Advice Needed for Road Glide Upgrade
Hello, I have a 2019 Road Glide Special, I'm looking for an audio upgrade. When I'm at highway speeds, the stock system just sounds like a bunch of noise. Don't know if it's my old ears, or the system.
I want to replace the fairing speakers, add an amp, and possibly add speakers to my lowers. I won't be adding lid speakers. Looking for better sound at 70mph.
I'll be doing the install myself, and have a budget of $1500 - 2k.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

You will need the HU flash. Fairing GZCF6.5SPL, Lowers Mmats PA601.4cx Amp SD1200.4 2ohm. Run the Gz's bridged parallel on channel 1 & channels 2. Mmats on channels 3 & 4 straight up. This will be loud and clear @ 100 MPH.

Keep in mind the above advice will be mono, not stereo. A 1200.4 4 ohm will give you 221w x 4 hooked up normal stereo. That would be fine for the GZs and Mmats (shoot I am getting by with 150 watts on those speakers). Just wanted to throw that out there in case the OP cares.
Most of the music I listen to takes heavy advantage of stereo. I know what I am supposed to hear from each side and I don't want to do away with that functionality just for a few extra watts.

The Euphoria EX4 is a great 4 channel amp at 200wx4.
Another good setup is a SD 800.4 PS with 2 pairs of mmats pa601cx's
Some other good 6.5's are: Euphoria Expert coax (EX6NCX), DB Drive moto CD's, Quantum coax, DD audio coax, cicada horn and coax
Some other amps (depending on speaker choice) are: mmats 4100, Stinger 700, Massive TX48, Euphoria Expert EX1K

If you are new to the bike audio world, I was stay away from SD 1200's right now. They have a notoriously high failure rate (ask me how I know). Also, there seems to be a lot of GZ coax that are sub-par as well (again, ask me how I know).

I have not tried personally, but I'm 99% sure you'll need a Lex rack to get it to fit.
