Stage 2 Rockford Fosgate Speaker Install & Ride Review + Extras!! | 2024 Harley Davidson Road Glide

Welcome to another episode! Today we're installing the Rockford Fosgate 500 watt amplifier, stage 2 fairing speakers, & optional stage 2 tour pack speakers! This is the OEM upgrade from Harley Davidson so rest assured, you won't have any electrical warranty issues going this route! Very easy install, follow along, save some money on labor and know your bike better!
This upgrade is substantial in my opinion. Just changing the amplifier and fairing speakers nearly DOUBLES the sound output as can be heard in the video. I have had some intricate audio systems on boats and a few of my trucks and can say for a simple oem upgrade option and not having high expectations for bass out of 6.5" speakers- these sound good.
As always, thanks for watching!

    @@boardx77 glad you like them!! I think they’re plenty, I don’t know why people say they prefer other options where you have to piggy back amps. After 2 hours I have to turn them down because my ears have had enough lol

    No doubt the stage 2 sound system is louder then stock...I have a 2020 ultra limited with stock sound system and I can hear my music at 60-70mph no problem!...I wear a full face helmet as well...the big difference....I also wear ear plugs! Cutting out all the high pitch wind noise is a game changer!👍...great install!...thanks for sharing...stay safe out there!!😎👍🤙👍🤙🇨🇦

    Very informative. Now I'm ready to pull off my fairing when the time comes. I did hertz front and rear speakers. Waiting for the new hertz Amp from volunteer audio. Not a fan of Rockford anything. Thanks for a great video.

    When you selected “show info” on the amp you could see the amps software show 1330. The newest software update will show 1380. Ran into many issues with the bike/amp not communicating resulting in no audio. No need to take it to the dealer if you just get two usb c flash drives and download the updates into that. Took maybe 45 minutes including downloading the updates and unzipping them onto the usb. Now I can do all my own updates. Best of all I no longer have amp issues resulting in no sound.

    Very nice! I almost went that direction but Volunteer audio is very very close to releasing their 1000w Amp and AB interface. They have a piggyback bandaid Amp set up available right now but I'm waiting on the 1k. I do really enjoy your videos and appreciate the time you spend on them. Keep them coming!

    Traded my 2019 with the Kenwood kit for my 24 with stg2 Rockford, and the Kenwood is/has alot better power. Both sound good, but I give it to the Kenwood. Rockford is way better than boom though.

    The factory amp is a 200watt 4 channel. The harness that will run the rear speakers ends under the seat. From what I read is you need to add the rear speaker harness and pin it into the factory plug.

    I don’t believe that is the case…I had the rear speakers wired in and had no option to program in the rear speakers on channel 3 and channel 4 on infotainment until I had the 500watt in…

    In case you didn't know, Rockford was bought out by an advertising company that has no business in audio. RF is over priced from HD and not that great. Years ago, yes RF was ok, for what you paid, there's better speaker options and amp. However, go with what you think is good.
