That amp and speaker combination is a good one.

I had a street glide before this road glide and it had lowers on it. Adding speakers to the lowers is a great upgrade and adds a good bit more sound while running. If I had lowers I would have installed speakers there rather than in the bags. The Stinger amp powers two sets of speakers very well.

I used the stinger wiring kit as well and it worked great it has everything you need except a line out converter. I would suggest an SNI line out converter to turn your amplifier output wires into RCA input to your amp. Here is a link to one. They are very inexpensive. https://www.amazon.com/PAC-SNI-15-Sp...s%2C130&sr=8-3

Thanks for the heads up, got it heading this way. Now just the waiting game for everything to show. Can't wait to get started on all this. You would thing Harley would have more options with more companies.

Well,got everything in and started installing it. Lot more to remove than I thought. Sanded out some ribs like you said and the speakers fit in great. Then while putting the 4 screws in to hold them down in the pod I slipped and punched a hole through one. Just my speed lately. Got another one heading this way. I do have everything else done and ready for when it arrives. Which flash did you use on your setup like mine? The rf or the Harley 8\2? Been reading up but can't find which one I need to use.

Soundz flash is the flattest. RF is a good one and I think retains fade, if that matters to you. Doesn't to most. I think RF flash has a little boost in bass if I remember what I read/saw here.

I think that I have read where you have said this before but it was my understanding that the Rockford flash was pure flat with no enhancement. Does anybody else have any information to the contrary? Maybe I will post on this

Thanks again for all the help, finally got it flashed and tuned. Such a huge difference. Really appreciate you all sharing the knowledge.

More questions, been really enjoying the setup you all recommended. I am wanting to add lid speakers now. I have ordered and received mmat 690s for them. Got my lids from hogwerkz in as well. What do I need to do to add them to the system since the bike only came with 2 speakers? I already have the wires ran that came with the stinger amp install to the rear.

I think it was 1975 give or take. I was maybe 12 years old. We were coming back from a basketball game (which we probably lost) and I was sitting in the way back seat of our coach's (his name was Terry btw...don't recall his last name) station wagon. Don McClean's "American Pie" came on the 8 track. I'd never heard the song before, but from that moment on hearing that song never failed to transport me back to that moment in time. Even now some 50 years later. Music is the soundtrack of our lives, with power to lift us up, to make us cry, to transport us to a given moment in time. For some - a bluetooth source and some earbuds are enough, other's prefer to hear their music in the free air like they prefer the bikes they ride. Still others prefer the wind as their soundtrack. Why would anyone want a stereo on their motorcycle? It's the music man...it's the music.
