Default Hard Ride Audio

Anyone have any experience with the Hard Ride Audio speaker kit for Street Glides? I have a 2011 SG and I'm wanting to upgrade the system in a major way...I see their plug in play system that includes bigger 6.5" speakers for the bat wing fairing. Just wondering if anyone on the forum has added this system to their bike and what they found was good/ bad about it.

Sorry, I've never heard of that manufacturer, which in itself tells me a lot. I've got a different aftermarket system in mine (see my signature), and would personally only go with systems that are widely recognized and have a history, such as Hawg Wired, Hog Tunes, J & M, ARC, Boom, etc... I'm not advocating any of them, but they've all been around for a little bit and have a lot of reviews done on them. This way you can research what others have said and form your opinion. I'm not one to just buy something that just hit the market and not have any idea if I'm throwing my money away or not. Best of luck to you and your decision though.

Thanks for the advice. I've also been looking at the Hawg Wired system. I'm thinking the same thing, just seeing if anyone had any first hand knowledge of their system. Appreciate the feed back.
