Default Audio Upgrade...

Upon installing a kit from biketronics, A Sony head unit and Hogtunes speakers I was just not "happy" with the sound quality on my 08. It was way better than the H/K units I have heard but not to my liking lets say......[:@]

So.............

I bought a set of Memphis MC5 Marine rated ($129) component speakers and MH Instruments mini amp (2 channel, 100 watts total, $99).

I have only one thing to say............HOLY ****!!!!


What a difference!!!! This thing for lack of a better work, ROCKS!!!!!

The speakers are so clear....the highs are crisp and there is even really nice bass tone....

Any body that wants to upgrade there sound I totally recomend this setup and for the money you cant go wrong!!!!!
