Dude... You mentioned how the speakers sound better with the motor off, I've thought that forever with mine too, I thought I was making that 💩 up! Thank you for confirming!!
Factory radio needed to be flashed. The EQ was set to account for the garbage factory speakers. Those Infinity speakers have a lot of potential, even with the factory radio.
Dude I'm the only person I know that knows Soul Asylum! Thanks for the vid, I just got back into riding and think I bought the wrong bike (Softail Slim). Rode a 17 Street Glide Special yesterday and loved it
Michael Schaefer yeah Soul Asylum is oldie but goodie lol. Ever since project Rushmore the touring bikes have been the way to go imo. Nothing better than to get up in the morning having a touring bike and say, Where do you want to go today? In a perfect world that would be a great combination to have both bikes. I might add that the new Milwaukee eight motor is a beast!
They are good. I have been running Kappas in my last two bikes. They seen rain and water splash from bike washes. They didn't fail. Infinity stands behind their product too. If they stop working just hit them up and they will send you a new set with a ups code to send the broken ones back.
Hmm, not motorcycle or outdoor rated speakers.. but you should also have put the speaker grills on before/ when you played again with new speakers as that will affect the sound.
Hi Steve! Do you like these even on the hwy? Also, were you able to connect without issue or did you have to make new connectors? I have a 2018 Road Glide Ultra and the stock speakers past 50MPH are bad to me, just hurt my ears and hard to understand.
Does anyone know how he connected these speakers to the stock HU since these speakes dont have the quick diconnect spade terminals? Most people run an amp so I can't seem to find any discussion on this.
stock radio isn't enough to push those speakers, install an amp, Kicker PXA200.2 - 2x100-Watt Full-Range Amplifier. Night and day difference in volume and sound quality.
its not bad at all.. takes about two hours, you'll need a basic amp install kit (Walmart for $20) with some connectors (walmart). Its speaker wires going into the amp from the deck then speaker wires going out of the amp to each speaker, a ground, a power and the blue wire that tells the amp to turn on. Power went to the battery + connection. The ground cannot be installed near the amp, not enough ground on that part of the bike. Had to run a ground wire to a factory ground location in front of the battery. The blue wire.. There are two big plugs that would be used with a Harley brand amp, simply turn on the ignition switch to accessory, test the wires to see which one has power. Shut the switch off, test again. Determine which wire is a switched power and splice the blue wire into it. Before turning the amp on for the first time, turn the radio volume down all the way, get into the deck to make adjustments.. turn the bass and treble all the way down. Read the directions on the amp. The kicker amp mentioned in my previous comment has multiple adjustments. turn the "gain" all the way down. Then turn on the amp using the ignition switch going to accessory. I plugged the trickle charger in so the battery doesn't get low. Now start making adjustments.. increase the volume first, if it doesn't sound good then make adjustments on the amp. I ended up using the 120 hertz option on the amp and the gain was turned up about 50%. I really want to hear the sound going down the road and the Infinity speakers can take it! Start adjusting your bass and treble to where you like it. Before the amp was installed compared to post install.. volume is up at least 75% or better. There is an adjustment on the deck (via the touch screen) that slows the amount of volume increase each time the volume button is turned up or down. If I were to do a second install with the same amp, it would only take about an hour.

Please every one reading this.....DO NOT buy a wal mart amp install kit. It will have CCA wire instead of OFC copper. (To anyone that says it’s a short run and it doesn’t matter your an idiot) When you guys buy amp kit make sure it says 100% OFC wire. (Oxygen free copper). Every single tenth of a volt matters on a bike. Their charging systems are not like cars. A quality install kit is going to run no more than $40 shipped. Honestly 98-99% of the guys out there should really take the bike and have the install done by a shop that knows audio or someone that is an audio expert. Every single bike I have ever touched has has multiple issues with the previous install. It should run about $100 to get an amp installed on almost any bike..... it will be worth every penny, I can promise that!
Hy guys, i've buy this speakers but my HD ROAD GLIDE SPECIAL 2016 run on the rain and this one are not water proof............ why have you mounted this speakers? i'm live in italy
Scott Wheeler I was hoping for a bigger difference from the stockers. There certainly not worse, but I did expect a bit more. I feel as though they would really do well with an amp. Mids and bass are much better...just need more power IMO
Mitchell Stern speakers are holding up fine. Definitely better than stock but I believe they need an amp to really sound great. I plan on getting amp one day and update this video when I do.
shaun brown you have to cut off the factory connectors then the bare speaker wire pigtails in for a nice secure fit. I would recommend running an Amp for better sound as the head unit simply doesn't have quite enough power imo. Hope this helps. I'm currently searching for a new amp myself as we speak.
Dude... You mentioned how the speakers sound better with the motor off, I've thought that forever with mine too, I thought I was making that 💩 up! Thank you for confirming!!
I agree stock louder at low volume but not a huge range when cranked..I put Kenwood in mine..sounds good
Sound good. what the speakers model # . thinking of doing the same on my 14 FLHXS

I love Runaway Train-Soul Asylum!
Small magnet and huge magnet? Do you know the difference between neodym and ferrite magnet?
The question is...how do they hold up to the elements?

These are the speakers used : Infinity Kappa 62.11I 150W 6.5-Inch 2-Way Kappa Series Coaxial Speakers

@@scotty2221 I would say these are minor upgrades over stock IMO...really need more power to get the most of these.
What are the ohms
If you changed it is the audio better Q
How did you get the speaker grills off without messing up your fairing?
Any updates , just saw your video today
Does anyone know how he connected these speakers to the stock HU since these speakes dont have the quick diconnect spade terminals? Most people run an amp so I can't seem to find any discussion on this.
love the PORSCHE Sr and the Road Glide too nice video i actually watch it till the end lol.
Chilakiller thanks
He just waited for that 🤣🤣

Steve what happened to Part 2?
I’m doing a whole Infinity Kappa System on my bike. Video should be done by next week. Bike is in the shop as we speak!
brigantinecastle I just never got back around to adding the amp. Stereo sounds good enough for he moment so I have left it alone.
Hy guys, i've buy this speakers but my HD ROAD GLIDE SPECIAL 2016 run on the rain and this one are not water proof............ why have you mounted this speakers? i'm live in italy
I live in San Diego...no rain here LOL. I really don't ride in the rain on a serious note.
What screws did you use? I have same speakers and same bike. Stock screws are not long enough to grab. Thanks
What brand and model, or a amazon link!
What seat did you put on your bike? I am looking at a Danny gray solo seat for my road glide and the quick video I saw of yours looks awesome.
That seat is a Mustang Solo Tripper seat
infinity imo is the best!
Hawg Wired Amp. U wont be sorry. Harleys are the Best, _ _ _ _ the Rest!
Yes, I think these would rock with an amp. How hard is that to install?
after riding it, what is your thoughts vs. the stock ones?
Scott Wheeler I was hoping for a bigger difference from the stockers. There certainly not worse, but I did expect a bit more. I feel as though they would really do well with an amp. Mids and bass are much better...just need more power IMO
Did you flash the head unit to fix the eq?
No I never did. Sold the bike but was fine stock
ciao , la musica di chi è???
If you have higher ohms you'll eventually the stereo or the amp the stock Harley just a speaker change needs 2 ohms
you never did the up date. how are they holding up and how are they on the road? Thanks
Mitchell Stern speakers are holding up fine. Definitely better than stock but I believe they need an amp to really sound great. I plan on getting amp one day and update this video when I do.
Steve Gutierrez thanks
Steve Gutierrez didn't you install a kenwood amp?
Steve Gutierrez buy a diamond audio micro amp ask around best amp for our bikes period hands down
bokoo bougie sorry guys, no amp yet as I just been super busy with the Kiddo's.
was it just plug and play. because I'm wanting to do the same thing
shaun brown you have to cut off the factory connectors then the bare speaker wire pigtails in for a nice secure fit. I would recommend running an Amp for better sound as the head unit simply doesn't have quite enough power imo. Hope this helps.
I'm currently searching for a new amp myself as we speak.
Thanks that's what I needed to know
I have a diamond audio just not installed, local shop uses them and they sound awesome
Good info, full disclosure I give you a thumbs down for a lack of respect for your neighbors.
Needs an amplifier
What size are those?
scootc carr 6.5"
I think I got a stroke with all the moving around of the camera 🤮
JJ Luv...I’m glad you made it. Getting old sucks.
Turn the music off when your talking can't freaking hear you.
Leudwig vonshwartsenhelm noted! Thanks for watching.
