    Our Motorcycle Audio Packages Make Great Audio Easy

    July 8, 2025 By Jeff Sweere 3 Comments

    Motorcycle Audio PackagesThe staff at Sweet Sounds in Mankato, Minnesota, are not only car and truck audio experts; we can handle all your motorcycle audio upgrades as well. Choosing the right product for any audio application can be daunting – but we’ve made that task easy with our Motorcycle Audio Packages. Our packages feature the best known, most reliable motorcycle audio products available.

    Rock-Solid Source Units

    2014–2024 Harley-Davidson Touring Bikes:

    • Soundstream Reserve WHD14+ – Plug-n-Play Head Unit for Harley-Davidson® Touring Motorcycles w/ Wireless Apple CarPlay® & Android Auto®, & 7” QLCD Touchscreen.

    • Soundstream Reserve HDHU.14+ V2 – A second-generation, top-tier multimedia unit for 2014+ Touring models w/ Wireless Apple CarPlay & Wireless Android Auto, iDataLink Maestro, iGo GPS Navigation, SirusXM, Wireless Headset Audio, & Rally Mode Music Broadcasting, and full gauge/data display support. Fully compatible with your factory handlebar controls and factory fit.

    1998–2013 Harley-Davidson Touring Bikes:

      • Rockford Fosgate PMX-HD9813 – A rugged, drop-in replacement loaded with modern features like Bluetooth® streaming, USB support, and a bright display readable in full sunlight. Built to handle the vibration and elements of life on a bike.

      • Soundstream Reserve WHD.9813SG – Designed for 1998–2013 Street Glide and Electra Glide bikes, this unit includes Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, Bluetooth, and a weather-resistant touchscreen. It retains handlebar control integration and is built specifically for Harley fairings.
    • Soundstream Reserve HDHU.9813RG – Tailored for 1998–2013 Road Glide models, this model features a vivid 7” display, built-in amplifier, wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, and full support for factory controls and gauges.

    Legacy Support: Older Bikes and Specialty Applications

    For older bikes or special builds where a marine-grade radio is still the best fit, we use Sony marine source units like the DSX-M80 or MEX-M72BT. These models offer Bluetooth audio streaming, USB device support, and proven durability — but are typically reserved for non-Harley or pre-1998 custom applications.

    Amps: Power & Precision Built for the Ride

    Our most popular amplifier used to be models from Rockford Fosgate — a compact, rugged amp built for motorcycles and ATVs. While it delivered solid performance in a tiny package, we’ve now moved to more advanced, higher-powered solutions tailored for today’s riders.

    We now feature amplifier options from Cicada Audio and Memphis that offer significantly better performance, power, and features:

    • Cicada FLX1400.4P – A powerhouse 4-channel amp delivering massive output with compact footprint. Ideal for high-output speaker setups. With built in DSP (digital signal processor) allowing us to fine-tune every channel for precise sound staging, EQ, crossover points, and time alignment — all customized to your bike and riding position, this amp is often the heart of our more advanced systems.

    • Cicada FLX1000.4 – Perfect for mid- to high-power systems where space and reliability matter.

    • Cicada DSP600.4D – Combines a 4-channel amplifier with a built-in DSP (digital signal processor) for perfect output in a small package.

    • Memphis MX800.4 – A rugged, marine-grade amp with serious power and reliability for harsh environments.

    These amps are built for motorcycle use: compact, efficient, weather-resistant, and loud enough to rise above wind and road noise — exactly what riders need. In addition to these amps, we have several more motorcycle specific options on hand.

    Speakers to Rock at Interstate Speeds

    Focal has long been known for producing some of the finest speakers in the world, with innovations in cone materials and acoustic design that have set the bar across all price points — unfortunately availability of the Focal Harley HDK165 kits has become limited.

    In response, we’ve shifted to brands that offer better performance, reliability, and value for motorcycle applications — especially Cicada Audio.

    Our Featured Motorcycle Speakers:

    • Cicada CHX65.2 – High-output Pro Coax Horn Speakers engineered specifically for motorcycles. Loud, clear, and designed to overcome wind and road noise with authority.

    • Cicada 14CXK65.2 – A full 6.5-inch Mid-Bass Component Kit designed for 2014+ Harley touring bikes, with huge output and excellent detail.

    • Cicada CXX65.2 – A compact 6.5-inch Pro Coaxial option delivering outstanding efficiency and clarity in tight spaces.

    • Matching models are also available in 5×7, 6×9, and 8-inch sizes — perfect for saddlebag lids and custom locations. In addition, we have a plethora of other speakers to choose from in stock.

     Application-Specific Options:

    • Infinity Kappa Perfect 600X – A shallow-mount, high-efficiency speaker ideal for tight factory locations that still demand premium sound.

    • Memphis MXA62HD – Designed with Harley-Davidson applications in mind, these are great for value-focused builds without compromising durability or clarity.

    • Audio Dynamics PCX640S2 – Simply put, this is the best high-output horn speaker we’ve ever tested. We’ve tried nearly every option available, and this one stands out in both raw output and sound quality. You need to stop in and give these a listen.

    Pro Tip: Prioritize Speakers

    Speakers are the most important component in any audio system. If you’re building on a budget, start by investing in the best speakers possible and pair them with a proper, professionally tuned installation. The difference in clarity, volume, and overall enjoyment is massive — and the right speakers will last through future upgrades.

    Subwoofers Solutions for Deep, On-Road Bass

    Drop in Solutions:

    • Rockford Fosgate HD14-SBSUB – featuring Dual 10″ saddlebag-mounted subwoofers
    • PPI / Precision Power HD14.SBW & HD13.SBW – left or right options for 1998 – 2014 bikes, with built in amplication

    Custom Solutions:

    • Cicada Audio CMB10.S4 & CMB10.S4NEO – for the ultimate in low frequency output. Matched with a bag seal and high output port, this option is unmatched in the motorcycle audio world. High power amplification will bring these to life!

    Batteries & Wiring: The Foundation of Reliable Power

    Batteries:

    We carry high-performance lithium battery solutions from Limitless Lithium, engineered for compact spaces and big demands. The NanoHDv3 is the best HarleyNano-HDv3 replacement battery available and the Nano-OEM-27AH is an amazing solution at a slightly lower price point. Each was built from ground up for your Harley and each includes a dedicated charger/maintainer to ensure peak longevity and performance.

    Integrated wiring kits:

    • Cicada Audio
      Engineered specifically for motorcycles, these kits use true OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper) conductors, flexible high-temp jackets, and watertight fuse blocks and terminations.

    • Memphis Audio
      Their motorcycle-specific kits include oversized power and ground cables, premium fuse holders, and all necessary ring terminals and hardware — built to handle high current flow without voltage drop.

    Flashing, A2B Interfaces and the newest technology

    Motorcycle Audio Packages

    Modern Harley-Davidson touring bikes from 2014 and up—especially those equipped with the Boom! Box GTS radio—require advanced integration solutions due to their use of digital audio systems. At Sweet Sounds, we have the tools and expertise to properly flash these bikes, allowing aftermarket systems to perform at their full potential without throwing warning codes or sacrificing functionality. For 2023.5 (2024) and newer models, we use premium interfaces like the Mobridge / NAV-TV Zen-H, which provides a clean, high-voltage audio signal while preserving essential factory features. We stay current with the latest technology and integration methods, so whether you ride a 2014 Street Glide or a brand-new Road Glide CVO, we’re ready with the right gear and knowledge to make it sound incredible—without compromise.

    We Make It Easy

    At Sweet Sounds, we specialize in building complete motorcycle audio systems that balance performance, integration, and budget. Whether you’re after a full custom build or a clean upgrade that works seamlessly with your factory radio and controls, we’ll help you choose the ideal combination of speakers, amplifiers, DSP, subwoofers, and wiring to match your bike and your goals. We take the time to understand your riding style, sound preferences, and budget—then recommend gear that truly makes sense for you.
