Default Soundz audio system

While on vacation in North Carolina, I got to hear a Soundz setup at the Cherokee NC Harley shop. I was impressed with how it sounded as it was clear and loud. This setup was 4 speakers (6.5's) on an ultra with a sounds amp. He had it cranked when he pulled in so I had to ask. He did a small demo playing "turn down for what" and then told me that he got it installed in Daytona as his 2 friends were saying that they are going to get a soundz setup when they get home because it was the best sounding system for a motorcycle ever made.

The break down was 4 iron 6.5 speakers (fairing and tour pack) with the sounds 4 channel amp. It was clear and loud but at high volume it started sounding a bit harsh on the high end. The owner was very proud of how it sounded and told me the complete setup cost him $2700 installed.

Now the funny part was as he and his friends started walking in the shop, he asked who had the anniversary street glide (parked in front of the door) with the Rockford setup as he noticed my bike having RF lid kit and all RF grills. After telling him it was mine, he stated that he looked at the rf setup but the soundz was far superior to the rf kit. I just agreed with him and let him talk. I never told him what my setup was but as we were getting ready to leave, I decided to play...….. guess what...….turn down for what. My buddys just hook their heads and the soundz guy's wife/girlfriend started dancing when the 10's kicked in, he just walked in the shop not saying a thing. As we pulled out the girls were still dancing in the lot. It was funny as hell.

I have heard several Soundz systems and I think they sound fine, I just really don’t get the cost. I still have not heard one I like better than even my little 4 speaker MMats coax set up and I have way les than half of that $2700 into.

The thing that kills me about Soundz are their customers. It’s like they have created some kind of cult. Just like BAM (I think) that was here talking shix leading up to Daytona. They cannot be convinced that they paid too much for their mediocre system and will tell anyone that will listen that they should also pay too much to get Soundz.

Whats on your bike now TG? Unless it's area 51. I know you've been upgrading.

Don’t let TG tell you anything but awesome about his bike. He is very humble and never takes compliments very well. It was slamming at my place and he had very little time in it when he was up here. I’d bet it’s much better now.

Thanks Kris. It does sound better now as I redid the amp setup and retuned the whole setup. It's not a competition grade by any means but it is good enough for this old man.

Mashsall, same setup as ES just added 10's in the bags and another amp. Rewired the amps and retuned.
