Wow, I'd buy ice cubes in the arctic from this guy. Seems so sincere, straight up and knowledgeable. Will definitely check out their website.
Thank you
I installed the sound stream reserve with the hertz amp and infinity speakers (stage 2). I am more than impressed the ease of installation and most important the sound upgrade. Planning in the near future to add lower speakers to the system. Love your customer service, products and quality. No kidding it does look like I had the system professionally installed. Keep up the magnificent work and may the lord continue to bless you, the company and most importantly the fam.
Thank you so much, God bless!
Got mine installed the Friday night before going to Myrtle bike week everything was easy as jay says , sounds great only problem I had was getting the hertz speakers in the lid piece until I realized that it was bc the lid was flimsy . Got everything in and rolled to Myrtle , everyone I’ve come across that hears it is baffled by the setup , turned so many heads on the boulevard. My buddy liked it so much he ordered the same hertz amp that came with my kit and while I had the flash software we did his a few days later , great job jay!
Hey man, which setup did you go with? Which amp?
when I bought my package from Volunteer Audio being in California watching Jake and his videos when he said VA made everything plug and play Jake means plug and play. what worked for me is that i had a clean slate with a 2021 Electra Glide Standard. after purchasing the soundstream HDHU14 hertz amp and a pair of hertz 6.5 and a pair of hertz 6x9. before i hooked up the hertz amp i was already blown away by the sound quality, clarity, and loudness of just the headunit and the hertz 6.5. when i added the amp and the 6x9 it was a whole new level. going down the highway 90-100mph im at 37 volume and it is clear no distortion and i get highs mids and lows. best part is Jake has already tuned the hertz amp for my setup, all i had to do is plug, run the rear speaker wire and amp power to the battery and i was set. so when they say you get what you pay for! Yes i got what i payed for and more.
If anyone is on the fence on buying one of their audio packages, don't hesitate, they ROCK! I installed the Stage 2 system (Hertz Speakers and Precision Power 800W amp) and installed it myself on my 2022 Street Glide Special, sound is loud, crisp and clear I am really impressed! Truly plug n play, super easy install, took all of 3 minutes to flash the radio, thanks Volunteer Audio!!!
Thank you Mark!
Did you have the Harley dealership flash yours ?
@@Hhhhhgggihgdd nope, I used Volunteer Audios flash module you can rent from them, super easy to use, worked like a charm!
Having the HDHU in my 02 Roadglide it's in and looks like the bike jumped into the present time. Looks awesome. Glad I researched before the upgrade.
Thank you
Thank you for being so professional. I’m a new customer after watching this video!
Thank you for watching!
Awesome informative video and a great company. I definitely will be buying a system from you guys.
install took less than 3 hours. super easy and sound great.
Thank you
James in Huntsville, TX. I have just ordered a system upgrade today for my 2022 street glide special, Yahoo! I will let you know how it turns out.
How did it turn out ?
Definitely the best tech support, pre-sales, post sales support as well.
Thank you!
Well I’ll keep
My Indian! I can still make a Hertz amp work with my bike! Thanks for all the great info on this amp.
Thank you for watching!
Great job Jay! Very well explained. Keep them coming!! God Bless!✌️😇👍
I love what your offering and how well you explain it! Just too darn bad for us Indian owners!!
We are working on some future Indian products
Will be taking a trip down from Kentucky to get mine installed in the near future
Thank you
Honestly I used to love Fat Head cycles as they would pre solder and set everything to plug and play which was awesome but they have disappeared. Then I found you guys, I reached out to customer service when I needed to buy a harness to add rear speakers and service was great, price was good and shipping was fast! Cant wait to buy the new soundstream reserve from you!
Thank you!
Next time I’m in Knoxville I’m going to stop by.
Sounds great!
Great, & very informative. Was just on your website, considering ordering for my Road Glide ST and have a question about whether you recommend the Hertz or Infinity system?
Give us a call at 1-844-30AUDIO, would love to speak with you about your build
Very interesting and informative video.
Thank you for watching!
Great information!
keep up the good work made my decision.will go hertz
Thank you so much!
Great stuff! I have the Sony X7000 radio. Do you recommend upgrading to the new radio? If not, do you still make kits for those? I have to Rockford front speakers and that’s all.
Do you have systems for pre 2014 touring?? I have a 2012 electr glide classic, just looking for front speakers. Thank you.
We do, give us a call at 1-844-30AUDIO
I just bought a 2024 Road Glide Limited and upgraded to Rockford Fosgate stage 2, did not do prior research. I spend over $3k on that and wanted an 8 speaker system instead of 4 but that price was way out of tough. Now that I already have what I have can I add saddle bag and lower fairing speakers of a different brand? And amp of course.
Not and the end result be good, first you need to upgrade your existing Rockford system, our hertz amp can run all 8 speakers off one amp. Give us a call at 1-844-30AUDIO to go over options and more details
Love the content! Is Harley motorcycles the only thing you do? Have you ever looked at the Can-Am Spyder RT model?
We are currently focused on Harley, other makes will come once we get all the Harley Content finished
Love this channel
Thank you!
oK, nice that you went into a discussion for us but did you think about telling us just what all the abbreviations you mentioned like a "DSP" or a "rider box' is, "RTA" really was or meant? The amp install looked just like a Rockford Fosgate amp I watched (plugs all the same type) I don't think you mentioned or recommended how or who ask to do the flash
We have over 120 videos and yes we cover all the topics in the other videos, for example here is the video that covers flashing your stock radio Step by Step - How to flash your factory radio when adding a new amp to your Harley Davidson

@@volunteeraudio I think it took all of 5 minutes to get your reply.. nice work. I looking over the stuff for my 2021 street glide (with navigation).. Yea, Like the suspension, the Motor Company really cuts corners on the audio.
Love your you tube show on stereos...what would you recommend for my 2016 triglide?
Give us a call and we can go over options and recommendations at 1-844-30AUDIO
Jay, I just purchased the Stage 6 Hertz with the 1000 w amp. I run the HDHU.14Si head unit right now while I wait on my V2 to ship. To get the most out of my system. Should I still flash the bike to 6 Speaker 2 amp to get the most out of the system. Right now it is flashed to Stage 2 Rockford Fosgate with tour pack speakers.
No need to flash if using the hdhu14si radio, if using a stock radio you must use our recommended flash , 6 speaker 2 amp or just select the one that says “volunteer audio”
I have a 2017 Road Glide Special that I have added a King Tour pak. With that, I have also added all 8 Stage 11 speaker's/Amp's(4). How do I fix my system? My Lid speakers in my opinion are junk! Im getting by with the rest of them. Thanks.
I got boss speaker I did get your harness I did not like the wiring harness boss had. The box says 600 amps. But most of the you tube video says 400amps. I’m retiring in 2 years and I’m planing on getting a new bike and a gift to me. So I’m not spending too much on the bike.
Thank you for watching!
My two lowers and my right saddlebag speaker went out on my 2015 CVO street glide. 6 speakers total on the bike. 3 not working. What would you check that might be a simple fix?
Make sure the plugs are fully plugged in at the bags
@@volunteeraudio thanks!
that road glide sounds awesome but i have a question. I have a road glide ultra that's a 2011 with an aftermarket head unit. after listening for about 10 minutes it gets very distorted, will an amp help since i have mtx speakers in the fairing and the tour pack???
Which model year are you talking about? I have a 2010, do I need it flashed if add an amp and better speakers? Will 6.5" speakers fit in my 2010 FLHTK?
2010 we recommend radio replacement
The first time I heard you use this song, I didn't like it. Now several channels I watch use this song, so I have to like it. lol Would a diamond 4v2 run 4 Herts 65 neos's and be loud and clear? I have 2 of them and a 2v2. Also have the Hertz 6x9 neos in the lids. What do you recommend? Running the 4v2 at 2 ohm to the front and the 2v2 to the rear at 4 ohm?
no stage kits available for those of us that have slightly older bikes. I guess my 2012 street glide is not important anymore.
No we build complete solutions for your bike, call 1-844-30AUDIO to go over options, just not in the website yet, we are working on it
Will you be doing an install and sound demo on a Precision Power system anytime soon?
Great question. Would love to hear your opinion.
I did the 4 speaker Precision Power system on my 20 SGS. I love it!! I went with the 4ohm speakers so I can add more speakers later in the tour pack. The system I got was as Jay says, plug and play. The system is great to install myself. It sounds AWESOME!! No matter the speed or wind.
Hello Jay from Southern California. My question is how could I tune my 2013 road king? I have Hertz speakers 6.5 on my lowers and 6x9 on my lids. I have a fosgate 400 watt amp 4 Chanel. I also have a MTX sound bar in front of my bars. That allows me to connect my phone using a line out going to to my amp. I have no idea how
To set my gains. Can you help? Mario
What would you recommend for a 2007 Electra Glide Standard? I currently have a stock head unit, running Hertz ECX165.5 speakers with a Rockford PBR300x4 AMP. I'm leaning towards
HERTZ SPL Show Series Bundle with One Pair of ST
25A NEO Compression Tweeters and One Pair of SV
165 NEO 6.5" Midrange Drivers. Also considering speaker lids with another Rockford PBR300x4 amp that I already have, but what speakers? On a budget unfortunately
Give us a call at 1-844-30AUDIO, I would highly recommend the radio upgrade before anything else but we can go over options and pricing when you call in
I would like to get one of these packages from you I have a 2018 Street glide I put the new Rockford fosgate Harley system in my bike with Harley lids in the saddlebags the system is just not good but in the saddle bags I know the lids are smaller than 6x9s I'm just kind of lost I don't know where to go from here
with a 4 channel amp. you said 4 ohms speakers the amp can handle up to 8 speakers. so on my ultra. i want to do a 6 speaker set up. do all the speakers still get the same rms power? do all the speakers play at full potential?
If I were to purchase the wired amp upgrade (HMP4D), do you send a pc to use to flash the HD radio? I know your competitor sends it while holding a deposit, then we ship it back. I like your options better and would rather buy from you but I'm in Boston. Awesome work btw, thank you for the content!
We don’t ship a computer, we do rent the flash tools to flash the bike but you need a pc and internet
@@volunteeraudio I just found your step-by-step video on flashing the radio lol Very good video and you have me sold. I have the Rockford stage II speakers in my 19 ultra, fairing and tour pak, that I'll use until I can afford hertz, no amp by the way. I want to add your HMP amp, but will I still get a noticeable increase in performance with those speakers? BUT after watching you amp comparison, I might go with the Hertz SP4.900 because if I upgrade later, I want the right amp for the job. Would this blow the Rockfords, or good till I can spend the money on the Hertz? Btw, if I blow them, I have a reason to buy the Hertz ;)
This is just what I need for my 2020 street glide. I have seen other you tube Harley stereo guys who install and don't want to sell you a complete kit as they want the install cash as well. That is a bit difficult for me as I live in France ! This is perfect as I have a pair of the hertz 165 neos waiting to go in the bike , so can order the amp and wiring from you. Can you tell me do you use Oxygen free copper wire for power and ground ?
Absolutely, we only use OFC wire
I am not knowledgable about audio, but I have a question. On my stock GT system radio clarity declines rapidly from 50mph up. But the voice of the navigation system is great up to 80 or 85, probably beyond. Why is that?
Probably the frequency of the nav voice is more efficient and does not distort the speakers
Hi Jay! love the videos, sent you a couple of emails. not sure if you could squeeze some time from from busy schedule to reply them
Your set-ups are for 1998 and newer....what about us that have pre-98 bikes that need to upgrade the head unit, speakers, and would still like to be able to use the hand controls to raise and lower the volume, and change channels on the fly? 1996 FLHT (Electra Glide Standard)
Add this harness and then all our 1998-2013 kits fit your 1996 volunteeraudio.com/product/metra-bc-9713

great video and extremely informative. one question though. you stated you use the boom 6 speaker 2 amp flash. is that the same regardless of the number of speakers you are running? i have a 2019 E glide standard that i put a 2 channel cerwin vega amp and polk 6.5 speakers in. i used the BT35 to correct the eq curve. all of this was done prior to finding your channel. should i flash the radio and eliminate the BT35? i will also be planning on the HDHU14, just not this year.
The flash is the same no matter how many speakers, line levelers do not work, properly flash the radio and get rid of the biketronics part
@@volunteeraudio that is one quick reply, thanks a lot!!
What Jay said. Cerwin Vega B52, B54 and B55 series amps accept high level input. They are the happiest between 5 and 10 volts. Flash the bike and it will cure that problem. I'm running the B54 in my 07 with the AVC turned off and it's extremely loud. I'm pretty sure you can get the flash from Volunteer Audio also.
When Harley sends out updates you would down load them onto a flash drive and the system would take over if one were to upgrade to the new system would you still do the updates that Harley puts out the same way?
Software updates on the factory radio will still work the same
Good info… I do want to do my own system… I’ll contact you today.
Call 1-844-30AUDIO , thank you for watching!
So, you recomend flash but if I buy your product online, where am I supposed to flash the radio?
You can rent the technoresearch flash tool from us or visit a technoresearch dealer to get it flashed, your local Harley dealers cannot correctly flash the radio. Technoresearch.info will show you your nearest dealer
OK Jay. I have watched all of your vids and I want to make a decision. 2019 CVO Road Glide. I want to keep the current radio and change out the speakers and amps. If you were making the upgrade on YOUR bike would you go with Hertz our Infinity or Precision speakers? In addition, using a 6x9 with the special bracket, does it affect space very much? thx
This is what I would do, volunteeraudio.com/product/hertz-6-5-sx165neo-6x9-sx690neo-4-speaker-replacement-for-cvo-boom-2-hmp4d-amp-for-2014-2020-harley-davidson-with-factory-radio
It does use more space than the stock 5x7 but not enough to merit staying with a 5x7
@@volunteeraudio Thanks so much. This what I will do. I will pull the trigger in July. Thanks
Would be nice for guys like me that just want a BLUETOOTH setup with no head unit. Do you have those?
We do offer this for roadking
Can your put a system on a hd breakout 107 2018
We do not offer anything for a breakout
Just order the stage 2 kit with neo what flash do I use for factory gts stereo it's 2021 street glide I also order some hertz 6x9 will it be ready to after plug and play
We send direction that show exactly which flash to do, the amp will be setup for front and rear when it ships
@@volunteeraudio ok cool thanks
Would you recommend in bag lids 1 x 8 inch or 2 x 6x9 for each bag
What is it you are trying to accomplish, an 8” or 6x9” give good midbass and rear fill. If you are after low bass a subwoofer is needed
@volunteeraudio well I want to do saddle bag lid speakers. I have the 3 options per lid. 1 x 6x9 or 2 x 6x9 or 1 x 8" with tweeter or 3 x 6.5" need bass. I listen to a lot of edm and alternative and old school rap. I have 4 x 5" in fairing and 2 x 6.5" in lower fairings. They ate all full range
@@wodifpv644 dual 6x9’s leak very bad, if that does not matter to you I think 2 6x9’s sound better than 1 8”
@volunteeraudio what about 3 6.5" vs 2 6x9
What kinda money would it take to make my 2021 tri glide harley davidson sound better
Really depends on how much better? Call 1-844-30AUDIO to go over options and pricing

Would playing this at high volume for long rides harm the system?
We set the gains so we don’t have distortion, without distortion or clipped amp signal you can play it as long as you want without harming anything but your hearing
@@easyrideguy this is a Rockford fosgate problem, all of the speakers we sell have large enough neo magnets to disperse heat and not have this issue, the precision power speakers move the magnet to the front to move the heat out of the bag for better cooling
Do you have trusted certified installers in Florida?
