3. SounDigital EVOPS 1200.4 All Weather Amplifier

Considering new speakers for Harley Davidson motorcycle? If so, that’s great! However, you may also consider upgrading to an all-weather amplifier. And if you want a top-of-the-line option, go for the SounDigital EVOPS 1200.4 Amp. This beast comes loaded with crazy power, including connections for speakers, subwoofers, and more!

While this amplifier can work with subwoofers, it’s intended to power your speakers. If you install new speakers without powering them with an amp, they will get their energy from your radio. However, radios don’t supply the necessary power you need. For your speakers to work at their best, the SounDigital EVOPS 1200.4 four-channel amplifier can be a great solution!

Do you need an all-weather amplifier?

Many Harley Davidson riders can’t decide if buying an all-weather amplifier is worth it. Here at Garage Bagger Stereo, we believe it’s always a good idea. Even if you only ride on sunny days, you never know when you’ll experience water. Even someone driving by can splash your ride, which could damage your Harley Davidson audio system.

4. Ground Zero GZRW 8XSPL Subwoofer

Looking to add some bass to your motorcycle? While upgrading your speakers and radio can do wonders, a high-quality subwoofer can make your system that much more epic. And if you want a great option that’s loaded with power, go for the Ground Zero GZRW 8XSPL 8″ Subwoofer.

This beast features 500 RMS Power Handling, a 50 mm / 2″ copper voice coil, a reinforced paper cone, and 2x2 ohms impedance. This Ground Zero sub is also compact, so it can easily be mounted on your Harley without getting in the way. If you want an industry-leading subwoofer that can breathe life into your motorcycle stereo system, choose the Ground Zero GZRW 8XSPL 8″ Subwoofer today!
