Anyone have/heard the new Kenwood system?
I have a 15 street glide with the boom audio front fairing speakers. I contacted a audio shop near where I live and they recommended the new Kenwood Excelon p-hd3fr for the front fairing and to cut my bag lids since I have the boom audio its a plug and play system. Its $1500 for the system but its so new that Ive never seen anyone with it or cant find any videos thats not from Kenwood themselves on it. Does anyone have this system or heard a bike that has it? I just dont know enough about it to sink $2,300 installed into that new of a product.

Yeah, we dont have any of those around here lol. I live in a pretty small town. Are you saying hard pass because of the Kenwood system or the audio shop?

Im not worried about the install. Just looking for a good system without going too much over the $1500 mark.

If you want just ok sound go with the rf, kenwood hogtunes what have you. If you want much better sound call a bike audio installer such as volunteer or others and have them put a system together for you and install it yourself.

Up your budget a bit. You'll need to get the head unit flashed. Either at a shop or by renting flash tool.

Yeah, turns out there is more than I realized. Im new to the Harley game Ive rode a street bike all my life up until a year ago. But I got in touch with Daniel Hearn of Bad Attitude Audio and hes working on me a quote. I dont mind going over the $1500 as long as its worth it. Thats why I was skeptical of the Kenwood, they are just so new and Ive never heard that setup.
