Default Bike Tronics

Any body got any insight on Biketronics amps and speakers - their claims sounded good ! - I spent a lot of $ - for extremely expensive front speakers w/ fancy mounts and the 2 channel amp and the converter -- followed all the instructions correctly - had the head unit reflashed - checked polarity -- (I own an automotive repair center) - the sound is terrible - I talked to biketronics several times - made changes - horrible / tinny sound -- the stock Harley sounded really good compared to this (just no power) --- do I need to suck it up and buy another amp and speakers ? -- just want some clean sound -- Any Help ? -- Thanks

Welcome from Old Cape Cod.

I have their BT4180 amp with the 7.1 speakers in all 4 corners, SONY radio, and couldn't be happier.

Been sporting that now for about 5 years with no issues and it sounds great, even my riding partners think so..........

Talk to them!!

I had their stuff in a SG and it sounded great in the garage but I really couldn't hear it or make out what song was playing over the exhaust and wind noise going down the interstate. I had to replace the speakers twice because either the plastic broke or the speaker itself busted. First time was under warranty minus shipping costs. Second time I just replaced them with a different brand. Personally, I'll never use their stuff again. Hopefully you get your issues worked out.

Thanks for your input -- I have been in contact w/ the company - did everything they advised - still sounds like crap - low level Harley stuff sound like a concert hall compared to this !

Check out the audio forum. The stock H-D unit is probably holding you back. The BT set ups don’t have any adjustments on their amps.
