So I'm a little lost when trying to put together a speaker/amp kit for my SG. I was considering the HogTunes combo but the reviews seem pretty mixed on them. Can you guys recommend a speaker/amp kit that is plug and play?


Thanks in advance!

No system out there is truly plug and play. You are still going to have to remove seat, tank and fairing to install and run power and ground wire. If you are comfortable making a few wire connections you can do much better by piecing a system together. What's your budget and end goal ( how many speakers and what locations) for this adventure? That will help the guys point you in the right direction

No kit is truly plug & play. They all take some sort of wiring to accomplish. Now that that's on the table, what are your end goals and budget. When the sandbox is identified, everyone can tell you what toys to bring to it.


Edit.... that's funny right there USA!!!!

I meant plug and play in the sense of not cutting/splicing/ wires. My goal is to be able to actually hear my radio above 70mph with clarity and some bass increase. It's only the two front fairing speakers. I would prefer to keep the price around $500.

Bass is hard to get on a bike. I'll let some of the smart guys chime in for best results on a rushmore

Nowhere near his $500 budget though.

Did you even read the whole thread? He clearly said around $500 and you suggested something more than double that. That doesn't make any sense or provide any useful information
