The 4" Polk speakers aren't loud enough on the highway. I have a set in the box where they belong. That same type of setup has been available for Road Kings for a couple of years.

Are you going to go buy a Harley so you can use one?

It would be nice if they offered one without the speakers and that you could add as a later option. When I had my Ultra Classic I always used my ear buds.

It's a copy of the old Vetter Cycle Sound.
They sucked then, and I'll bet they still suck. There is no room for the sound produce properly. And you won't be able to hear it clearly above 30mph. You may as well get one of those $50 handlebar speaker set-ups. MT

Granted I wouldn't put it in the house and expect it to be an audiophiles dream, but I figured it's an improvement over what I have now

Any set up is just noise with loud pipes and intakes a good blutooth set up with a mute switch is money better spent. IMHO

It won't be enough of an improvement to justify the expense.
Put the money into a fairing. There is plenty of space for the sound to reproduce. With a cheap ebay 45 watt head unit I can hear mine clearly up to about 65, I figure with an inexpensive amp I should be good for 85. MT Quote:
