Question thought u shouldn’t run ground wire from amp to the battery directly??? I have a popping noise from my speakers when I hit my air ride switch is this bad ground??

@sikbaggers 10 месяцев назад

Coils (fill, dump vavles and compressor relays magnatize and cause a voltage feedback every time they are turned off or on. That is known, What isnt so known is why some audio sytems pick up that noise so much better than others. Typically it is ground issue but not always. Its more common on systems that use RCA cables. that are ran from the head unit to the amps. But again, thats not always the case. First thing I do is eliminate all body grounds/frame grounds. Then I put a diode acorss the positive and negative wires feeding the coils. The diode I use is the 1N4005. The diode has a stripe on one side that must go to the positive wire. The closer they are to the vavle the better they will work. This si the diodes amzn.to/4a4mtEa ...this is apretty common issue on harleys after installing air ride. And this is the fix everyone uses.

@DoRC 3 года назад

Looks good. One thing you always want to disconnect ground first and reconnect it last on a battery. that way if you are connecting the positive connection and your tool or something happens to touch the frame or something that is grounded it won't short out.

Hog tunes sucks for the money, I’m a Rockford fosgate fan, they have plug and play and everything is so easy to install, kills me to hear guys pay for Harley install when they could have used the money for better equipment. Great video and advanblack has some great stuff for half the price! Keep up the good work.

You can still do far, but far better, than RF for the price you paid for it. RF IS a great product, but no different from Hogtunes when it comes to Pricing.

Thanks Steven, another great video. If I just wanted to change my speakers on a 2014 ultra limited, (stock system) is there anything special that would need to be done?

@sikbaggers 4 года назад

Hey Tim...sorry I missed this comment man...But no its all the same inside there. Biggest pain is to get those pods out to change the speakers. other than that swap them out and use the eq on the head unit to make them sound as good as you can with no distortion at high volumes. Distortion causes heat and heat destroys speakers.

Hello @sikbaggers what is your current speaker and amp recommendation (with only 2 faring speakers) now 3 years later? I noticed a year or so ago you recommended a different speaker. Thanks

@gccattle2606 3 года назад

Real simple question before I take you're advice and try this install. My 2017 Ultra Limited has 2 Ohms speakers in the front and in the back. If I upgrade the wiring to all four speakers and install the new 8 Ohms in front and the 4 Ohms in the rear, I shouldn't run into any problem using the setup you're describing as long as I'm using my stock radio and I don't already have a factory amp installed. Would that be correct? Thank you for your time and the video's

@youdelmphotography2820 4 года назад

Hi Steven great video. Question I'm upgrading my audio system in my 202 street glide special with new Boom Box radio, my Amp already comes with high line inputs foe each channel, How can determine which wire from the oem speaker wire is positive and which is the negative?

@sikbaggers 4 года назад

The larger spade on the bikes wiring will be positive ..but a simple test can be done to find positive. if you have a volt meter, put it on AC volts and touch it on the speaker connections to find + and -. If you get +12v that is correct, if you get -12v that is backwards. This will help you identify + and - on the speaker.

@mrbrad3236 2 месяца назад

Will the amp you installed power four of those speakers? Might be a dumb question but had to ask looking to add two more of those DS18s. Your videos have saved me hundreds if not thousands of dollars. I appreciate you sir.

@sikbaggers 2 месяца назад

yes sir you can push 4 speakers with that amp...4 channel amp so you can bridge it for nearly twice the power to run 2 speakers or just run 4 speakers at the normal wattage

@Boost5.0stang 6 месяцев назад

Hey man. I have a 2005 Electra glide and wanted to know if you have installed these speakers in this fairing with the speaker side converters so it goes from 5.25- 6.25. Just wondering if they will fit or if they are going to hit the fairing? Also what would you recommend for speakes instead of these that will fit my bike. I hope you are able to help and I appreciate you and your videos.

@sikbaggers 6 месяцев назад

we dont use the ds18 speakers much anymore as they changed their basket design and pretty much wont fit anything any more...a great speaker for your bike with 5.25 to 6.5 inch convertors and one we use quite a bit for a fairing up grade is the PRV Shallow 6.5's and I get them from amazon here amzn.to/3J2qtc4 We have had great luck with these pro audio speakers. Im not sure on your amp set up or how many other speakers you have but if you are just doing the fairing these are awesome.

Hey man appreciate the video!! I have a 2015 ultra would I need my radio flashed for the amp? Thanks for the help! And safe riding

@sikbaggers 6 месяцев назад

You dont have to have it "flashed" but it helps with flattening the EQ on the stock radio so you can tune it with a DSP...if you dont plan on running a DSP I wouldnt worry about it

@sprinky216 Год назад

I noticed the DS-18’s are midrange speakers, are you getting good sound even though it’s not a full range speaker? Also do I need the LOC with a Sony AX7000?

@sikbaggers Год назад

you do not need a LOC on a sony unit they have rca inputs already and youll get decent sound from the midrange...you can only get better sound if you use a midbass and then add some tweeters somewhere.

@gmlees2005 4 года назад

If you use the amp listed you don’t need the LOC it has speaker level high input

@sikbaggers 4 года назад

most of them do...High level input sucks...its worth the 25 bucks to get a LOC

@gmlees2005 4 года назад

I tried with the LOC but couldn’t get it to read the voltage like it was supposed to so I just used the high level input and it sounds 1000% louder than my factory setup

Hey thanks for the video. How did you mount the amp to the tray in the fairing? I got the same setup but I cannot figure out how to best mount that amp since its too big to sit down in the tray.

i use tool box liners from any hardware store...cut it too fit so there is no vibration between the amp and tray and then big zip ties or double sided sticky velcro strips. You zip it down good and it wont move

I’ve already successfully put lights on following another video of yours.

@rickyh78 8 месяцев назад

Sorry if this has been asked and answered…if I’m just planning on doing the 2 fairing speakers with the amp in your parts list do I go with the 4 or 8 ohm speakers?

@sikbaggers 8 месяцев назад

hey now worries ill try to explain it...if you get a 4 channel bridgable amp you and get the 8 ohm speakers and bridge the amp to 2 channel....meaning using all 4 channel on 2 speakers..that would bring the load down in half..from 8 ohm to 4 ohm draw from the amp. The amp should be 4ohm stable bridgeable amp. Adding more speakers later will effect this though. So make sure you only want the fairing speakers and never plan on adding more..if you do you will have to change the amp more than likely. There are a ton of variables that come into play.

@rafaelcasero2822 3 года назад

Hi Steve have several questions and cannot find a utube that is specific to it... 1 - Do I have to use the Power Yellow and the Remote Blue cable if my Amp already has it ? Meaning all I will need to connect is the Speaker wire. 2 - I have the PAC LP7-4 L.O.C. PRO Series 4-Channel device, I'm only going to tap in the front speakers, so I will use 2 channel on the PAC, can I just twist the other two channels together ? Meaning I will use the White and Gray for the 2 channels, can I just twist the Green to the White and the Purple to the Gray for all 4 channels and then go all 4 channels to my amp RCA ? 3 - The the Gain on the PAC will only have the adjustment on one side which is the Right and Left Rear Or Front ? or would I need to adjust both Gains to the same ?

a good mid range will sound great in the front without tweeters...you can always bump it up to something is more full range or add tweeters to mirror holes and move your mirrors to the handlebars..if your bike is a RG then you can buy new grills with tweeters in them.

Very impressive sound quality? Would you buy it? Thanks in advance, and keep on slangin them vids brother! ✌🏼

@sikbaggers 4 года назад

Thank you Danny...Much appreciated. The ds18s are a solid choice for the price rage for sure. They only issue I have found is there are no 8" mid bass speakers for the 8" lids. Now that being said adding anything that can handle bass is fine...in the parking lot. Riding down the road youre not going to hear that bass at all. So adding a a decent set of 8ohm speakers and getting a 4 ohm or 2ohm stable amp so you can bridge the amp and add more power to them is the best route for a clean, loud sound.

well..im not sure thats whats causing your clipping to be honest but it should be matched anyway or you will get distortion. The voltage should be matched to the radio...best way to check is turn it down and see if it stops clipping

no i have to either turn the bike off and on or unplug the speakers from the amp and plug them back in to gwt sound again once it cuts off the speakers. i've order the LOC you used in this video once i get it i'll take my bike to a professional. great video, thanks!

@Anthony-kj2vl Год назад

Dumb question, but where do you hook the ground wire and power wire for the amp

@sikbaggers Год назад

Hook your power wire straight to the battery. You can run the ground to the battery but I prefer to run it to the frame ground where the battery is grounded. Follow the black wire down under your starter from your battery. There is a 7/16th bolt that grounds your battery to the frame. remove that (its kind of tough to get to) and add your ground wire there. To make it easier to get to remove your oil dipstick, and the starter cover. Its on the end of your starter and one single small bolt in the middle. there is nothing behind it..its just a beauty cover. then you can access that bolt much easier. I hope this helps.

Hey Steve...If you get the shallow mount..your bike has stock holes for 5.5 inch speakers and you will need to get the 5.5 to 65 spacer adapter which takes away some room in between your speaker and the outer fairing. You may already have the adapter in there if you're running 6.5 now but that is what you have to watch for...gotta be able to get that outer fairing back on and not hit the agent of the speaker.

I bought the aquatic av head unit its a plug in type now I ran all my speaker wire I put my new speakers in my new amp and new head unit the one thing I'm confused on is what do I do with the old speaker wire that was hooked up to the old speakers I believe I can just cap them and not use them because it was hooked up to the old wire harness but now that I'm by passing it with the amp I'm sorry if its a stupid question I'm new at this

@sikbaggers 4 года назад

you are correct ...you can just cap those off...We usually dont remove any factory wires..just cap them in case down the road you or someone else may need them they are still there.

@patweyer2371 2 года назад

I have a 2021 Electra Glide Standard. This bike comes with no head unit or speakers. I am planning to do the exact set up you are doing here. My question is this the bike comes pre wired to plug my after market head unit directly into it. Since I am using the aftermarket head unit and its never had the stock head unit in it does it need to be flashed?

@sikbaggers 2 года назад

im going to say yes on that,....harley will need to turn everything on...its not really a flash per say but they open up the wiring and turn it all on

@vinnypandolfo6195 Месяц назад

Why change the speaker wires? What did that do to make the installation easier or better?

@sikbaggers Месяц назад

heavier gauge wire for the bigger amp...stock is 12. Use any online chart to see how much your amps is pushing vs how long the wire is and itll show you the gauge you need.

@vinnypandolfo6195 Месяц назад

@@sikbaggers Thanks! Fantastic information!

@RonallSMarsh 2 года назад

I bought the same amp you put on this bike... It's kinda long, HOW did you mount it? I"m sure it can"t just bounce around under the fairing...

@sikbaggers 2 года назад

A little foam under it and some zip ties int he front holes..It aint going anywhere once you slide that outer fairing back on.,

@qbanopro2225 4 года назад

how are those Pro audio 6.5 speakers compared to THE 6.5 Rockford Fostgate, power, sound and performance

@sikbaggers 4 года назад

Rockford Fosgate PPS4-6 6.5" = 100 watts rms @ 159 a pair - PRV 6MR400 = 200 watts rms @ 100 a pair Just 2 examples...RF's are coaxial speakers...apples to oranges compared to Pro Audio and the Price of RF's is ludicrous for what you are getting.

@potato7600 3 года назад

Will this same setup work with a 2018 ultra classic

@jameshorton6417 4 года назад

I have a 2020 Road Glide. If I bought this exact set up (amp and speakers) , would the amp fit in my fairing? Are speakers the same size?

@petelanzone484 3 года назад

Look at the sound digital evox 800.4 amp half the size you can get two of them if you need. And get a DSP wheile you are at it

@DoubleKlutch99 2 года назад

Are you required to flash the radio with this setup? And if so what do you flash it to so I can ask the tech to flash something specific.

@sikbaggers 2 года назад

You can but you dont have to. Just set your radios bass and treble to flat in the middle and tune your amps..then you can make very minute adjustments to them. "flashing the radio really only flattens the radio out and turns on rear channels if you want them on...but this method its not necessary.

@LeJeansJewelers 2 года назад

Have you ever installed the new 400 amp RF in the saddlebags like HD specs? Mine was installed by dealeship and has come off twice ( the amp)

@sikbaggers 2 года назад

Ahh no I have not...I tend to stay away from anything RF outside of their Digital Sound Processor.

@davidsipes1226 4 года назад

Ever have a fob issue after install comp!ete. I have everything connected sounding good but now I have a security issue turm bike on and nothing jiggle a few wires no more fob issue leave it sit same thing turn the key bike is locked jiggle wires unlocked I'm stumped

@sikbaggers 4 года назад

no I havent man...sorry...Sounds like a loose wire for sure...if you are wiggling it and its working id start checking all the connections. Also you may pick up some dielectric grease and hit all the terminals to make sure everything is getting a good contact.

@gudynielsen8780 3 года назад

Hey.. Any problems with amp not turning on when bike is started???..Sometimes😏

@sikbaggers 3 года назад

no, not at all...check your remote wire and make sure it had a good connection...then check your ground..these two things can cause that

@RydinginStyle72 Год назад

Do you have to get the radio flash using that line output converter? Also will that line output converter work with sound digital amplifier?

@sikbaggers Год назад

Having your radio flashed will flatten the outputs creating better sound for your amplifier to work with. however you do not have to do it.

@writer312 3 года назад

Epic video!!! Would that same amount fit in a 21 RGS?

@allenbrooks9968 4 года назад

Do you sell kits like this for a 2013 street glide standard? If so can you send me the link?

@Bassboy1972 2 года назад

Are you not getting the stock radio reflashed to a flat EQ curve before installation?

@sikbaggers 2 года назад

No,,,not with this basic amp install..doesnt really need it..now that being said if you plan on pushing more than 350 watts to each speaker then yes...or if you are using a DSP, then yes, flatten it. But this install is fine with this size amp.

@briancarriere9766 3 года назад

Exactly what speakers are these? I’ve upgraded with another overpriced brand and they sound terrible.

@sikbaggers 3 года назад

These are ds18 pros but they have went down hill in over the last year and I try to avoid them...We mainly use PRV AUDIO 6MR500-NDY Neodymium 6.5" Mid Range

@shawnberger8099 3 года назад

Would a 2017 street glide be the same for the most part?

@jamessmoth8683 4 года назад

My bike already has the boom audio II system front and saddle bags 2 amps, came with the bike. What can I do about upgrading just the speakers?

@sikbaggers 4 года назад

Im not much of a boom audio guy but you can check your specs on your amps and try to stay in that spec range for your speakers. You want to stay in the watts and ohms range of that amp. I would say any pro audio speaker will be an upgrade form the boom stuff...Ive torn out a lot of boom audio...thousands of dollars worth and replaced it all with new amps and speakers..but if you are wanting to salvage the amps just find out the specs and stay in that range and pick a better speaker

@ryd-er-die6697 4 года назад

My stock speakers are on the way out after 14 years...I'm looking to replace them with something better than stock (fronts only)...I'm open to adding an amp but not looking to break the bank on a setup either since I mostly use earbuds on rides longer than an hour...what might you suggest

@petelanzone484 3 года назад

If you mostly use ear buds, then why bother.

@wilkinson949 3 года назад

I'm thinking of going with this setup, do I need to have my bike flashed or does the LOC take care of that? For now I'm just upgrading fairing speakers and putting in amp, but down the road may be adding bag speakers and/or lower pods

@petelanzone484 3 года назад

If you are going to put in an AMP then yes, you will need it flashed to remove the factor set EQ. The thing is I do not think Harley will flash it any more as they will only do it if you go to thier BOOM upgrade. However, you can look up a fosgate certified shop in your area and they can flash it for you. If you do not get it flashed and you hook up an amp then it may pop and sound like crap. If you go with new fairing speaker then I would look at mmats or better yet if you are not into modifying pods look ath the Hertz SX165 NEO SPL for fairing speakers and they are weather proof. Also make sure you use oxygen free copper wire. NEVER use CCA for wiring. And you may want to consider a DSP DSR1 from fosgate especially when you go to rear speakers lids later on down the line. Look at the sound digita; evo x 800.4 amps. Great raw power,

@gillesclavet5543 3 года назад

Good video..i have 2011 Electra glide..any recommendations on a stereo system with amp? Thank you

@sikbaggers 3 года назад

The 2011 more than likely has the 5.25 inch fairing speakers, start there by getting some 5.25 to 6.5 inch speaker adapters off amazon for about 20 bucks...upgrade to a pro audio 6.5 speaker. PRV, Ground Zero, DS18 etc about 200 for a pair is a rough price on pro audio. ....get a Sound Digital 800.4 EVOX 4 channel amp. This is a pretty basic major fairing upgrade from what you have in the bike now. Those speakers are about 35 watt speakers...the pro audios will be around 200-300 watt speakers...you and your passenger wont have any trouble hearing this set up at 70mph half volume.

@shaneadams2244 3 года назад

Do I need to have my 14 SGS flashed after I install an amp on my bike

@tomb.8485 3 года назад

To do it right, yes. Talk to the supplier of your new amp.

@eramirez198121 Год назад

Do you need to flash the radio when you do this?

@sikbaggers Год назад

You do not have to but it will give you a cleaner signal to the amp..."flashing" the radio will flatten all channels and then you can adjust it from there.

@MrMarvin3180 4 года назад

should I get my radio flashed before I start hooking up the amp and speakers to my stock radio? 2020 road glide special

@petelanzone484 3 года назад

@Jeff Burgess Its your choice but it will sound like crap if its not flashed and you already have the amp installed. Another words if you do it after do not play it long or loud until that has been flashed.

Thank you for the video. I see some amps that say you need to 'Flash' the stock unit, and other amps that say no flash needed. Can you comment on the difference, what flashing is, and what you recommend.

@vids173 4 года назад

Assuming you are throwing the old speaker wire away due to fitment issues, why would you cut into the speaker wire on the bike side of the connector instead of the old speaker wire side of the connector? I would think it would be easier to remove a mod system and replace the old Harley speakers in the future if you want to take the good stereo with you to a new bike, but perhaps that wouldn’t be done?

@sikbaggers 4 года назад

You can, you can cut it wherever you want...Ive never personally pulled an old radio out and put it in a new bike but if you wanted to you certainly can

@jrockw1818 2 года назад

How did you mount the amp? I have the exact same amp in my 2021 SGS and I can’t see how you got it mounted.

@sikbaggers 2 года назад

Big zip ties with that amp...customer brought me that bike and the amp...its a little larger than the area provided but its a commonly used amp in touring models. I just zip tied each corner down tight...also if you want you can add some double sided tape to areas that touch so there is no rubbing. That bike is still rocking that amp today.

@BernieJr89 Год назад

Noob here but am I missing what connects the amp to the actual radio?

@sikbaggers Год назад

out of the radio speaker wires, (the pink wires) to the LOC, Out of the LOC to the amp, out of the amp back to the speakers. So the speaker wires that go from the radio to the speakers, you will cut that and add in the LOC and the amp and then reconnect it to the speakers.

@BernieJr89 Год назад

@SIK Baggers fantastic. Thanks. Found a unit from skar (sk-m4004d) that ends up becoming the LOC and gives you rca out then. The market has really grown with this stuff. Any worries on moisture getting to these units while inside? Also going with the ds18's. Hopefully everyone can hear Conway and Garth goin down the highway. Lol
