DISCLAIMER: Anyone who watches this video: It is not as simple as red and black to battery. That will drain your battery as it will always get power. You must tap the orange wire into your running lights wire of Bike (or some other wire of your choice). Blue on newer streetbobs. Purple on most Roadkings. Not sure for others!
Nice video i'm buying one for my heritage classic. Unless I'm wrong, the speaker does turn on without the bike being powered because only the negative and positive cables were connected. If the switch wire was connected then the speaker would only power on when the bike powers on.
I just installed on a 2014 Road King Easy install for novice. Took tank off to run wiring harness (very easy on this model). Found out just wiring pos/Neg to battery won’t work must run 3rd wire with t-tap for proper install. I used rage Red/white wire going into rear fender for taillights. The unit sounds great even at 80mph highway driving. Has loudness and clarity to compete with aftermarket exhaust. I have Rineharts 4” no problem hearing.
One thing I didn't like about that kind of speaker setup is you have to reach up tot he unit every time you stop to turn the music down and then back up again when you take off. I don't like it blaring when I'm sitting at the stoplight. My Boss system has the remote volume control on the left handlebars so I don't have to take my hands off the controls to change the volume and the speakers are plenty loud fo rout on the highway, so no need to spend way too much for this thing.
that would look nice on my Honda Shadow ACE 1100... I would prefer the sound bar oppose to separate speakers and excess wiring. Thanks so much for the review, gonna look this it!
@@DanielSanchez-gw8qt Yes sounds good up to 55,straight pipes on 06 Sportster May have to make mounts,I have inverted mirrors so had to fab mounts to accommodate location JBL offered a 2 speaker or 4
The highway is where I would want the music to sound good. Not around town annoying the shit outta people. If it's not loud enough at highway speeds, that's a shame
@@CBGypsy03 the bass isn’t too shabby, it’s solid, keep in mind this is installed on a HD Iron 883 this is a city bike. Yeah, you can hop on the highway with no problem whatsoever but at that point you might go ahead and get a bigger bike with built in speakers. And yes, plenty of attention, I’m sure you love it- you’ll get even more on a bigger bike with bigger speakers
You still like the sound bar how is it still wanting one for my Harley too does it have AM FM radio if not it's ok I like Bluetooth streaming off phone
I used the same speaker, it was good but then you get 85+ and it’s really hard to hear and I had a windshield blocking a lot of wind, anyone know any louder speakers?
That’s right. I think the best option if your going to be cruising on the highway is getting a bigger bike with a fairing and some powerful aftermarket speakers. That’s what I would do.👍
@@WulffPackTV omg - so much has changed since i last commented. I added a Sony Bluetooth speaker above it and the sound is amazing. I connected a vance and hines tuner that lives velcroed to the battery and the amazing app running on my phone gives me all the data so no problem if my speedo never sees the light of day again. This set-up ROCKS!!
@@WulffPackTV I have never had a problem with the battery and put 3k miles on it this season, The Sony is actually powered by the usb-out on the soundbar. How do I post a pic?
Yeah idk what to do I want to add tweeters or something to go with it but idk what is compatible I’m in Tennessee and it’s freezing rn so a full helmet is what I rock and I have no windshield having those circumstances I can’t hear anything over 45 mph for real unless it is country music or something with vocals none of my rap I can hear bummer lol
I haven’t been looking/ or seen any lately. The truth is that these speakers are great but not for a motorcycle, they are built more for ATVS. They can/will give you battery problems on a motorcycle. If you love riding with music the best solution is to get Bluetooth Helmet speakers or get a motorcycle with built in speaker
Don’t waste your money. Over 50 mph you can’t hear Jack! I took it off after 2000 miles. Very disappointed. Waste of money. Buy a good BT headset instead.
Its stupid. You can barely hear your self think yet alone hearing music while riding. What are you gonna do listen to 10 seconds of music at every light?
You must look like a shadow going down the road. I'm probably typing to your family because you are probably dead by now. Jk bro, stay extra safe with all that black. Be defensive.
