    It’s not a bad product, but if you’re riding on anything with semi-loud pipes you cannot hear the music at all. I added an amp along with two 4 1/2 inch JBL speakers and it does ok. But the bar itself will simply not get it done unless you’re stopped with the bike idling.

    I installed on a 2014 Road King the ignition wire I used was the grouping of wires going into the rear fender peel the casing back a little and t-tap the red/white wire going to rear lights. Now it is capable of turning on and off with ignition and there will be no battery drain when bike is turned off.

    I think you overstated things, it is unlikely you will hear classical music with any real quality unless stopped at traffic lights. On the highway without a screen, unless it's AC/DC playing you probably won't hear the music too well.

      I agree. I had a '17 Street Glide with Harley's Boom setup, and at 75 watts per channel (front speakers only) at 70 I had to turn the volume all the way up. Just not enough volume, even with dealer flashing the setup to the ECM.

      It's been great for the last 2 yrs, but the power button died now, so I ordered a new one, silver this time. But other than that, it's been great. I like the fact that the speakers don't shut off head plugging into the headphone jack. I have the headphone jack running to a 4 ch. 400 watt amp powering four additional speakers, and also a 150 watt 8 inch subwoofer. My tunes on my 2005 HD Road king sounds absolutely amazing.

    • @CruiserCustomizing
      @CruiserCustomizing  8 лет назад

      Each time the key is turned off you will need to press the power button. The only solution is a direct connection to the battery which may drain the battery over time. It may be possible to install a switch for longer storage periods to avoid draining the battery. I would test this at home so you can recharge the battery if it draws too much power for the direct connection. Please note this could shorten the life of your battery.

    • @jpcyphers

      I found that I don't even turn it off on the sound bar itself, but with my bike. I just fire up the blue tooth on the phone, get a song going, fire up the bike, sound bar comes on and it automatically links to my phone.
      Pretty cool.

      I really wish we could help, but we don't have a manual with the wiring diagram. Have you tried to contact the Harley dealer to see if they can help identify the correct wire. From previous experience you should have a few options for switched power on your bike pre-wired.

    • @jpcyphers
      @jpcyphers 8 лет назад +1

      I wound up pulling my fuse box out a little, and tapped off the buss bar, which is a direct link to the ignition switch. I used my bench top multi-meter to make sure my tap point was switched. Luckily the orange wire was long enough. The orange wire is just a current sensing wire, so it doesn't need to be fused.
