Harley-Davidson Audio Upgrade – High Output Bagger Sound System
This Harley-Davidson audio build is a perfect example of how a “simple upgrade” can quickly evolve once real-world riding exposes the limits of factory sound. What started as a daily rider improvement turned into a two-phase bagger audio transformation focused on clarity, volume, and balance at highway speeds.

Two-Phase Harley Audio Build
This build unfolded in stages, which is common for riders who want to improve sound without guessing or overbuilding from day one.
Phase One – Foundation Upgrade
The initial focus was improving clarity and usable volume for daily riding. Establishing a solid foundation made it clear how much potential the bike had with proper amplification and speaker selection.
Phase Two – Full System Expansion
Once the difference was heard on the road, the system was expanded to deliver more presence and balance, especially at highway speeds where wind and road noise are highest.
Parts Used in the Final Setup
Cicada Audio CHX69 Pro Coaxial 6x9 Speakers
High-output 6x9 speakers designed for loud, clean playback that holds together when riding at speed.

Purpose-built amp rack that provides secure mounting, clean layout, and proper airflow for reliable performance.
Hogtunes Retro Lid-RM 6x9 Cut-In Kit
