Kit. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance

Hey Glen,
$$$ for $$$ you can do much better than the Hog Tunes.
Get a hold of Haze with Bagger Audio Labs (they are a sponsor on this forum)
Let him hook you up with a system, They really know their stuff and take care of their customers

I think for the $500 buck range ur gonna be buying ur stuff from the big box stores that buy that stuff by the shipping cartons thus Haze will be able to provide really damn good guidance but doubt BAL is putting together packages in that price range.
Reach out to him for sure!!! Also do some searching on the Forum as I bet there have been several folks diving into this same exact setup within the last couple of weeks. Good info being exchanged.

JL Audio MHX-280/4 amp = $149.99 @ Crutchfield
Infinity Kappa 62.11i = $109.99 x 2 pair = $219.98 @ SonicElectronix
Rockford Fosgate PMSA65 Speaker Adapters = $24.99 @ SonicElectronic
Poly-fill to wrap around back of speakers = $5.00 @ Walmart
Miscellaneous wire, wire ties & fuse holder = $25.00
Total = $424.96
A Brand New 4 speaker upgrade, $75.00 under budget and it will smoke the Hogtunes.

Ranger -
The JL 280/4 won't push the infinity Kappas @ 70 watts per channel. That amp performs best bridged with two 4 ohm speakers. Those Kappas need at least 150w to make em sing.

Although rated at 70 watts per channel, the dyno test from Sonic shows 122 Watts per channel Certified RMS @ 2 ohms.
Based on those numbers, do you think it's a little light for the Kappas?
The Soundstream PN4.520D is 130 watts @ 2 ohms, but the sound quality isn't as good as the JL.
I was happy when I ran the Kappas in the fairing with the PN2.350D, but that was 175 watts @ 2 ohms, which concurs with your 150 watt suggestion.

What about the Polk MM651's with the JL amp?
They're currently the same price as the Kappas ($109.99 per pair) @ Crutchfield, so glenc would still be under $500.00.
Before we get too far, I guess we need to ask glenc if he's wanting a 2 or 4 speaker upgrade. I assumed 4 speakers, since the Hogtunes set-up he referenced was a 4 speaker.

I really think that JL280/4 is best served in the sled audio world as a bridged amp powering 2 speaks.
If he wants 4 speaks I think we need to try and find him a good yet inexpensive 4 channel amp that will fit on the HU.
The kicker being the desire to keep FM which hand cuffs u in a big way.
