2015 Street glide upgrade
2015 Street glide upgrade
Hey guys, I'm helping a buddy upgrade his 2015 Street glide. I know it has probably been mentioned a few times in here, but darned if I can find it.
He currently has the factory HU, the factory fairing speakers, the boom audio amp, and 5 x 7" speakers in the lids.
He is planning on keeping the HD HU.
He would like to keep it around $750 if possible, maybe a little higher.
Will he need 1 or 2 of the BT line level converters?
Planning to upgrade lids to 6 x 9". What would be a good speaker choice?
I have the SS PN 4.1000d in my bike and was wondering if it fits in his 2015 and do I need any brackets or is there a better choice amp. B54, or is there better options out there for his set up.
Was thinking Infinity Kappas for the fairing, or would there be a better option in his budget?
Thanks, in advance.

Hey guys, so my buddy has decided to just do this once.
He has a supercharger so a little extra noise to deal with.
So he wants it loud and clear, musical.
He's looking for a good amp, hopefully something that fits in the fairing if possible. Was leaning to the SS PN4.1000D, but open to ideas.
Looking for Coax for the faring, leaning towards the Kappas, but open to better choices.
Has 5x7s, in the lids, planning to convert to 6x9's, leaning towards the DD VO M 6x9's.
BT 355's for line levels.
May consider swapping HU, what a good option there guys?
Thanks

I swapped the HU for the Sony XAV 5000 kit. It's plug and play, and the added benefit is that you get to sell the stock HU. I started with coax in the front (Polk MM) but it wasn't loud enough. Switching now to mmats and horns. I've heard good things about mmats coax, so you might want to research that. The VO 6x9s are a winner everytime.

DB Moto WDX 6 Gen 2 (Gen 1 are too bright) in the fairing and the Mmats 609cx coax in the lids.
U might even reach out to ARC and see if they can cut u a $$ break on the new 602HD as a launch customer. I have a good feeling about those speakers.
Run the stock HU for a bit as there are some folks currently starting to make HUs other than the Sony that might have better SQ and functionality.

I was also considering the AD design CX62 in the fairing. WDX 6 Gen2 a better choice? Better quality, more volume, more efficient, etc?

Regarding the 6.5 speaker question, louder for sure, SQ yes as the ADs never sounded worth a shix crossed below 110, and hands down the WDX are absolutely more efficient.
Without knowing ur buds genres, riding style, etc we are just spit balling regarding the speaker & amp pairings.
So consider saving some money on an amp tray and put it in the amp itself. Stinger? 2X NVX? Massive? SD w *****?
Tons of higher performance coax speaker options. ARC Moto 602HD (not 602v2), WDX Motos, Mmats 601cx, etc and his wallet and genres, ears, riding style, etc will drive this. Mmats for the lids.
Don't forget the BT355s, amp wiring kit, etc as the "plug and play" instal accessories.
Bad news is that $700 is gonna be tuff to do the higher perf & SQ stuff so if that's a firm budget ceiling this conversation will totally change to all lower tier stuff. Lots of suitable options there too, but just not gonna be a one and done strategy.
Good luck!!

I agree with Tailwind as the pn4 is a good budget amp but you will loose any fm and have to do some mods on your gauges/amp to get it to fit. The new motos and arc hd look damn promising but as of yet, I haven't heard them. The stinger is damn solid for an amp, mmats also looks good too but I would not get a SD amp unless it is the new version with adjustable gains.
As far as line levelers, if your bud has fade control, you will need 2 LL for front and rear. If not then just the front LL will be needed.

Imho the PN4 1000 just does not "fit" on the stock amp tray without some hack job engineering to that tray and I personally would not do that shix to my own sled let alone a buds sled. If u go that PN route, get a J&M amp tray.

He listens to classic rock, hard rock, etc.
Running a supercharged motor and rides fairly aggressive, supercharger adds a bit of additional noise, so he is looking to get this to point of being loud and clear with decent sound quality.
Totally agree with looking at a different amp then the SS PN4.1000D if major mods are required. It didn't take much effort to install it on my 2005 Ultra, wasn't sure how much work was required to install it in his 2015 SG. Plus he has decided to hopefully keep his radio working, if possible.
Looking at 2 BT355's
Looking at using the Arc Moto 602 HD or WDX 6 Gen 2 for the fairing.
Mmatts 609CX in the bag lids.
Going with that set up, which amp do you think would be the best option. Something that would fit in the fairing and pair nicely with that set up. Preferably something that would maintain his radio reception as well.
Who would be a good supplier, we are up in Canada, and I see we now have an Arc distributor, but haven't had a chance to check the rest.
Thanks guys.

The mmats pa690.4cx is the part number for the 6x9's for your lids. Very solid and IMHO the best 6x9 on the market right now. I am currently running them off the rear channels of a stinger spx 700.4 amp and they are loud, clear and pound. That amp is easy to mount as it will fit on your existing amp tray and with all wiring out front vs. on the ends, it is easy to wire and tune. No fm problems with that amp either. The new mmats 4110 amp is getting good reviews as is the massive BLX4 amp but I have not run/heard either of these 2. If you get the new RF flash for aftermarket setup, you wont need any line levelers and that can be a big plus to eliminate another filter that will need tuning. Not sure of the cost of that flash but I am betting you can get it done cheaper than the cost of 2 line levelers (front and rear).
As for speaker in the fairing, Those new wdx and arc motos look damn promising but as of yet I have not heard them. I do have a set of mmats pa601cx on the way here and can provide a review on them in the next week or so.
Being in Canada may cause a bit of a problem getting stuff shipped but if worse comes to be, hell let me know what you want and I can try to get it and ship to you.
Hope this helps.

Good to hear those mmatts pa690.4cx are loud and pound decent. I think they sound like a good choice.
Might actually lean a little towards the Mmatts PA 601CX for the fairing just due to the convenience of buying both speakers at one spot and for shipping up to Canada.
I am also liking that stinger amp. probably leaning that directions as well.
You figure for sure the stinger has enough jam to get the job done?
Good to hear about the aftermarket flash. Didn't know about that one.
Thanks for the offer in assistance getting the stuff to Canada. Hopefully I wont have any issues getting things shipped. I also have a brother in law in Lexington NC that can probably help if needed.
