'17 CVOSG ongoing blown speakers problem
#11
My buddy got a 2017 cvo SG and I was impressed by the sound of the system sitting still. I was leaning on getting one until I saw the ann. standard SG. I have since learned that the boom has a different eg delivery set up for sitting still on acc and running down the road. Go figure. Like I always say, buy your system for riding 70-80 mph.

I just found this thread. I too have a 17 CVO SG. I have the lowers so have have the 3 amp system. Bike is in the shop now with a blown bag speaker and upper front. Second time in for this problem. I was told to keep my bass and treble at the neutral position. I have never changed that and never turned up above 6 or 7. Very frustrated but to upgrade to the Rokker system and keep the boom amps I am seeing about 15K. I have a 7 year extended so I guess the MOCO will be replacing them for a while. Thanks for everyones input.

Speaker problem
I bought my '17 CVOSG back in May '17, new. I've ridden about 15k miles since. Bike has been flawless except for routinely blowing out my saddle bag speakers. I'm on my 3rd replacement on the right side (which just started rattling bad again a few days ago) and 2nd on the left. My experience is... all is good clean sound, then suddenly I notice bad rattling with the bass. Sure enough, dealer says blown speaker and replaces it. Granted, it's all under warranty but it's a PIA!! I have the bass and treble at +2 past center, which isn't extreme, and the highway sound adjustment at 1. I usually listen at about half or less of max volume. I listen mostly to hard rock/metal which has a lot of hard hitting base. But still, the Boom2 should be able to take it, right?? Curious... Does anyone have this ongoing problem? Thanks!

I have heard that before also along with having a back order on replacement speakers for the guys under warranty repair. Adam, if you are determined to keep the boom setup, the Rockford fosgate tms57 is a direct fit on the rear lids and plugs into the stock wiring. They will sound decent also.

On my third set of saddlebag speakers, some songs still sound terrible. Not what I expected from a $40,000 machine😳

I have had 2005, 2012, and now 2016 CVO Ultra/Limited's. I never pushed the sound system and never had a problem, but my 2016 just blew a front fairing speaker. Of course I am out of warranty. Checked online and pair of speakers with grills is $199 less my discount. Called the dealer and asked to order a replacement speaker. He said it would be $179 with discount! I asked if that included installation. Nope. When I asked how could it be that a pair of "upgrade" speakers with grills could be the same price as one replacement speaker, he didnt know. No wonder Harley is in trouble. They dont even bother to hide the way they rip you off. On a positive note, the new pair of speakers shows a revision to the part number so maybe they fixed the design. I'll know tomorrow.
