Default hog tunes speakers review

I thought I needed a new radio system for my 03 classic. At highway speeds I had to turn volume 3/4 up to hear and the quality of the music was poor. A friend told me to try hog tune speakers before spending a lot of money for a new system. I did, and WOW, I cant believe what differance an 85 buck set of speakers made. At 70 mph I use 1/4 of the volume and get great sound. Just thought someone out there may have the same issue with thier tunes. Ride safe.

Thanks Dan, been doing a lot of reading on posts about upgrades. Same boat as you with an 03 Ultra. Don't want to spend a ton on tunes rather put it elsewhere.

Just going to upgrade speakers myself. Appreciate your input.

Totally pleased with my hog tune set up, speakers, small amp, tweeter pod. 1/4 to 1/2 volume plenty loud and I use ear plugs.

IMO, you can do better than Hogtunes. I had 'em for a few months. They were no big deal. I have Hertz 6.5s now. I think they're nicer. More money too, but nicer.

I just installed the Biketronics-Hertz 6½" speakers after having Hogtunes for several years. They produce a fuller sound, altogether better, but we must remember they cost >2X as much. I think for many the HT system is a good choice, but although it isn't the best upgrade it is a good bang-for-the-buck, IMO.

Love my new Hogtunes set up on the 2012 Street Glide. Got the tweeter bar, fairing speakers and amp. I have to actually turn it down while riding because it gets very loud. For the price, I don't think this set up can be beat. I received everything off of Amazon.com and it was VERY easy to install. Trust me, I have no patience and no mechanical skills but I still did it. Are better, more expensive speakers out there? I'm sure there are. You can't hear bass rolling down the highway at 75 MPH anyway so why waste the money...these are great and I couldn't be happier. In fact, the guys behind me listen to my stereo as well!

Just installed HT speakers in my 2012 RG and they are great sounding for a great price. Much cheaper than Harley's Boom upgrade speakers.

Would getting just the speakers be enough for better sound?? Or would I need the speakers and amp? Just want an inexpensive sound upgrade? Also what OHM are y'all getting. There's a bunch of this set on amazon. Any good?
>>Hogtunes Front Speakers 5.75 OHM 914.2 84$$
