Default Road King Systems - show & tell

Hi all,

Need some advice got rid of my fatboy and ultra a year ago or so. I miss my bike looking to get a road king soon but will need my tunes.

Please can people post their systems and ideas, videos etc.... need some inspiration.

On my ultra had eight speaker set up upgraded head unit and amp. All sony and Rockford Fosgate miss the sounds.

Any help very grateful

Cheers Richard

The best way I know to get great sound out of a road king is to buy a Streetglide instead.

Obviously I'm kidding. They are a little harder though because it's tough to get good sound in front of your face. If it were me I'd wanna add lowers with pro audio speaks at the very least. Then go to work on those bags!

Take a look at the offerings from Twisted Audio, Reckless Motorcycles, and eGlideGoodies.

on a Roadking......lower crash bar with pods, some double up 6X9 lids and a 10 in each bag with a bluetooth receive and EQ in the bags. You'll hear that on the road!

Hey Alex,
Sounds like that setup would rock. When guys run 8's and 10's in their bags are you guys isolating the speakers from the rest of the bags airspace? Is it different depending on if it's a sub or a pro audio speak?

Thanks for the responses all.

I still have the cyclesound lids from my ultra fitted with RG 6x9's also have a set of 5.25 shallow RF's never used, plus the RF mini amp. Thought about getting some speakers for the crash bar, and changing out the speakers for more powerful seen this done a couple of times. As for speakers remember all it rains here in the UK a lot, and I ride in the rain quite a lot.

Should I stay with the RF speakers i have or change them up any ideas.
Also for Amp stick with the RF mini or change up, please remember I want to keep as much space in the bags as I can.

Also for source I could use an IPOD/MP3 but would be better to use my phone, connection wise to the amp please can you make some suggestions. Bluetooth receiver could you please post some pics or videos never seen one.

I have seen the whole dash concept and hiding your phone in the dash console area.

Thanks

Richard

Whole point of a Road King is not having all that **** on it. By the time you dump the money on extra's the SG would have been cheaper.......


Ipod and a helmet with blue tooth speaker pockets.
