Yes, absolutely. You have 2 options: 1) H-D dealership can use their DigitalTech device to flash a “2-Speaker / 1-amp Upper Fairing” setting. This is the flattest response possible. 2) Authorized Rockford Fosgate Motorcycle Audio Dealer use the TechnoResearch flasher to set the “Rockford Fosgate 2014+ All Bikes” setting.
You may want to look at our HD14U-STAGE3. It's marketed for an Ultra, but you'll use the 2nd pair of TMS65 speakers & harnesses for your lowers instead of the TourPak. You'll also want to look into extensions for the lowers.

I have the Sony XAV-AX7000 installed on my 2014 Street Glide. I'm preparing to install your kit. How do I connect the amp to the stereo? Is that what the DSR1 cable is for?
The HD14RGSG-STAGE2 comes with a T-harness for connection to factory 6.5, 6.5 GT, and GTS Harley-Davidson radios. You will not use this, but will need to wire your own RCAs from the radio to the TM400X4ad amplifier and your own connections from the amplifier output to the speakers. The only thing you'll be able to use from the kit is the power harness. Once installed, you'll need to use the Amp Tuning Guide for everything except the INPUT LEVELS. To set those, you'll need to use the CLEAN setup. You can download the Amp Tuning Guide here: rftech.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1355

It changes the acoustical quality of the audio, damping the sound. This will be most noticeable parked, at low listening levels. However, on the road at higher volumes, you likely will not notice any difference.
Rockford Fosgate has developed 2 types of systems that utilize a saddlebag amplifier: 1) The AFTERMARKET audio systems like the one you see above are typically sold and installed by independent motorcycle audio dealers. In this family, we offer a 10" Subwoofer Add-On Kit that utilizes an M5-800X4 amplifier in the saddlebag. We also offer a Road King kit that utilizes an amplifier in the saddlebag: You can find out more on those kits here: • HD14-SBSUB: rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/hd14-sbsub/ • HD14RK-STAGE2: ua-cam.com/video/ExnZK4_UzFs/v-deo.html 2) The OEM system typically sold and installed by your local Harley-Davidson dealer are called "Harley-Davidson Audio Powered by Rockford Fosgate".

Yes, Rockford Fosgate recommends flashing the radio since it's easier to re-equalize the system using a flatter response than using the OEM that has massive amounts of boost.
Yes, the HD14RGSG-STAGE2 audio kit is designed for 2014 and newer FLHX and FLHXS models with the 6.5GT or GTS source units. You can find more information here: www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/hd14rgsg-stage2/
Over 90% of problems we see regarding burned speakers is due to one of these two issues: 1) Turning the source unit beyond the "clipping point". On 2014+ Street Glides with GT or GTS radios, this is 3 bars from MAX. If the volume is used in the top 3 bar range, you're almost guaranteed to blow a speaker. 2) Improper amplifier tuning. Download our Amp Tuning Guide to verify the amplifier is setup to our recommendations: rftech.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1355/ Since this is within the 1 year warranty, you can submit for a Warranty Replacement here: rockfordfosgate.com/contact-us/41/

Any benefit to putting sound deadening material in the speaker pods behind the speaker itself ?
It changes the acoustical quality of the audio, damping the sound. This will be most noticeable parked, at low listening levels. However, on the road at higher volumes, you likely will not notice any difference.

I had your kit installed last week at HD of Indy 😎

if i use a dsr1 in conjunction with this kit d o i still need to have the stereo flashed?
Yes, Rockford Fosgate recommends flashing the radio since it's easier to re-equalize the system using a flatter response than using the OEM that has massive amounts of boost.
Does this work on a 2019 streetglide with the new boom gts stereo?
Yes, the HD14RGSG-STAGE2 audio kit is designed for 2014 and newer FLHX and FLHXS models with the 6.5GT or GTS source units. You can find more information here: www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/hd14rgsg-stage2/
Had this done last year to my 14 Street Glide and now the left side speaker is out and the right side is cutting in and out. Not even a year later!

Can you use the factory grill with these speakers?
Technically Yes. The kit is supplied with replacement grilles that match the factory fitment.
Rockford Fosgate thanks! I tend to lean more towards the factory look with the aftermarket goods installed..
You're welcome @@jrob6694! At least keep them because if the factory ones get bent/damaged, you've got some good looking replacements :-)
This looks like a pure nightmare.
