Default Hertz plug and play

Running stock looking to upgrade speakers and add a amp. Want more volume and bass but not looking for competition level. Ride 2 up 80% of time mostly 35 to 60 mph.Would also like to hear it for the rare highway run.Want to install myself. Don't have any experience with audio but can do plug and play. I understand there is probably a cheaper way to go but the amp is already dialed in. The amp is a SP4.900 the fairing speakers are SX165 Neo and the rears are SV165 Neo. It has the ability to add lower speakers and also run off the amp as I understand.Which would be another set of SV165 Neo's.The price is right at 1700 shipped.Would this system meet my wants and how much difference would 6 speakers be versus 4? , I'm not sure about a 6 speaker system becuse of money and 3 different sets of grilles. Maybe someone can point in the right direction for all matching grilles. This a complete plug and play system. The only thing that would be a added cost is flashing the radio.Any advice is appreciated

It is a great amp you wont be disappointed. I have the SX165s in fairing,SV165s in lowers and SX690s in bags. I used Volunteer Audio for my setup and they have great customer service.

If you're going to upgrade and spend the money, I would add the lowers. Lowers are great for increased rider volume.

And I would have to agree with David and using Volunteer Audio for a full Hertz setup.

Volunteer audio is who has the package. Talked to them a couple of times. They were helpful with my questions but just posted to get real world experience and knowledge

+1 on adding speakers to the lowers. Really added to the overall package in my case. More so than the TP pods (and so I'd guess the same for lids if I had them). I don't usually ride 2 up but even my gf says she hears the lowers more than the TP pods she's sitting next to.

I bought my Hertz kit from them about a month ago for my 23 Roadglide. Install was easy with the videos and took accouple of hours. Very happy with the results and the service. Would definitely recommend.

Just talked to volunteer now and got everything I need. Went with the 6 speaker system. They switched the grille covers to match better which was a concern.Thanks for the responses

If that was a question fo me,yes I did get it. The only thing I have done so far is flash the radio. Trying to get 1 more ride in before winter. Hopefully tomorrow it will happen. I have a long list of winter projects planned. Going to tackle the audio around the same time I pull the forks off. I'll definitely report back when I get the audio finished.

I did the stage 6 with upper and lower fairings, and 6x9 lids and it sounds really good! Took me about 8 hours total. I also changed out the headunit and added ciro3d shock and awe lighting to the whole bike.

Good luck on your install!
