Why Does My Harley Stereo System Sound So Bad?

Harley Stereo SystemSound Depot and Performance in Gainesville is a specialist in motorcycle audio systems. One of the brands we upgrade most often is Harley-Davidson. People often come to our store and ask our staff, “Why does my Harley stereo system sound so bad? And can you fix it?” The short answer is yes – we can dramatically improve your stereo system on your bike. Let’s explore why your factory audio is poor and how we can help.

Harley Stereo System Speakers Look Like They Cost $1 to Make

First and foremost, Harley speakers were never designed to sound good. They were a means to an end. Fortunately, our team can wake up the sound of your bike with a set of good-quality speakers. If you own a 98-13 model touring bike, we can even upgrade the size of the speakers in your fairing while keeping the stock look. That gives you the benefit of more output and better sound quality. If your bike has the tour pack, we can upgrade those speakers as well. If you really want to jam, let’s talk about adding speakers in your lowers and/or the bag lids.

It Takes Power To Overcome All The Road Noise

Harley Stereo SystemWhen you turn on the stereo system in your bike with the engine off, it doesn’t sound very good, but at least you can hear it. When start your bike, the engine drowns out almost all the music. If you start riding, the wind noise makes it all but impossible to hear your music.

The good news is an amplifier can solve the problem. We carry several models of amplifiers designed to work with the limited charging system and can be hidden inside your fairing. Once you upgrade the speakers and add an amplifier, you will have the sound quality and the volume needed to create a concert on two wheels.

Upgrade The Radio In Your Fairing

If you own a 98-13 Harley, you may be lacking some features, such as Bluetooth for wireless music streaming, USB ports for your portable media or SiriusXM Radio. Did you know we can swap out your existing radio with a new model that gives you plenty of new musical choices, all the while keeping your handlebar controls working perfectly? The improvement in sound quality alone convinces many of our clients do this upgrade.
