I have a 2010 RG and have installed the Hawg Wired amp and speakers.
While being much louder, it just sounds like loud crap. Still hardly no bass at all, and with a full face helmet it leaves me less than impressed at hiway speeds.
So, is there a way to use earbuds (preferred) or helmet speakers with the Harley stereo? I like having the controls on the handlebars, just looking for a way to get better sound.
Full helmet on a Harley and highway speeds probably aren't to condusive to real good stereophonics. I have the stock HK Stereo and use a 1/2 or 3/4 helmet and am quite happy with the power and sound, probably never make any changes to it.
Are headphones/ear buds illegal in some states?
I bought an ARAI helmet last year with the speakers built into the helmet, with a mic and a connector that plugged right into the 7 pin connector of my Ultra. I can get everything right thru the helmet from my Ipod Nano to AM, FM, CB, CD etc and when I want to have other people hear me, I can turn on the speakers but normally I just have it piped into the helmet.
I just upgraded my 06 to the Titan XL "herts" speakers, there is a bass that I can feel in my chest, I only wear a 1/2 helmet but with the Klockwerks 6.5 windsheild could hear it clearly with much better sound Quality @over 90, it is powered by the Hawg Wired psc1502 amp, I did play with the amp a little to get the best sound.
