@@TXCVORider love it. I have it getting painted right now by rolling art custom here in az. So it’s gonna be a few weeks. But I’ve got some new stuff on the shelf.
@@AZBaggers nice! I’m waiting for HD to come out with their Stage 2 kit so that I can upgrade. I went with the Corbin seat after your recommendation and couldn’t be happier!
@@TXCVORider hopefully they figure out how to tune these VVT motors. So I’m gonna wait for motor work until that’s solid. But I’m right there with you on wanting stage 2. I know fueling is working on it as well as fuelmoto
Do you get any "Hisses" or "pops" or any noise when radio is either off or when bike is starting? - Heard that by adding the 2nd amp adn DSP so close to stock amp creates "dirty noise" Thanks
Yeah most shops don’t have the harness yet. You need to call Carlos at NVS audio. He will get you what you need. Cicada is a manufacturer and hasn’t come out with any products specific to the new bikes yet.
How do you find the Corbin seat that you have?They don't have it with the diamond stitching that You have, unless you go with 2022 Road glide but not sure it will fit?
I am using custom dynamics light mounts and some iron angled washers to make them straight because of the angle of the crash bar. they were pointed at the front tire because of the angle.
Love the bike, just took delivery today of my 2023 cvo. I put the stage3 Rockford back speakers in it. Gonna see how it is over the weekend but after hearing yours I’m leaning to go your route! How hard was the install? Great video. Thank you!
the hardest part was removing the tank. Carlos makes it pretty plug and play. You do need to trim the tray a bit. I did it with a Dremel took about 10 min.
Holy cow, I didn't know you could do as much as you've done. Your bike looks great and sounds like it's performing well. I have a 24 CVO RG in legendary orange, so far I've added the chopped tour pak and my Saddlemen seat should be shipping soon. You've definitely given me some idea's for sure. Thanks!
@@AZBaggers The SV165 is a mid bass. Would have been perfect in those ported pods. I would think your system would be quite bright with the cicada horns and Hertz coaxial. Supposed the dsp helps a bit though.
@@marcmo7138 The SX 165 and the SV 165 Neos both produce the same exact amount of midbass in the tour pack. We offer both and have both in stock but I like having a tweeter in the back and yes you’re correct with the DSP we can smooth out the tweeter response . You have to remember it’s the port in the tour pack that create the base not the speaker itself so whether the speaker has a tweeter or not the porch and give you the same low, frequency output
And just out of curiosity why would you go down from Rockford Fosgate to Hertz? Quality and support on Rockford is much better also I know Rockford has high electrical resistance because they are 2ohm which means that 2ohm Rockford speakers are louder than 4ohm Hertz ones. Although louder, 2 ohm speakes are also more likely to produce a poorer quality of sound due to its' power consumption. Was that your reason you switched ? I'm just curious. At least I would go with Cicada Audio
@@bartii8311 I don’t know much about the engineering. I’m eventually going to replace the hertz with a more mid bass driver. Other than that no particular reason. I try different options until I get a perfect sound for me.
they are 10"pullback risers and they were the easiest bars I have ever installed. I did enlarge the hole in the bars to accommodate for the new housing but thats it.
@@AZBaggers thanks your bike looks great. Since there is not much on the newer RG and SG you've been super helpful. Another question I have, are you running a tuner, I don't remember you saying in any of your videos (I would assume it would be a SE Pro Street)?
Yeah, it's the SE tuner. It's the only thing that has come available. It's not ideal but better than stock if your doing stage 1 stuff. @@Kickin_it_671
You do know that going from amp to amp is hack work, don't you? Every 12v audiophile knows this. You're creating a load on the factory amplifer which can back feed into that oem head screen, thus frying it, not to mention frying the oem Rockford amplifier. I hope you have great business insurance. You'll need it for when this customer experiences what I mentioned. Best of luck.
So how are people putting subs in their cars with factory amplified radio’s? Ive done multiple Infiniti’s with Bose amps feeding the bass amps and I have NEVER blown out a factory head unit or amp…
I know it's a huge difference from the stock windshield. Klock hasn't professed that they are making anything taller. they are making a sport version but its shorter. I would say it would work great. I have zero buffeting, My wife told me she dissent have her head moving and she would be sitting 4-5 inches above me on 2up riding. I would go for it.
Couldn't we just run the stock speaker level output from the Rockford amo straight to the high level input of the second Amp and not necessarily need a dsp?
I believe the digital signal needs to be converted and the DSP does that. The new system is an a-b processor like all the newer cars and requires a converter. AP-ZEn makes them for ford. Thats my understanding. But I am not an expert.
You would.also want the ability to adjust and correct for the factory Rockford system. A DSP is def a no brainer on all my bike installs. Carlos is a mentor and trained me on bike audio. Do you absolutely need one? Maybe not. But you do😉
Thats a clean install. Thanks for the review... I have been seeing videos from Carlos and plan to start with the front speaker setup for my 24 RG, then wait for someone to come out with a cutting template for the bag lids.
I already had the 6X9's and it was around 2400 delivered from NVS. But you can choose different speakers if you choose to reduce the cost, or add more expensive options. The best bet is to call them and let them know what your goals are.
@@Wayno_72 I don’t know the part number but I eventually got the 12” KW for my 2024 RG. Apparently they release them when they get 100 or so made. I love it, it’s the perfect high to see over and still get no buffeting like the stock 4”
Simple Velcro holds the amp in place. It’s so tight up there nothing can move. SPL baggers offers a bracket to both the amp in place but you have to cut the headlight to make it work. I didn’t wanna cut the headlight.
Thank you for the video very informative with good clear images. Do you know how the signal for the rear speakers is extracted from the bikes loom? I can understand how the fairing speakers signal goes to the ARC Audio DSP just not too sure how NVS loom taps into the rear speaker signal? Can you advise on this one.
There is a 4 pin connection for the rear speakers and from the amp there is a 4 pin plug that sends signal to the rear speakers. just plug it in Same as the front.
Great to know just the same as the previous model that had the same outputs. I didn't know if they had done away with the one in the fairing and just had the one under the seat. Thanks again. @@AZBaggers
With the odi bars did you have to drill out the hole for throttle by wire? Also what kraus riser are you running looking to run a very similar setup on my 24
I used a Dremel, and them filed it. You could drill another hole and cut it out to meet the existing hole. you will need to make sure you pay attention to the way the factory has the wires in the switch housing can be temperamental when reassembling it. Take your time and make sure you have enough room for the wires to not be pinched. @@SidecarDonnie
So word of advice, the wire come out vertical to the grip not at the bottom of the bars where the original hole is, so Dremel up and out not just make the hole bigger. @@SidecarDonnie
SO Kraus does make 8" risers. However, I found that the 10" are perfect and you can adjust the bars back and forth for reach. 8 inch will only extend past the housing about 5" There is a factory 3 inch riser under there. So dont just measure from the cover measure from the triple tree. @@g929rr
@@AZBaggersThanks for the answers on the riser setup. On my RG24 I have used an 8 inch and odi V-Twin handlebars-with my setup I didn't need to enlarge the holes. Indeed with a 10 inch Riser there would still be full visibility of the display. Many thanks again!
Carlos, The only amp that will fit in the current configuration is the sound digital 800.4 . And the suspension was upgraded to Ohlins, so those are Ohlins caps from Big Bear Performance. Thanks for the kind words!!
@@AZBaggers thank you .. they look cool.. nice to give it a little color. Did you go with Olins in back as well? I also kept those from my 19 before I traded it in. - Awesome.. just checked and thats the amp i got from him .. the 800.4 evo2 and the Mini DSP. (something like that) guess i just need to get new harness he made,.. and the 6 x 9's thanks again. BTW.. what size Risedrs you get ? 6 or 8 with the 2.5 inch Bars?
I just got a CVO Road Glide on Friday. I've never had a Road Glide before so I figured, what the heck. I was surprised at the amount of wind and how little I could hear of the sound system at highway speeds. Like my Street Glides, I knew I would have to replace the windshield. Your video is awesome. I had never heard of Cicada before. I checked them out and it seems like a great company or at least great products. How much modification did you have to do to get the fairing speakers in? Was it a pain or fairly simple? Also, you mentioned the 6X9's bolted right in. So no modifications necessary? Do you think just the Cicada speakers alone would improve the system or is the amp needed? Sorry for all the questions. I don't want to buy a bunch of stuff and end up with stuff that I can't get installed.
SO all great questions, No modifications to fit the cicada 6.5 speakers in the fairing. However, you will need a .33-.35 spacer for them to fit in the pod. The 6X9's are Hertz and dropped right in. the front corners do need to be trimmed a bit to get the girls back on but it's nothing a set of cutters cant do. I personally would go with an amp. BUT.....contact Carlos at NVS audio and he can do it in steps so you dont waste money. Start with speakers and see if it's good enough. If not call him back for an amplifier. I know they are making an interface for the new radios but it wont be out until late this or next year. The Cicadas are great speakers and can take a lot of power so you'll never be limited. Hope that helps. Call Carlos at NVS. He is the guru and has the inside track on the industry. He has also tried every conceivable combination to find what works best.
