WOOFER GRILL,REAR RH - 76000324 76000324 2 $20.00 $40.00
WOOFER GRILL,FRONT,RH - 76000321 76000321 1 $36.00 $36.00
WOOFER GRILL,FRONT,LH - 76000322 76000322 1 $36.00 $36.00
Subtotal $112.00
Total $112.00

Just making sure I got the right grills. They are supposed to be the Boom audio with the HD logo in the middle. From what I read, the rear ones I had to order 2? They fit the lowers? Thanks for any info.
I thought it said on the BT website that the 7.1" setup for '14s fits the stock grills in the fairing. Not sure about the lowers though, since I don't have those.

John from BT said stock was fine because the speakers were recessed a bit. I still had planned to upgrade the grills in the fairing. Just trying to make sure I have the right one for the lowers. I hope so, I already ordered them from Kutter lol.

Anyone have any insight on my post from the other day. Want to order parts but wanted to get some feedback.

Thinking about ordering the new BT 7.1s. Installing them and remove the titans and then get the titans replaced and sell them. So the questions:

1. From what's been said here the speakers should not have blown in this setup so thinking they were defective. Or is there something I'm missing?

2. Should I use the magic jack even though flashed? If so should I reflash or will it be fine?

3. Do I need to worry about the new 7.1s with the PBR?

4. Should I replace the amp?

Thanks for your input in advance.

Has anyone tried ever tried installing a new deck such as a Double Din?

Or how about a powered subwoofer in the bag? Would you be able to hear it or not? I know alot of guys wouldnt want to do it because of the space it takes up but 90% of my riding I am home every night.

I'm sure it can be done with some mods but the opening in the fairing is a bit larger than a double-din head unit.

I haven't heard a powered subwoofer that sounded worth it's cost so I would think not a good choice.

Something like a 6x9 in the lid and a properly installed 8 or 10" in the bag would be ideal for a parking lot queen but for on the road, I'd opt for good 2-way 6x9s before I'd fool with a sub.

Talking Hog Tunes 6.5 for 2014 models is out!

Don't know if anyone else has been watching the website, but Hog Tunes now has there 2014 Model direct replacement 6.5 inch 2 ohm speakers listed. They say they handle 125 watts RMS/ 200 peak. They look decent, and they are supposed to be a drop in replacement. Anyone want to spend $159 to give us a review???? I would but, well....I'm cheap.

Please pardon me for butting in ,,,, but lets all try to unconfused ourselves again ((for those that are still confused !))) ,,,,

1 ,,,,, if you like the Harley KaBoom stuff, then buy it, have your radio flashed for it and go down the highway ,,,,,,

2 ,,,,,,,, Leave your 2014 Radio flashed stock OR flash it back to NO AMP ,,, 2 or 4 speakers,,,,,, and don't pay any attention to the radio error codes about no speakers connected etc ,,,,,,,,

2 ,,,,,, the Magic Box that Ed from Cyclesounds offers is kind of cool, so if you like ED ,,,, go for it ,,,,,,

3 ,,,,,, most all of the other amps that everyone is installing ,(((R/F, SoundStream, J&M Performance series, J&M ROKKER series etc, have a switch on the side, with 3 selections, FULL, HP or High-Pass and LP or Low pass ,,,,,,

4 ,,, switch that amp switch to HP (high-pass), and dial the real bottom end boomy bass out of the system with the crossover screw located right next to that switch ,,,,,,,

5 ,,,, those of you with the J&M ROKKER XTP amps, if you don't already have my latest DSP download for the 2014s, go to the J&M website and reference them on this page http://www.jmcorp.com/static/rokker-downloads.htm ,,,,,,

6 ,,,, I can also send out by email, my custom DSP settings for 6 or 8 speaker system configurations on the 2014 Harley Ultra or StreetGlide ,,,,,,,,,
