My Harley-Davidson Street Glide gets an Hertz Audio Upgrade!

[@seansantarsieri2984]

It’s awesome to see an installer that takes pride in their work.

[@redrider0151]

So my wife bought me a Sony 7000 off of Amazon for Christmas this year....who was it from...VOLUNTEER AUDIO!!! WOOT!! It was a PERFECT KIT!!!! Literally took me no time at all to get it installed and everything worked perfect right out of the box! Its crazy, cuz I was telling myself I wish I had someone I could work with like this....and BOOM...I realize I got my radio from them through Amazon!!! CRAZY!!! (we get gift cards through work for Amazon all the time, so I know who I will hit up going forward!!). I had a biketronics amp and Hertz speakers already in my bike and while it sounds great, I have friends who have done the bag 6 x 9's and they just TRULY fill out the sound. You will never get the bass of a 6 x 9 out of those front speakers, so if you have the means, I would ABSOLUTELY do it. They dont take that much room and are worth the upgrade! Man, tall your bike is TEH BOMB!!!! Betweenthe motor, the suspension, and now the audio...holy crap what a SWEET RIDE!!!!

[@volunteeraudio]

Thank you for your purchase and comment

[@tonyrobinson4377]

Two of my favorite people. Tall gives you a honest opinion and Jay at volunteer knows the right product and stands behind them. I use the Hertz speakers o got from Volunteer Audio and it’s clear and loud.

[@TravelingTall]

Did you just call me Talk? Lol, I'm going to tell people to come down there and buy from Joe or John! Just kidding, thanks Tony, I appreciate the introduction, and the support. Have a blessed day. Tall :)

[@tonyrobinson4377]

Auto spell. Dang

[@tonyrobinson4377]

@@TravelingTall fixed it. System sounds great. The technical things lose me, I like the terms like sounds great, looks great and goes fast. However this video has a ton of great info

[@volunteeraudio]

Thanks Tony, your pretty awesome too

[@patriciabramble6704]

My husband loves music. The bike truly sounds loud and adding thee 6 x 9 will complete the upgrade.

[@chrismoore3447]

Tall..man u got to get the 6X9 in the bags man...nothing like crusing playing the oldies..bumping sounds. You won't regret it. I know it sounds good now with the Hertz..you get the bags done..you will be blown away.

[@paintbynumbersllc571]

You will love rear speakers in your saddle bags, the improvement with the addition of rear speakers will blow your mind

[@grayskull7299]

Don't have to stop at even 1 6x9s in the bags. I have 2 6x9s in each lid. And that wasnt enough for me. Added a tour pack with a sub and 2 tweeters! 😁😎 Enjoy the videos! Keep em coming!

[@terencebigt3825]

Nice Tall! Yes, do the 6x9’s you won’t regret it! Congratulations on the new audio!

[@TravelingTall]

Thanks for the advice, will see. Keep watching.

[@tax905972]

the head unit is great. the speakers are the issue. Flash to shut-off the pre-amp and put some clean power into some banging speakers.

[@dionne681]

Hertz Great choice Tall. Honestly I would still recommend investing in a DSP. Its like having the cheat code to audio. specifically the Rockford DSR1 because you can control it from your phone or tablet and its simple and dummy proof. The DSP is much more than a equalizer that flattens your Q curve frequencies. It allows you to push those Hertz to maximum output w/o damaging them, you can also adjust the crossover to-increase or decrease bass or brilliance frequencies in each individual speaker so that it plays what its designed to or whatever you want it to play. Also the DSP has the time alignment feature so you can hear the speakers further away at the same time distance as the speaker closer to you. Just a suggestion bro.

[@TravelingTall]

Thanks for the advice, your comment is beyond my experience with audio, but if I decide to do more I'll look into getting one. Thanks Dionne for watching and commenting.

[@dionne681]

@@TravelingTall YW. Hertz is the truth. Im not suprised how amazing your stage 1 setup sounds. Just imagine if you dropped some 6x9s or 8s in your lids or engine guard pods. Cant wait to see your next mod.

[@screamingchief4889]

I agree with you Donnie. But most likely the amp had a crossover so the guy probably took the low end frequency's off and the tweeter is probably running off a capacitor. Very common setup, it's only a 2 speaker system. At least he flashed the factory eq to level but in all reality the crossover would have taken off those low frequencies to the speakers if he didn't.

[@volunteeraudio]

The factory eq curve was boosted at 160hz the amp wouldn’t have a hpf at 160, and if it did it would sound bad, we set the hpf at 60hz the neo 6.5 will get down

[@c21delta94]

Tall recently you asked us to post updates you should consider. Given that your transformed your oem street glide into a fully loaded performance bagger, it isn’t glamorous but a serious builder would/should run before/after tuning of your bikes calculations of your take & trail. There are numerous rake/trail calculators and system to optimize this critical engineering geometry that defines both low & speed handling, cornering & stability. Further, these measurements are of particular interest as your running larger custom billet wheels.

[@TravelingTall]

Thanks for the advice, my bike has changed a lot, so far the handling has improved over it stock form. The 21 inch wheels didn't effect the maneuverability. It still feels great to me. Or maybe I'm just used to it know.

[@zonktified1247]

Hey Tall, you should have taken the time to put some sound deadening material inside the speaker pods...makes a huge difference in sound direction and rattling.

[@tommiller8714]

Tall - impressed! Learned a lot about Audio Upgrades watching your video. The Tech. was outstanding. My 2-cents: I vote for adding the two 6x9 to the LIds on the bags. Stay safe.

[@volunteeraudio]

Thanks for watching

[@rickyhawkins7407]

Yes, go with the lid speakers. I went with a set of RF in my front and rear and love the sound and clarity. And a suggestion. You changed to black forks on the front, get the Klock Werks smooth axle and axle covers in black. Simple to install and smooth out that area of your front end. I have chrome, and went with a chrome set for my front, IMO it is they way they should look from the factory. Keep the positive coming.

[@jeffbird279]

would love to hear it in person! I don't feel I'd want the rear speakers, but everyone's situation is different. If I rode greater distances on a regular basis away from traffic & the neighborhood I would probably feel differently. Nothing wrong with starting with front and seeing if you want to add the rear later on. Jeff

[@TravelingTall]

I'm not one to blast my music in neighborhoods, but I like to have it when I take long roadtrips. Thanks for the advice Jeff, I may just stick with he front.

[@2009rockerc]

Man those 6x9s in the bags will really wake your sounds up!! They add bass and depth that you can't get from those fairing speakers! Go for it and get those 6x9s!!! Love the videos man!!

[@TravelingTall]

Thanks Jonathan, I think it would sound good but, I am worried about taking up the extra room with speakers.

[@frankhabib5748]

Sounds great; adding bag speakers adds potential for water damage and less luggage capacity. Since you ride one up most of the time what you have now is plenty.

[@TravelingTall]

Thanks for the advice.

[@aubreydavis2739]

Nvs audio talks extensively about waterproofing your bag lids

[@mk6gtirob]

I added these to my 13 street glide along with the hertz spl show neo 6x9. Sounds amazing. Mine is coupled with a fosgate head unit, and a soundigital 1200w 4 channel amp. 🤘 great videos man 👍

[@DetailingHobbyyy]

Where did you put yours crossover for your 6x9

[@dwayneclark61]

Definitely add to 6 by 9 you can't go wrong you'll be happy and thank everyone / saying go with it

[@STLdeano33]

i have the hertz setup with 800 watt amp and 6x9 baglid speakers, sony 7000 head unit same 6.5 hertz front speakers as video, sound is awesome ,had DSP installed but removed it because it was not really needed for my setup, my vote is YES add the 6x9 rears they add alot of punch even at lower volumes and really bang when you wanna ROCK OUT

[@cecet5534]

Nice, get the Hertz 6x9 in the rear! Keeping the factory radio was the rt move as well.

[@TravelingTall]

Thanks for the tip!

[@Scjenkins45]

Yes Tall, get the rear done. I want to upgrade my 2021 SG Audio too… Stock is okay but I want that Stage 2 Rockford Gate….

[@RobertJones-ix2hu]

Sounds awesome, nearly 120db!!! I would definitely still add the 6x9 lids! Will have a more complete sound than what 6.5s alone provide. The difference you experienced with these upgrades will be 2 fold with the addition of the 6x9s. Congrats on the tunes! Ride safe, Tall!

[@tax905972]

I would also recommend using an FM station, your phone's music, and Sirius radios when testing the EQ. FM radio usually has more bass and distortion, because the station has a habit of adjusting it that way.

[@angelnapitan3581]

Yes do the 6x9s rear speakers and be surrounded in beautiful sound. :) I have the CVO Trike which already has the H-D amp, four Stage 1 speakers but IMO still sounds distorted running down the freeway. Now I know what "clean" sound is supposed to sound like. Keep up the great videos!!!

[@jmack03harleyman19]

Tall the system sounds great man you have to have the full package install the 6X9s make it complete brother and bring more smoke out of that system you the man tall I like everything you are doing to the Harley Street Glide awesome!

[@kevinanthony2724]

Nice video he explained the DSP pretty well. Did the same thing you did on my 06 three amps and 12 speakers later it’s sounds pretty good also. Like your riding vids but this ones right up there. Keep them coming we have a foot of snow.

[@Rusty_nutz_bike_shed]

I went with the Rockford fosgate stage 3 love it ez install all plug and play and sounds amazing stock stereo I was always trying to turn it up more now you you ain’t looking for more volume you are turning it down I find my self at 3/4 volume most of the time

[@kevinllamar]

Good break down of install and review sounds good. Yes do 6x9 in the lids for a better effect and sound stage.

[@EverythingsRegular]

Does sound good

[@chromecbr1000]

Hey Traveling tall I think you should do the 6X9 and put speaker in your lower pod this is what I have and it sounds great only thing I don't have hertz speakers

[@volunteeraudio]

We can get you some hertz speakers 1 [phone]

[@TeensierPython]

Go for lid speakers. But maybe get new lids with speaker cut-outs already made? I think you can buy them color matched right from Harley.

[@TravelingTall]

If I do 6x9s they will be new lids. Thanks for the advice.

[@TeensierPython]

[@jarvisfarrell1344]

I believe you should do the 6×9 speakers in the bags. You ride alone a lot and it makes a big difference. I turned my streetglide into an ultra just to be able to add more speakers.

[@Wagz41]

Add the 6x9’s in the rear, you won’t regret it! Nice job Jay on the installation!

[@primetyme1494]

Do the saddle speakers and the speakers in lowers it will sound awesome

[@mauricejohnson7121]

Add Hertz 6x9 neo in lids. You will love it.

[@RGlide514]

You always get better sound using a dsp. You would use the dsp after u flash the harley radio flat, not use the dsp to remove the harley factory curve. Dsp let's u fine tune to get a better sound no matter what....

[@volunteeraudio]

Sound is very objective, it’s hard to tune a dsp to someone else’s likes, everyone hears a little different and have different opinions on what sounds “good”. With a flat eq tall can now adjust the bass or treble to his liking with the eq in the bike. Yes with a dsp there is more eq adjustment but we didn’t need time alignment and had correct filters built into the amp. Tall doesn’t own an rta or has the desire to adjust 30 bands to his liking. Just trying to give a great sounding system that’s easily repeatable with easy adjustment for the average rider

[@CoopCooperCoop559]

Those 6x9's are a game changer.

[@cuttinup68]

Rear speakers are ok around town. On long rides it does matter you don't hear them .

[@Djwiz2845237]

FYI: you don't want to loose your bag storage by mounting speakers in the bags.

[@markridesashark5596]

I bet that's loud. I think he just talking about putting one on each side. Thanks for the advice,

[@shasiceruti8994]

Sounds crisp & loud. No need for the rear you have them Khrome Werks back there to listen to. Lol be safe Tall👍🏾👍🏾

[@lakesidelew2512]

The speakers in the saddlebag lids will make the lids heavy and take up space. But it sounds like you already have a good loud system now that it's upgraded. You'll know if you want them when you get out on the road and try it out. Sometimes you just want to hear the music coming out of the Mufflers.

[@volunteeraudio]

The hertz neo speakers are a lot lighter than most other speakers

[@topdogg720]

Yes ,, Tall please have the rear speakers installed..he sounds very knowledgeable about the sound and install , next ?! Price and labor ,, I also noticed that he's very careful removing the parts from the bike an careful with the reinstall an do I need an appointment ?! I'm in South Georgia.

[@paulbronnenberg2075]

I would LUV to know the cost ... may be just a hint? In my opinion .... rear speakers/amp depends on how much do you listen to your radio on a ride. I personally DO NOT listen to my radio that much on a long ride. So I would not add the rears unless the cost was something I could not pass up (< $500.00) I was super impressed with the installation .... very professional ..... THANKS FOR SHARING !

definitely get the 6x9's and probably an advent black top box with a 8-10 inch sub

[@sokodad]

What equipment was used again? Model numbers etc. What wheels you have on your bike?

[@paineys3341]

I added a Diamond Audio Micro 4v2 amp, Biketronics BT355 and Hertz speakers. `When I bridged them I ended up blowing two sets of speakers! In the end decided to change back to Infinity Kappa speakers (slightly cheaper) and not bridge them, happy with the output.

Got to set the amp correctly or you can blow any speaker, distortion melts voice coils

You have to go outside and listen to it. Everyone be talking about loud, but not clear with all highs, midrange, and bass. It should sound as if you're in a recording studio. I have them in the bags and lower fairing. If you like music, you will love it, MORE!!
