Need Harley sound system advise re elect. requirement

[Rooster57]

Hey Texan!

What up!

I have the cheap JP Cycles= Jones Full Boar pipes on my tri glide..at first I tried the 2 1/2 in baffles (removable on these slip ons) they were too loud to mix with the music as my ears were ringing most of the time when i balance the sound with the pipes....so, I replaced baffles with 2" and got just the right sound mixture ..... turn music up with no more ring ears and nice throaty loud engine rumble! (no cat w/vance & hines exhaust).

..........guess I'm going thru my second childhood and am reverting back to old High School Days when louder music was better!

............am now 64.(Tauri)

Tri Glide front lower fairing speaker update

Well, I just had my Harley Dealer install the High Output electrical system (stater & 54 amp voltage regulator kit)......While I was there at Dealers I asked them to put the lower fairing front speakers in too (I already have Stage 2 Boom system with front and back speakers on my trike)........These people had given me that outrageously high quote on doing this speaker addition a while back and assured me it could be done......

....Well, turns out their Harley shop computer that programs the Boom Audio will NOT let the system for the Tri Glide accept these Boom Audio lower front fairing speakers....................It will only allow programming for Rear fender speakers on trike.

.......they tried to trick the HD program shop computer into thinking it was actually rear fender speakers (though they were actually front lower fairing speakers), BUT Their computer program said "NO WAY!"......guess that's why Harley does't list these lower fairing speakers specifically for the tri glide!

........I actually went to dealer and watched them try it....................No can do this on Tri Glide!!!!.... (saw those lower fairing Boom speakers and these are 4" and didn't seem to be much speaker for the bucks anyway)........

Cheers!

Don't feel bad, I discovered this a while back. It will let one install the rear fender speakers though. Big rip. Sound goes backwards. I ride solo so I sure as heck don't need them.
