Just ordered combo with hertz speakers. Happy that my purchase will also help contribute to the mission of mount pisgah printing. Will be impatiently waiting install video and order to get on my bike. Thanks, Jay. Thanks Volunteer Audio. GO CATS
Thank you so much!
Just ordered my system about an hour ago for my 2024 Road Glide! Can't wait!
Thank you!
@@volunteeraudio no...thank you from Indiana!
Hi Jay, Good concise video once again. Looking forward to the installation video. You have the cleanest workshop we try to keep our 'Green Room' clean but yours leaves ours a bit behind.
I had a look on the Kenwood website in relation to the XM160-2 their tech spec's are not that detailed, am I correct in thinking this amp has a mini DSP onboard to deal with the H-D low end EQ issue? Regards, MS325.
Yes there are circuits designed to lower the stock bass boost, the skyline radio has a +14db bass boost with eq set flat. Thank you for watching!
Sounds amazing! I just installed the excelon system in my 2019 RGS and it rocks for sure.
Now that you mentioned it, would it be an option to swap to the hertz speakers in mine?
Yes you could swap to hertz speakers if you wanted to
I love love love your videos SO helpful and you can tell this company is simply a great company that cares Does this same system also work or can it be installed in a 2023 Street Glide Special as well? Looking for an upgrade to the current stock 2 speaker system without breaking the bank Thanks much
We have a kenwood excelon system for your bike too, here is a link volunteeraudio.com/product/kenwood-excelon-p-hd1f-upper-fairing-audio-kit-for-select-2014-up-harley-davidson-motorcycles
Just ordered the hertz+amp Hopefully enough to hold me over till the full hertz system comes out
Thank you
Man that sounds great plenty loud enough and clear for me what do you suggest for the 21 roadking special
We don’t have any plug n play solutions for road kings, we have some amp / speaker kits that use Bluetooth amps but require custom wiring on your end, search Roadking at www.volunteeraudio.com
Can I use a Rockford Fosgate M5 800x4 amp with what kit?
Bro!! I was sold as well with walkaway. Just ordered the kit.
Thank you!
Excited for this but want to see the install video before I order. I'm not really familiar with amp/speaker upgrades as that's one thing I haven't wrenched on much since I was a kid. What's the power cord running to the battery for? Does this have a constant power draw if the bike is off? Just want to see how it plugs in, so will wait for the next installment if you have any left 😂
No the amp only pulls from the battery when ignition is on, the next video will go over install
Just purchased the kit with the hertz speakers! Excited for this!
Thank you!
I was sold when I heard you walk away from the bike! Just put my order in for the Hertz combo!
Thank you!
That was definitely impressive!
I bought a new 24 Road Glide and yes, the stereo is extremely pathetic. I will definitely be ordering this system from you
Thank you
Jay thanks for you and your companies hard work on this. I have been waiting for the HERTZ replacement amp. Will the better Hertz system be ready within the next couple of months? Hate to spend the extra $460 on this amp if the better option will be ready sooner than later. only worth it to me if it wont be available for months.
Yes we are still moving forward with the hertz solution and will have videos up within a few weeks showing it off
If I decide to wait, would it be better to get the Neo's now that they are on sale?
Just ordered the amp. Already had the hertz neos installed trying to get better sound.
This will be a huge improvement
Please, hertz vs kenwood video!
Great fricking job guys, hook me up!
Thank you! You can purchase at www.volunteeraudio.com
Where are you guys with the 24 CVO (non st) speaker/sub upgrade kits?
Just waiting on a transport company to ship our cvo back and we will make a video on our solution and launch preorders, subs will be awhile yet
I upgraded my 2020 RGL with equipment I bought from VA. Loved it! Traded the bike in on a 2024 with the RF Stage 2 upgrade thinking I would be in good shape. I’m so disappointed! No where NEAR as loud and clear as what I had. Love the new bike, but I have a little bit of buyers remorse spending that extra 4K on the stage two. I could have done much better with 4 grand going through VA. Live and learn I guess…
Thank you! The future is a long time, we will be here next time you upgrade your audio
Trying to. order plug n play for the 24 roadglide but it is out of stock…. and there’s a July 4th sale!!! any idea when you will have more in stock?
Thanks
Within a week or two, give us a call Friday and we will add you to a waiting list and we will call you once available 1-844-30AUDIO
How's the Amp coming for the road glide 2023 cvo I installed the hertz speakers a month ago ready for amp
Should have a video up in a few weeks going over it
what do I need for my 23 CVO street Glide ?? need a strong AMP & better Speakers ( HERTZ ) thats a very easy plug & play instal !! please help me out .
We have a full plug n play system that will be available end of this month
Does the HZ SP4.900 amp fit in the 2024 Street Glide? I’m wanting to use the bigger amp with two fronts and add the rears later. Worried that the HZ won’t fit into the 2024. Thanks for a great channel.
Not without our a2b amp interface that removes the stock amplifier, it will be available late July
Hi Jay, does the SP4.500 fit in the new 24 SG? It’s smaller than the SP4.900.
I was going to go the Kenwood route as I already have the hertz sx165 neos fitted. Thought the smaller hertz would be better quality and 4 channel for future proofing.
I need that
Many do
Immediately purchased! Can't wait to hear this! How long until these start shipping? I might just go take my bike apart now with all the storms we are getting.
Thank you!
@@volunteeraudio installed this with the hertz speakers. The black negative plug in on factory harness doesn't fit so much on the hertz neo speakers. I had to take a pair of pliers and crimp it down pretty tight to make it a tight fit on the speaker connection. Also I rerouted the headlight wiring instead of going up through the normal spot I pushed it down and zipped up the slack and tucked it underneath to make it easier to stick the kenwood amp in place. I felt like the wiring was being smashed or in the way the way harley had it ran. Other than that went pretty well. Took me longer just following your step by step video prob more like 4 hours as I took my time and didn't want to break anything. Having 2xl size hands makes it tough in a tight spot lol. Very pleased just reply for maybe a fyi if anyone else would ask. Thanks!
@cjkirk30s thank you, yes we always squeeze the stock terminals tighter for a good connection.
How long do orders take to ship out? Ordered on 2/28 and no shipping update yet. Ordered new systems for two of my bikes.
We are working on orders from the end of march, what did you order? Did you preorder a v2 radio which has not started shipping yet? Give us a call tomorrow at 1-844-30AUDIO
@@volunteeraudio Hertz speaker package for 2023 CVO Road Glide and Hertz speakers and amp for 2015 E Glide Ultra.
So how is this plug and play if their is the need for an AMP turn on wire that needs to be installed tapping into one of the factor wires? That will cause warranty issues I’m sure.
We send a 3m posi tap that connects to the P&a accessory wiring in the fairing, factory fused and will not void any warranty
Got it. Not plug and play then. Accessory connection or not I’m not tapping into factory wiring. That’s just 1 more thing for them to give you an issue on if there is an electrical issue.
Question. I already dropped a bunch of money on Rockford bag and fairing speakers any chance I can just change the amp? Hopefully
Rockford amp is better than this bandaid solution. Do not! Switch a fosgate for this.
@@JFish-rg3piso I can just trade out my Rockford speakers for hertz?
This is a 2 speaker amp only, we have a hertz replacement amp solution that should be shipping in July, 1000 watt rms, 2000 watt peak that will run up to 8 speakers, yes the hertz speakers are louder and more efficient than your Rockford speakers and make a big difference
Any update on the 2023.5 CVO Roadglide?
What's happening at Volunteer Audio! Soundstream V2, 2024 Model Updates (A2B Interface), and more!
ua-cam.com/video/-isXlONnVRQ/v-deo.html
if i order this system will i be able to add 2 more speakers eventually down the road
No, this amp is 2 speakers only, our hertz solution coming in July will run up to 8 speakers
Well guess I’m going to have to put in some overtime to get this. 😂
Get to work lol!
I may be in your area in a couple weeks, do you do installs at your shop?
We do by appointment
Been trying to order says the amp is out of stock. Any idea when this will be back in stock?
Check back, we are expecting more from Kenwood soon, hopefully in a next week or two
Thanks for quick reply. Can’t wait really want to hear it with the hertz speakers. I’ll be checking daily. Lol
Sold
Have you done a video for a 2024 Streetglide?
Made the video Saturday, I will post it next week sometime
Whats the difference in the two kenwood speaker options?
The xm65f has a strontium magnet, the xm65r has a Neo magnet
@volunteeraudio, which speaker set up is better? I looked on your website, and both are the same price. Or is that an error?
Will this amp work with the Rockford Fosgate stage II speakers I already have just as loud? It’s so loud but I think you said it was only two speakers running. I would rather power the two I have and wait on the full Hertz system
This is the answer I’m waiting for as well.
They can power the fosgate speakers but the hertz sx165neo will be at least 3db louder due to efficiency, if you planning to go all hertz later go ahead and get the fairing speakers while they are on sale $100 off
@@volunteeraudio the Fosgate speakers have nicer speaker grills. That was another deciding factor in getting the Rockfords, I have that cheap looking plastic speaker grill on the standard speakers.
@@hydroboy35th you can buy the grills without the speakers, we also have logos to go on those grills that say hertz
@@volunteeraudio ohhh good to know, thanks!
Where are you getting the signal from to run into the Kenwood?
From the output of the stock 200 watt amp
@@volunteeraudio
Didn't you say that taking the output of the amp to power another amp would void the warranty or damage the system?
@@dimaggiodt no, I referred to modifying the frame and cutting the headlight or stock wiring
Are you getting anymore amps in stock? Try to order this system, said you have no amps.😢
@@theOnlydoubleP soon, you can call 1-844-30AUDIO to be added to a waiting list
Any idea when the amps will be back in stock?
Soon we hope, Kenwood is sold out of amps currently
How long are you thinking before the full system will be out?
We are just waiting on a transport company to bring our cvo back from our engineers so we can film our new a2b interface / hertz amp solution, within a few weeks we will have it up and start preorders for that solution
Will this work with hertz speakers? I just ordered those from you too! Lol
Yes
volunteeraudio.com/product/kenwood-excelon-xm160-2-2-channel-amplifier-for-2024-harley-road-glide-street-glide-80-watts-rms-x-2
When will this be back in stock? I would like to get it!
I hope soon, Kenwood ran out of amps
So am I correct that we won’t be able to connect saddlebag speakers with this amp?
Correct. You’re better off with the Harley Rockford amp. More power, 4 channel and not amplifying a speaker output. His last video put down others doing this now he’s shilling this until the “$3k+” hertz system comes out. Ok buddy is it going to be a $2k amp?
Appreciate the effort you put into products for our bikes but town down the bs please.
How many times can you say void warranty in one video? Which is complete bs and you know it.
@@JFish-rg3pigood to know. I do feel like this was a bit of a bait and switch after the last video touting a solution to the problem. To the uneducated buyer, based on the messaging some may think this is the final plug and play solution but sounds like this is just a money grab for an unnecessary intermediary amp.
If you want a low cost solution to make it where you can hear the audio this is for you, if you want over the top awesome our a2b interface and hertz solution is coming soon but at a much higher price, there are 2 different types of people. Some want to hear it, some want to feel it. We are building both solutions
I think your missing what was said, we are not going to make a solution that requires cutting up the bike. And we are still making a very powerful solution that we will go over in the next few weeks
Sx165 Neos already ordered from you. Could you pop them in the bike with that Kenwood amp so we could hear that combo. A quick 10 minute video.
I will in a few days
Wowwwwwwww
Thank you!
Well crap. Just got a 24 Roadglide yesterday and yes stereo sucks. Found you on UA-cam and wanted to order but your out of stock on amps :(. Please let me know when you’re back in. I’m def ordering. ASAP
I just checked, In stock
just ordered i really hopes its loud lol
It’s much louder than stock!
Do you have a solution for car play yet ?
We will have it out soon
Jay I’m after 900-1000 watts Hertz only …. For the Cvo road glide 23
Coming soon, should be shipping in July
I have a 24 Road Glide and have purchased the 500w amp from Harley. I already had some Hertz 6.5’s. Can I do anything better? Please let me know.
We will be releasing more info on our hertz 1000 watt rms solution in the next few weeks
I want to see the new bag cut out kits
How much to upgrade my 2024 street glide?
volunteeraudio.com/product/hdpkg2280-audio-upgrade
Are the speakers waterproof?
Weatherproof, the hertz speakers are more waterproof but that term would mean you could submerge them under water
Can I just get the amp? I have the Rockford Fosgate speakers in the front fairing.
It’s a 80w amp which is sad. Get the Rockford 500watt.
80 watt rms x2, check out our dyno video of the Rockford 500 watt, it did 78 watts per channel
@volunteeraudio is there any different in wattage from the 500w amp that outputs 78w per channel and this kenwood 80 watt per channel system?
@@BradUlaszek no about the same, this is to upgrade from the 200 watt factory amp at a lower cost
@@volunteeraudio how can they get away with misleading the wattage by that much?? Almost doesn’t make sense.
So sad it takes another 1k to get a decent system. Guess we know now where Harley skimped us.
This is the worst factory system we have ever tested, this solution is way under 1k, starts at $658
The bike is cheaper than previous model, can’t have your cake and eat it too. Harley had to cut cost somewhere.
@@christiangilmore5595 I can’t really think of any time Harley gave any “cake” away. If you want to be invited to the birthday party, you better bring a preset associated with a $ amount 😂
@@josephgalligher1058 Cost to live like this! They got gold wing parties if that’s what you prefer!
@@volunteeraudio , love you videos, fast response and concrete solutions to solving the problems. However, I don’t think way under is almost 2/3 of $1,000. If it was a 1/3 of the cost I would agree with way under. But non the less, my point isn’t about the price of the solution, it’s just about how Harley is always going to leave something on the table that the consumer is going to have to spend more money on.
So Im the kind of guy that just wants to hear the music going down the road. Decent quality and loud enough to hear the music at 80 on the interstate. Which system is most economical. Dont need stage V stereo ! :)
This system does just that, economical and you can hear it
How many watts does this have?
80 watts x 2
@@volunteeraudioat 2 ohms. Output will be less at 4 ohms. Let’s see this one on the dyno for kicks. Would really like to know how it compares to the factory fosgate offering which is plug and play.
@@johnfish3552 we are using 2ohm kenwood speakers and 4 ohm hertz, as usual the hertz are louder even though they are 4ohm due to efficiency, they are 3-6db more efficient than most other speakers and you have to double wattage to gain 3 db using power alone
Anyway I can talk on my iPhone through the speakers
No, headset only
I just went to your link… no prices on the website. Price is blank
Prices are on the site at each product
Try it again
How much does this cost?
volunteeraudio.com/product/hdpkg2280-audio-upgrade
Wouldn’t it make more sense to just upgrade to the better 500 watt Rockford amp instead and not have 2 amps in the fairing. I believe the wattage is the same…?
At a higher price you can get the Rockford amp, we will have a much more powerful solution to replace either factory amp coming soon, this was a very affordable solution for people who want to hear there system
This seems to contradict your earlier video regarding using the stock amp.
If you want a low cost solution to make it where you can hear the audio this is for you, if you want over the top awesome our a2b interface and hertz solution is coming soon but at a much higher price, there are 2 different types of people. Some want to hear it, some want to feel it. We are building both solutions
@@volunteeraudio Just went back and re watched your other video. You speak of the dirty signal with hiss and hum when using the Rockford amp, and this option seems to give just that. I think most people are the same, they want a quality product at a fair price from a straight shooter.
@@alanward9660 the hiss was witnessed with other solutions that stacked a dsp with another amp, upon testing and as part of my video explained this amp did not require the addition of the dsp and had no audible hiss when tested. It has circuitry to help fix the radios signal on a gts without need of flashing and worked well in this scenario. It works and videos are honest
Can I just buy the amp?
We are limited on amps, if you already purchased the speakers from us we will sell the amp, if not, we only sell it with speakers
Send me the hertz price and this one please thanks.
Here is a link to the 2 speaker kit using hertz speakers volunteeraudio.com/product/hdpkg2279-audio-upgrade

I have a 2024 RG and I’ve added your pack with the speaker pods for 6.5 so what do you recommend far as hertz ?
Without wearing a helmet
No
Better off with the fosgate factory amp then this workaround that amplifies the existing output of the factory garbage.
Appreciate the effort you guys put in but you toss in so much bs fluff shilling to your customers / assuming they are not smart enough to see through it. Feel sorry for those that don’t and buy this on your word which is laced in lies / scare tactics.
Again, appreciate a lot of your work just tone down the bs and be more direct, honest…
