Opinions on Hog Tunes.
I want to do an audio upgrade to my 2013 Limited. I will do the install myself. The Hogtunes gear seems to be very easy to install based on the videos I have watched. I can get a complete system for about 850.00 this would be The big Ultra Kit, Tweeter pod and the 7" woofer kit for the lowers. That seems to be a decent price for a 6 speaker (8 if you count tweeter pod) 2 amp sysyem that would put out about 300W of power. Opinions please

My friend put the complete Hogtunes system on his 2009 CVO, minus the amp for the fairing and Tour Pak speakers. He used the stock amp for those.
I will say, it sounded good. Was pretty loud with little distortion. But, for the money, you could do better IMHO. It might require a little more work, but you can piece together a better system for the same amount or less.
The only thing I didn't like about it was the way the lower woofers looked. They looked like an afterthought. The CVO lower pods, even when they are not color matched, look like they belong there.

I know I could put together a better system piece by piece but I like they way Hog tunes has designed the hardware to fit well with the motorcycle. I just don't want issues down the road if something fails do to poor installation on my part.

Poor installation will cause anything to fail wether it's Hogtunes or a custom system. If an installation warranty is somehting you are after, you would need a professional to do it.
Now, you also have to keep in mind that if you install the lower woofers, you will be drilling out the glove box covers currently installed on your bike. Once you do it, there is no going back without buying new parts.

I thought about that but I dont use the lower storage anyway. I'm not concerned about my ability to install the system but the more engineering that has been done by the manufacturer the less I have to do lol. I do feel pretty confident. I have done several home and auto installs over the years just no motorcycle installs.
