So glad I was working in Knoxville this week! I was able to meet Jay and pick up my new Hertz speaker and amp kit. Installed the night I got home, hardest thing to deal with is the gas tank, but everything else was super simple and it sounds amazing! I have been doing my research and Dollar for Dollar, the best upgrade available for a 2 speaker system! Loud and clear with good bass and you can hear it easily at 80 plus mph. Yes, it is sad that you have to spend money over the factory system just to be able to hear it, but Harley factory systems have never been that great anyway. I’m just glad Volunteer Audio puts out the great product they do and for a lot less money than the other options. Thanks Jay!

Hi Jay, Good concise video once again. Looking forward to the installation video. You have the cleanest workshop we try to keep our 'Green Room' clean but yours leaves ours a bit behind. I had a look on the Kenwood website in relation to the XM160-2 their tech spec's are not that detailed, am I correct in thinking this amp has a mini DSP onboard to deal with the H-D low end EQ issue? Regards, MS325.

@@volunteeraudio installed this with the hertz speakers. The black negative plug in on factory harness doesn't fit so much on the hertz neo speakers. I had to take a pair of pliers and crimp it down pretty tight to make it a tight fit on the speaker connection. Also I rerouted the headlight wiring instead of going up through the normal spot I pushed it down and zipped up the slack and tucked it underneath to make it easier to stick the kenwood amp in place. I felt like the wiring was being smashed or in the way the way harley had it ran. Other than that went pretty well. Took me longer just following your step by step video prob more like 4 hours as I took my time and didn't want to break anything. Having 2xl size hands makes it tough in a tight spot lol.
