I dont to sart any crap here but ive had a hog tunes amp and speakers in my glide classic for a couple years and to be honest to my ear the stock stereo sounded better with the stock speakers than with the amp and H/T speakers.. I think they add too much base for me.. Thats of course my thoughts.. Ive since went with a detachable tour pack (i had the rear speaker kit also) and i put on a back rest for the wife and i may just do away with the amp and go back to the 2 stock speakers in the front... I really think the clarity was better..

I have been using the Hogtunes front speakers for the past year, and I added the amp after about a month of using the speakers alone. The speakers alone were definitely an upgrade from the stock speakers in both volume, lack of distortion and clarity. After adding the amp, I noticed a remarkable improvement than with the speakers alone. Improved punch, better bass, and even better clarity. I can run the system with all of the volume I need at highway speeds. However, this is not a high fidelity listening experience. It is a motorcycle with wind noise, traffic noise, and my V&H pipes. For $300.00 the Hogtunes amp/speakers are a great value that provide for me, an excellent motorcycling experience, and by far is some of the better money I have spent on motorcycles.

Maybe just turning down the bass would help. I have mine set to 1/2 with treble at full-blast.

I would have to say that closely follows my opinion, too.

Weird. Never heard of that happening before. Did it zap your head unit or just the left speaker? The HT speakers are guaranteed for 20 years, so I would just send any dead speaker back for a replacement.
