Rockford Fosgate Speaker Lid Install | Harley-Davidson Custom Audio | Fat Head Cycles

[@timhenry8475]

Can I add to this, the great thing about the Rockford speakers is they are really light, magnet on them is a high powered earth magnet so it’s nice and small for the lid to support the weight.

[@FatHeadCycles]

Tim Henry you are 100% correct.

[@scottscaneh]

I wonder how many scratches were on that lid after he drilled all that plastic out on that blanket and then flipped the lid over and spun it around. The edges after the cut were still very raw

[@timhenry8475]

Or if you have tourpack speakers, the Rockford TMS65’s are absolutely incredible sounding. :-) Pair any of these Rockford speakers up with the tm400x4ad amp and holy WOW!!

[@megatapped]

i have that exact system sounds great til your doing 60plus I'm gonna change to Hertz and it still doesn't doing amp is gone too

[@albertschroeder3306]

I really like your videos. Easy to follow. Just installed your sony 5000 took longer disassembling the bike than the stereo. Awesome job man!!!!!!!! Thx

[@googoo-gjoob]

listen to the 'Merilan' in his voice....also, loved that he substituted speakers.

[@kurtnordine1350]

Oh man my heart sank when you were dragging that lid around in the plastic shavings...😱 glad you didnt scratch up that limited paint job...phew...good video though! I wonder if it would be easier just to leave the lid on with only the latch removed?

[@THATREALDOGE9999]

yes leave the lid on, also his cutting job sucks

[@johnmartinez3035]

I think he did a beautiful job.

[@johnmartinez3035]

I am impress, video is clean and looks very simple. Thanks.

[@MotoCurvesCurls]

We did my husbands 2020 road glide. I almost lost my s$&@ when he cut the hole. Now thinking of doing my new bike. But scared asf.

[@FatHeadCycles]

Don't be scared. Just take your time and follow the template!

[@richardedwin5980]

I had Pete from Soundz install the Focal 6.5" speakers and a 300W amp in my Street Glide at Sturgis a few years ago. Was NOT impressed with the quality of sound. I swapped them for Hertz 6.5" and was way happier.

[@sgtginga]

How was the cabling run. Is there cables at the rear of the bike from Harley. Or a complete run from the head unit/amp. Why did you remove the hinge. Thanks for the videos and products

[@jeremypriest4062]

Love the vid, my savings account hates you for it! Absolute must have!

[@TeensierPython]

I've watched so many of these. Having a fancy color makes this a real difficult project. Even with a black lid i would be nervous but with the expensive color options its really scary.

[@dennissommers3467]

Awesome video thanks

[@davidknows3320]

My heart stopped at the first 1/8" hole. Lol.

[@FatHeadCycles]

David knows after the first hole there is no turning back🙏🙏

What ohm’s are these speakers in this kit TMS69BL9813 ???

[@xspgreenmonster476]

Nice video man, and a clean install on a nice bike!

[@sjbb838]

I had a upper and lower fairing Rockford Fosgate speaker kit installed if I do lead speakers do I need an additional amplifier? Also could I use sound audio along with the Rockford Fosgate set up that I have?

[@timhenry8475]

Go online and look up ‘royalty free music’ there’s a large selection of stuff out there. This will prevent muting and you can still have music in ur videos

[@joeblow4147]

Tim Henry 6

[@daveallen1973]

why did you have to remove the handle for the latch mechanism?

[@mikepsly73]

So why do the the speaker grills says soundz and the title of the video is Rockford fosgate speaker install?

[@reneorellana9300]

Hello I bought this kit can I use with the factory amp.

[@marka.bibbins9447]

Are those speakers marine grade and water proof?

[@dinolineberry4864]

Do these leak my rockford fosgate has always leaked. How do I fix that.

Sub you a while back. Was turning wrenches on Harley's as a kid growing up in the 70's. Thanks for the reply. LFFL LRB

[@FatHeadCycles]

MrHillbilly46 thanks for the love. It means the world. I’ll see what I can do to keep the videos coming at a more regular pace.

[@66biggbubba]

Probably a dumb question but what about the rain? What keeps the rain from pudding up in the speaker of leaking into the saddlebag?

[@dinolineberry4864]

My ? To. I have to rockford fosgate setup and mine leaks and nobody knows how to fix it except put skin it covers on it. I would had to think I would buy a cvo and the bags leaked from the speakers

Where do I order this kit with healthy 6x9 sub and tweeter

what kind of solo seat is that?

[@ADVScott342]

Was wondering if the rockford fosgate amp is compatible with the Sony head units if so is it still plug and play RG2015?

[@Redbeardedbiker91]

What keeps water from leaking into the bag after?

[@BBD40]

Good weather

[@dinolineberry4864]

Nobody can answer this especially people who don't ride in the rain

[@cohiochapin4805]

Just wondering about it not having any drain. Does it just drink water till ya open the lid. Great video

[@FatHeadCycles]

Great question. Most lids do not have a drain so they take on some water during a rain storm or washing. That being said the one thing that this setup claim is ultimate water resistance. Both with the speaker and water getting into the bag. Also remember that while you are riding the wind and the physical movement of the speaker forces the water out of the lid. Thanks for watching!

[@a.anthonycapoccia6102]

How about if it rains?

[@glennspeeds]

I have J&M’s 700 watt amp and J&M’s 7.25 front speakers. With the Rockford Fosgate 6x9 kit installed the J&M 7.25’s blow the 6x9’s away! Does anybody make a better 6 x 9 speaker that will fit in my saddlebag lids without modifying anything?

[@seanmclone1361]

I have the boom audio 2 on a RG Ultra. Front and back. I would like to add the saddle bag lid speakers. And disconnect the trunk speakers. Would I have to get system flashed?

[@bobbyledford1957]

no only the first time radio is used with a amp. speakers dont matter ,the reason they dont hook them up until its flashed is its so powerful itll blow them. until eq is balanced

[@henryhamlet7165]

I want to change my 5x7 to 6x9 do I have to cut out the area where the 5x7 sits

[@Rvzoo310]

Same question as Doug. Do they sell just the cutout kit? Not really digging the Fosgate 6x9. Does anyone know where to get one of these cut out kits?

[@Crashking14]

Boss makes one

[@edwardsaar7163]

Hey really enjoyed your video can you tell me how I can get that 6 x 9 template

you get template in the kit with speakers

[@iron4577]

Is there any kits for royal star tour deluxe? Please

[@tomscobra2003]

Are there other options for upgrading speakers , upgrade to Hertz speakers

[@crazycarl519]

Does this mean it's water proof after doing this? It rains Alot buy me

[@FatHeadCycles]

It is as water proof as speaker lids can be!

[@timhenry8475]

I do need your help tho. Here’s my project I have a 2016 RK. I made an iPad fairing for a batwing fairing I got online. Wiring amps/speakers is no problem. My issue is I have picked up the street glide handle bar switches for the ability to have volume controls. How in the heck do I wire those up lol. THAT would make an awesome video..... there’s nothing out there that I can find online (adding streetglide volume controls to a road king) would be a great video to see

[@FatHeadCycles]

Tim Henry that sounds like a tough one. I believe that the volume is controlled via Can Bus by the BCM. You might need the iPad to integrate with the BCM. Get an Electrical Services Diagnostic manual and start tracing wires. That is where I would start!

[@timhenry8475]

Fat Head Cycles I forgot to mention I have a Sony head unit installed behind the iPad, then the Sony connects to the iPad via the song pal app, integrating them together, how do I connect the Sony to the bike?? So the volume controls work with it

[@timhenry8475]

I have a 2016 Road king. Stereo installed. I’d like to take volume control switches from a 14+ street glide and use them as volume controls on my stereo (currently adding a batwing fairing with a Sony head unit). Is there a way to do this or is this impossible to do

[@myrez9977]

Yeah, buy a street glide

[@timhenry8475]

Same here, I suggest reloading the video with diffferent music. I’m guessing that’s why it’s muted

[@FatHeadCycles]

Tim Henry thanks man. First time ever using music on a video. I’ll get it fixed.

[@FatHeadCycles]

Tim Henry audio is fixed. Thanks again.

I have the stage ll boom audio on my 17 street glide special, will the fosgate speakers work? Snd will Harley davidson have to flash the 300 watt amp so everything works?

[@sffsks11]

Harley boom 2 saddles are 5x7 i have the boom 2 in my front fairing wish i did the J&M rokker 700 watt kit

[@dmartyair]

@@sffsks11 I found out from Harley, nothing but HD audio will flash! I wanted to do the fosgate speakers and the lid cut out so I don't have to worry about paint matching. HD said it won't work with HD boom audio. Just some more shit I wish I had known before I bought my streetglide.

[@sffsks11]

J&M rokker kit is the only system out there you don't have to flash, I go to Laconia bike week every year i have personally heard the 700 watt kit in a street glide special with the bag kit it absolutely destroys boom 2 system, I,m doing the fairing and saddle bags this year, I found company that already has matched painted lids they the fit any 6x9 speaker they are color match perfect already have the lids just missing the audio components

The worst customer service in the business. Break a saddlebag lid? Don't ask for a new template they won't sell it to you at any cost they'll tell you you have to buy a new rear speaker kit to get the template. Not my first running with RF customer service.
