Thanks for providing the steps for replacing the battery and providing a great option for the battery!

I have purchased and owned both of these units for my Street Glide. I initially purchased the Soundstream, but there were issues with it. Sometimes the screen would go blank randomly, I could hear my music but the screen was blank. This happened several times and the only way to fix it was to turn it off, and then back on. I eventually had enough when the neutral indicator on the screen wouldn't work unless there was pressure being put on the screen. When pressure was removed it wouldn't work. I took it back to the shop and they asked if I wanted a new one installed or if I wanted the Diamond Audio. I chose the Diamond Audio. After installation I immediately noticed how much faster the Diamond Audio is and how much slower and delayed the Soundstream is. The Diamond Audio also has WIRELESS Android Auto/Apple Car Play. The Soundstream is wired only and would randomly disconnect. I hated riding with my phone attached to my handlebars, but with the Diamond Audio I can put my phone in my pocket and it stays connected to Android Auto with no issues. The Diamond Audio screen is also better imo because I don't notice nearly as much glare as I did with the Soundstream. The Soundstream was hard to see at times. Overall, I like the Diamond Audio a lot better.

Im from the Navy and a Firefighter. Cursing is a second language 😂. I am upset I purchased the radio before realizing it doesn't have headset support. Not a big deal. Thankfully i have an android phone using Waze.

Great video content you all. Sending appreciation from #SumterSC

Good morning sir suggestion can you do a video on a tour of your tool wall on how to set it up like that and what you used if possible thanks your videos always are always easy to follow.

👍🏾great job J

Great review! But I’ve never been able to find out why you don’t use Cicada Audio products.

Thank you. Excellent review.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. I remember 30 years ago when Diamond Audio was an absolute top tier brand. To be fair, even Soundstream has dropped in quality from their made in USA heyday, but the V2 I bought from you guys is at least pretty good.

Thanks Jay !....Glad I bought the Soundstream Radio !

@Diamond Audio. Needs to see this

Diamond audio stopped being a quality product back in around 2007 era All junk stuff now

Great review and thanks for your honesty and valuable information. I wish your company would be a vendor during Daytona Bike Week.

😮😮😮

Thank you for sharing this information as a consumer without the equipment to check the specs myself I rely on the company's honesty in making my decisions to purchase some products if the product is good it will sell itself so why be dishonest?

Honesty is best Policy. I have done 2 Roadglides now all Hertz and one has A2B interface. You have never given me bad products or advice. I would lose my mind if I bought that and an Apple update killed the CarPlay. Great video of Facts Jay, as always.

This... right here is exactly the reason i spent my money at Volunteer Audio, and will never recommend, or take my business anywhere else. 5 stars buddy! Keep doing what you do so well! P.s. im probably one of the most foul mouthed persons i know, but i couldn't agree with you more that the cursing on the product is horrible business practice.

I appreciate your honesty!!

PLEASE tell me what those bars are on that street glide.

I bet the vast majority of us don't care about a few swear words on a box. Not all of us riders are church going men nor do we pretend to be to

Don't the roadglide and streetglide from those years use the same radio?

Thank you for this information. As someone not in the industry, I would not have known about some of these specific items. It is too bad people and companies try to deceive, rather than just producing a quality item.

Diamond Audio, can we have a response? crickets......zzzzzzz

very good information Jay. and facts are facts

Thank you!

I’m so happy I found a honest businessman! I bought my first Harley in September 2024 SG and i bought the new Hertz amp and speakers absolutely love it. My buddy has diamond auto and he wants to upgrade,thanks Jay. PS still waiting on the cutting kit.

GREAT video Jay! Looks like diamond got caught with their pants down. Feelings don't like facts and facts don't care about feelings!

That is why VA is my go to for HD Audio love my Hertz pack! 👊🏻

Hey Buddy love the content! when are you gonna start doing Spyders and Rykers

That's probably one of the most professional side by side reviews I have seen in a very long time. Just the facts and still leaving the choice up to the consumer to decide. If more small businesses would take the time to research for quality instead of sales, there would be fewer small businesses going under. You're on the top of your game Jay, and all of you at Volunteer Audio. VA's Ethics, Morals and quality concern for our lifestyles is enriching. Thank you all for everything you do for us. Lifetime customer here.

Hey Jay, thanks for another stand-up review! I am so thankful to have found your channel and your very in-depth reviews of your products. I've gotten the full V2, and stage 6 speaker upgrade with the 1000 watt amp, along with the Titan8 battery! You are my go-to place for all things motorcycle audio, etc. Keep up the good work! Who or what kind of business puts expletives on their products!?!?! Not only unprofessional, but regardless of the type of biker they cater to, 100% unacceptable.

Unfortunately in our current society foul language is readily accepted. It is a shame.

They trying to be sneaky and shady with misleading information. Trying to be cool by using curse words, then have the audacity to try and sell this scamming junk to bikers. Like you said, there’s always Walmart. LOL

Using curse words on your packaging is enough to make me not want to buy it. (I'm not a prude) There is no place for that language on packaging

Thank goodness I bought my Soundstream radio from you! God Bless, have a great New Year

Amen that cursing has no place in business.....It took me a long time to train my installation crews that they have to watch their language when on a job at a customer's home. People that curse all the time seem to think that it's normal, but to the rest of us it's simply crude and offensive. I had a friend tell me something one day....my response was, "Bill, do you have any effin idea how many effin times you said eff in that last effin sentence?" He said, "Do I really sound like that? I had no idea." Many people curse without even realizing that they are doing it. It's a nasty habit. It really makes me cringe when I hear men talking that way in front of their children. What ever happened to manners?

Nice video Jay. You publish information that us "normal folks" aren't always privy to, appreciate it, thanks! God Bless and Happy New Year!👋😇👍

Do i need to have my phone plugged into the radio for google maps like the boom radio?

Does it have a way to speak when talking a phone call. On the boom i can hear through speakers when i answer the phone but there is no mic built into the bike for the other person to hear me.

I have a new V2 in the box that I had purchased a month ago. Should I go ahead and install it and then to the update? Any reason to do anything else before the install?

I just did mine,just curious why it say supports thundermax only? I don't have thundermax so will it work fine with the stock ECM? I haven't hooked it up yet.

Nice video, I purchased a hertz amp from you about a month ago for my factory gts radio, I now have the reserve Si,do I need a new wiring harness or unplug the RCA cables that leading to the GTS wiring harness?

Bless you all, and thank you.

I have a 22 Road Glide Limited, all stock. I am interested in what you did today however, I have two tour pack speakers, can I do the install you did here and add the tour pack speakers later? Also, you mentioned I could totally avoid flashing IF I do the install in this video, is that accurate? Do you have anymore info on the Sound Design unit you installed on your website? Is Car Play an option? Lastly I am confident I could do the the install myself, how much does this system cost out the door shipped to the customer? I realize there are a lot of questions but this video has me re-considering installing a Rockford Fosgate Gen 3 Stage 2 system. I like what you did here.

Thank you so much! This is really helpful, now I have to figure out if the RF Gen 3 Stage 2 system will require flash on my 22 Road Glide Limited....I'll be looking in your posted videos....Great resource

Hi, why in the video it show positive and negative, why not only positive?

Is there any way to install these probeam lights into where stock lights go without removing the spacer that makes the tail light stick further out the back?

Im going to be installing this on my 2000 road glide and wanted to upgrade the fairing speakers and was wondering if an amp upgrade is required or if im able to run the speakers off the new deck?

Will it work on the 2024 road glide?

Merry Christmas to you and your family! Enjoy your time off. I will see you soon when those lid kits come in. Thank you for all you do!
