I'm still researching audio upgrades for my '18 Road Glide's fairing and wondering if anybody has heard the Hawg Wired stuff. There is a reputable vendor on Ebay that has the FLTR RUSH3002 kit listed as new for a couple hundred bucks less than the big retailers. I'm not going to upgrade the rear pod speakers anytime soon, I upgraded those on two of my previous bikes and for the money spent, the improvement was minimal, so for now my focus is on the fairing. There is a lot of positive feedback regarding Hawg Wired, but I would like to hear from someone who has actually owned or at least heard their gear. I have heard Rokker systems and have upgraded with Hog Tunes twice, but I'm wondering if Hawg Wired is worth the money before I decide what to get. I'm retired and every dollar counts so I'm determined not to drink any Kool-Aid this time around.
Thanks in advance for any input.

 

I don't own this kit but looking at the specs, it's only 75w/channel into their 2-ohm speakers.

 

From their site:

Input Channels: 2 High/Low Level Output Channels: 2 Channels Nominal Output @ 4 ohms: 150W (75Wx2) Nominal Output @ 2 ohms: 300W (150Wx2) Frequency Response: 10Hz-50kHz Low Level (RCA Line-In) Sensitivity: 200MV - 6V High Level (Speaker-In) Sensitivity: 400MV - 12V Input Impedance: 33K ohms
Nominal output at 2 Ohms is 150 x 2

 

Their speakers are 4 Ohm but it looks like the amp will drive 2 Ohm speakers as well. That amp may be a little too anemic with 4 Ohm speakers for my old ears Lol. Thanks for the heads up. The search continues...

 

All the systems you talked about are the kool-aid.

You will get what you pay for, and it's not cheap. Motorcycle audio is unlike any other audio. It's not car audio, it's not boat audio. There is now equipment out there just for motorcycles, and they are not all the "plug n play" kits. I think you posted on the Mn Harley fakebook page as well. I had to keep scroll past all the awful recommendations people were giving you.

If your strictly looking to upgrade fairing only (which is smart) with quality equipment that you will hear at 80 mph, it's going to cost a little
Figure around $250-400 for a set of 6.5" speakers for fairing. $250-500 for an amp that fits in fairing. $100 to flash radio. $50-75 in quality wiring. $30-50 for amp mount.

 

Yes. Typo on my part. I meant 4-ohm speakers.
